I use WWF as a means of support for my users. There are some instances in which they need to post private information. I would like them to be able to post new topics in a forum section. I would make it so that only the original author of the thread and moderators can view the post. Is this possible? |

You could enable post approval in that forum so that posts remain hidden and can only be viewed by the admin or a moderator, but you would not be able to have it so only the topic starter can view the replies.

Bruce: Thank you for your reply. That sounds like a potential partial solution. I would like to request that this functionality be added to the feature request list. Thank you again for you reply! |

The other way around this - for now - would be to setup individual forums for specific users, and password protect each individual forum - problem would be there would be a lot of passwords for you to have to remember

TWS: Thanks for the reply. I do need to implement a ticket system, but the one I want is SQL Server based and I'm not excited about paying the monthly MS SQL Server fee :( |

I was originally wondering why you would want such a feature as it has never been requested before in 8 years, but now you mention that you want to use Web Wiz Forums as a Ticket System I can understand where you are coming from. It would not take to much to include features in Web Wiz Forums so it could be used in a Ticket system in this way, and will certainly be placed on a 'todo' list, but as it would require database changes it would need to wait for the next major release as database changes are not made for minor releases. ------------- 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 |

Why not consider switching over to Web Wiz as your hosting provider? I did and I am very pleased with the services available. I believe you can get hosting (including a SQL Server databases) at very good rates. The http://www.webwiz.net/webhosting/windows_web_site_hosting.asp" rel="nofollow - starter web hosting works out (currently from £6.95 a month or £69.95 a year - $10.78 or $108.48 in US Dollars) You would get included the Web Wiz Premium Edition forum software included, plus 2 SQL Server 2008 and 2 MySQL 5.1 databases as part of the whole package (no extra charges such as monthly server fees  ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |
