Does vB 3.5.3 have any feature where you can create a private forum or just a thread, accessible with a password?

The ladies on my forum want a "ladies only" section, password protected so the men can't read it.

Is this do-able?

Since vB3.0 you can already create a Private Forum, using Forum Permissions. It is also possible to password protect a forum.

All already there.

ok I figured out how to do the first part... but I can't find the password protect feature... could you please tell me where to look?

It is one of the Forum Settings (AdminCP->Forum Manager->edit forum)

great, thank you!

Hmm with what you want, you might want to look into a hack that is here at vb.org, that will put user in a (secondary) usergroup, based on profile fields. You could probably use that to create a Male & a Female usergroup.

THAT... is what I'm looking for!

Just in case you didn't find them yet:
- Add User to Primary Usergroup Based on Value of Custom Profile Field
- Add User to Secondary Usergroup Based on the Value of a Custom Profile Field at Reg.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
