Hello:

I have been searching around for something that meets my needs and I haven't even found anything close to it... I would think it would be pretty simple to do, but I really know nothing about asp... I would imagine this could be done with a simple rewrite of a couple lines in the default page, or a couple pages anyways...

What I need is this: My forum is a restricted access forum for specific people only. I do not want the public to be able to see it or register an account for it. This part is simple, set all the forums to members only - invisible. Here comes the hard part. I don't want people to be able to openly register, but I want specific people whom I have contacted to be able to register. If I turn off the ability to register an account, these selected people can't open an account and I would have to go in and turn registrations on while I wait for the person to sign up, or make their account myself.... I want all evidence of registering for the forum to be removed, with a hidden signup page where I can monitor the registrations to ensure that the person is actually supposed to have an account...

Can I do this by simply removing some code in default.asp, such as the register link in the main navigation menu....? What needs to be done? Is there a simple mod out there that will give me this option in the admin panel? I think it would be a great feature to add...

Thanks for reading my post, I appreciate any comments/suggestions you may have!

-Mike.

you could put a simple check for a password that you send to those folks on both policy and register.asp. idea is to create a popup box to enter the registration code that then writes to a cookie. policy and register would then first check for that registration code in the cookie before continuing.
