Suggestions:
 
1)  I thought that in the Admin console, for the SMTP User and Password setting, the password should be set to a password field and hidden for privacy issues as now I'm giving other users Admin access and they can see the SMTP email password and may abuse it.  (P/s:  In Snitz Forum this field is password field also).
 
2)  Can't find the hide forum feature so that non-registered users cannot see the structure of the forum at all.  Now they cannot read the details only.

Solution to first problem
1) Open admin_email_notify_configure.asp using a text editor (e.g notepad or dreamweaver)
2) Go to line 317: find this
type="text" name="mailServerPass"

3) Change this to
type="<%
If lngLoggedInuserID = 1 then
Response.Write("text")
Else
Response.Write("password")
End If
%>" name="mailServerPass"

4) Save and upload the modified file. Now everyone else will not be able to see the password only the main administrator can see it as plain text.




Solution to second problem
1) Navigate to http://[forumpath]/admin.asp, login as administrator
2) Navigate to Form Admin >> [ForumName]
3) Under Forum Details you will find "Hide Forum if no access"
