As Aministrator, I created a forum with the security level set at "Members Only & Password". Now it seems that no one can post to this forum except me, even the Moderator I assigned to the forum. What am I doing wrong. When a user posts, it doesn't even ask for a password, it just says no you can't post to this forum.
Changed topic title...

With the Authourized Type set to "Members Only & Password" it means that only registered Members will be able to enter the forum. If they aren't registered, they will be asked for a password.
They won't be able to get to the posting screen unless they are a member or they have entered the password for the forum. Once they entered the correct password it won't ask for it again.

I do understand that, but my problem is that at the momemt, NO ONE except the Administrator is able to post to this forum. Is this normal? Isn't a registered user supposed to be able to post to this forum?

What do you they can't post?
Once they get to the forum.asp page they are able to post, there are no more restrictions.
Are you saying, they clicked the Reply to Topic link, typed in a message and hit the "Post Message" button and it gives an error that they can't post?
If so, what is the exact error? I would prefer if you copy and paste it here.
Also could you provide a link to your forums please.

I simply mean they can't post replies to topics.
A registered user clicks "Reply to Topic", the data entry screen appears, but when you hit "Post Message", you get the following:
There has been a problem!
You are not allowed to post in this forum !
Go back to correct the problem.
The link to the forum is: www.comp-sols.com/forum
Try the "Handouts" forum.
The Admin name hasn't been changed, since this is just a fake test for a real site to be set up later.

Ok, here's what you need to do to fix this.
In your inc_functions.asp file, look for the "ChkForumAccess()" function. In the function you will find the following code:'## code added 07/13/2000
case 7 '## members or password
if strDBNTUserName = "" then
select case Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("PRIVATE_" & rsStatus("F_SUBJECT"))
case rsStatus("F_PASSWORD_NEW")
chkForumAccess = true
case else
if Request("pass") = "" then
chkForumAccess = false
else
if Request("pass") <> rsStatus("F_PASSWORD_NEW") then
chkForumAccess = false
else
if strSetCookieToForum = 1 then
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Path = strCookieURL
end if
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("PRIVATE_" & rsStatus("F_SUBJECT")) = Request("pass")
chkForumAccess = true
end if
end if
end select
else
chkForumAccess = true
end if
'## end code added 07/13/2000 Add the code in red. That should fix it. Let me know if it works.

You're both Welcome. 
This should be moved to the DEV: Bug Reports Open forum.
