Is it possible to change the default forum page to something other than the forum login page?

For example: I would like http://www.myweb.com/forum - www.myweb.com/forum to go to a page that does not show the forum structure to the public. I would like that default page to go to a page that forces the user to log in prior to being able to view the forum structure.

Thank you.

Rudy,

You can always Hide sections of your Forums to the public.. That why you have individual groups to be able to see certain section.. For instance I would make the Guest Group not able to have access to any section of your forums until they are registered..

you could also add the following to your default.asp page:

<%
if lngLoggedInUserID = 2 then
   closeDB()
   Response.Redirect("login_user.asp")
end if
%>

(Note: I did this off the top of my head, so you may need to change the login page link)

This will redirect guests to the Login page, as you wanted.
