You can already setup the forum so only certain member groups can have access to it, simply make it so the guest account can't have access to that forum. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| Is there a way to change the default Generic Forum Permissions for all of them at once, without having to go into each topic? |

| ver7 beta 3 - I have set the permissions for the forums, but unfortunantly, the forums are still listed. I would like to hide the forums titles altogether if access is not permitted. Like wise, if they are not registered I simply want to redirect them to the login page. (If I put some code in the common page to check if registered, then access to the signup pages and the like are not accessible.) |

On v7 you can set it to hide the forums if the user has no access, take a closer look at the admin section and you'll find that option, if you want it to redirect to the login page if the user is not registered add this line: <% If blnGuest Then Response.Redirect "login_user.asp" %> on default.asp right next to: <!--#include file="common.asp" -->

| Awesome, I knew this had to be in there somewhere! Thank you fernan82! As far as the code is concerned, this works great for the default page, and as long as I have the forums set to registered user, you can't hack the url! thank you very much! |
