Hi Ryan

Wanted to know if somewhere in the future you can create a type of forum that will show up on the main page, but once a guest wants to drill down further into a forum, that he must be registered.  In other words, I would like to see this forum name on the main page, but from there the guest must register to participate.  Sort of like a teaser.

Thanks for all the hard work - the forums rock!

Hi Eddie,

This has been requested a couple of times since the 3.0 release. I think the general consensus is this is how it should work. I'll look into this for 3.5 and i'm confident this approach will be used from 3.5 onwards

I hope you still can have completly hidden forums, e.g. forums for only the moderators and such. For some user-groups it can be confusing to see an "Internal Support Forum" or similar.

Just my .02£

Hi Christian,

This will indeed be optional when adding or editing a forum

Thanks for your input - greatly appreicated - please do feel free to post your comments for any suggestions or feature requests. It's always very helpful to get a couple of opinions when adding items to the todo list. I should have a list of changes that will be provided with 3.5 available soon. I'll certainly post this on the forums for feedback,

Thanks Ryan

MUCH appreciated!!!  I do understand it the way you do - it will just be a new type of forum that is locked for viewing but will show up on the front page.

Thanks again!

Pleasure Eddie, this is a very nice suggestion and will certainly be part of the 3.5 release
