me2be just stops anyone accessing the forum unless registered (in control pane)

my trick is what you want then, just copy and paste the signup form, check the action url is correct and if you don't want to use all the fields (like i don't) you probably have to use some hidden variables. You could always just copy my form and use that but there is a hidden variable or two in their that you would not want as it is part of my tracking script.
