Some questions on Forum types / membership:
- 1. Could someone please enlighten me (or point me to where I can be enlightened) on what the different Forum Auth Types mean?
eg. What are the differences between the "members only" options and the "allowed members" options?
- 2. When I try to click any of the buttons to modify the member list, it always changes the cursor to an hourglass and does nothing. If I try going to another page, it crashes my (IE4) browser?
Thanks for any assistance!

1.
Members only means any rgistered user of the boards, whereas allowed members means registered users who have been added to the list of allowed members for that forum.
2.
No idea, do you have a URL we can check ?

Ok - that makes sense. So what does "All Visitors" mean since it seems you must be registered to be able to contribute?

I was hoping that wouldn't be the response - Unfortunately I have no facility to make it available externally. I'm also quite hand-tied in that I'm in an environment where I can't change the browser settings to see if it's a problem related to them. I'm going to see if I can try it on IE5 to see if it's a problem with IE4.
Thanks for your response. |

All visitors mean, registered and un-registered members have access to the forum. They can go in and read the topics and posts. If you had it set to members only, non-members won't be able to read any of the topics or posts because they do not have access.
You're probably thinking that the Auth Type restricts who can post or not post. Not so. It restricts who can Read or Access the Forum.

Please note that I have now established that the momber list functionality does indeed cause problems specific to IE4 (it works fine in IE5).
Specifically, IE4 freezes in post.asp on the line indicated:
if (strAction == "Add")
{
pos = document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.length;
finished = false;
count = 0;
do //Add to destination
{
if (document.PostTopic.AuthUsersCombo.options[count].text == "")
{
finished = true;
continue;
}
if (document.PostTopic.AuthUsersCombo.options[count].selected)
{
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.length +=1;
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos].value = document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos-1].value;
'Freezes on next line!!!!
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos].text =
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos-1].text;
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos-1].value = document.PostTopic.AuthUsersCombo.options[count].value;
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos-1].text = document.PostTopic.AuthUsersCombo.options[count].text;
document.PostTopic.AuthUsers.options[pos-1].selected = true;
}
....
I'll have to look into this further, but I have seen this sort of functionality working using ASP on IE4, so it must be something peculiar about the specific way this has been coded for Snitz.
If anyone has some pointers, I'd appreciate it.
Catcha,
Kym.
