Hide registration page from public

[GuanoLad]

Hi

My board is publicly viewable, but I wish to only allow Members of my site to Register. Currently I've done this by having all links to the Register page go to an intermediate page behind my pasword protected Members Area, which then links to register.php.

But anyone familiar with vbulletin can easily guess the URL of the Registration page, so can anyone suggest a way to make sure people in the Public area cannot find my Registration page?

Changing the filename will be problematic, as it would affect the running of the board. So it has to be something that covers that base. Moving that single page to behind my Members Area would probably come up with the same problem.

Anyone have an idea that might work?

via your htpassword file, you handle the file register.php with the same protection that you have for your private part...
