[digitalSite]

Okay. My web site is only for certain members of an organization. Guests can still view vbAdvanced on the front page, but they cannot read the entire article though.

Basically, the reason I did this was because I am using the referral system and WISH that only those with a referral can get inside. But since that doesn't exist,

I have guests get referred by current members, verify their email, and then must be approved by me, while double-checking with the referrer to make sure they did invite them in. It's too bad I have to do this one by one.

Because of the referral system, I did not want tguests to view forum members' username, which would allow them to register by entering in the referral ID - one less security wall for me. So that's why I didn't want them viewing anything on the forum.

P.S. Why isn't it a good idea for me to block out guests? Was the counter update to me?

If anyone has an easier system of "only referred guests can enter" please let me know. Thanks!
