Locking Forum Threads I want to lock certain threads in the forum and allow some open to the general public and all open to members When I make them private they only show to the admin correct? If I “Allow access only by specific members” through localcalendar and create a members access list there are issues. The calendar on the web page is only viewable to the members not the general public. I could probably deal with that issue. How would I know if a member wanted to join our forum? I assume once they have a user name I could add it to the list but again how would I get that information? Email – phone call I also looked at moderators but you cannot assign different members to moderate different areas. Admin only for all areas. Any help…. |

Re: Locking Forum Threads Actually, I wasn't aware the forums had that capability  You'll have to forgive me while I play around with it a bit. On other sites I have used, usually there is a public post (in a locked thread) that tells you where to email to request access. Or sometimes there is a public thread called something like "request access" and anytime someone posts a reply to that thread, an admin comes by and gives them access. But it looks to me like the thread-locking doesn't allow you to delegate to specific users - just lock Announcements or something so that only the admins can post. The calendar security (under the Admin tab) and the forum security are not related. ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Re: Locking Forum Threads I did confirm my initial understanding; forum admins can lock/close threads, but only forum admins can do this and they cannot open the threads to selected users. I also believe I made a misstatement in that the restrictions specified under the Premium menu tab do also apply to the forums regarding login access. ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |
