Password Protect Boards
Mishqa:
Will the member who started the topic be able to see and respond tho the unapproved topic if I do that? So that the member and I can post back and forth with out anyone being able to see it.
See I would like to have a confidential conversations with certain members who decide to use this password protected board. I would love it if these guys can talk about "personal" stuff to consultants with out feeling uncomfortable about others in the psswrd protected board being able to read them as well. :laugh:
Arantor:
Well, if you want the whole consultants thing, password protected boards (unless it's one per person) won't really solve that for you.
Moderation will go so far (it will mean only moderators see all of them, while otherwise users only see their own) but it does mean people must not approve topics.
On the other end of the scale, SimpleDesk will achieve what you want (and be more rugged and reliable at it) but I suspect it's a lot more complicated than you want it to be.
FireDitto:
We'd like to be able to password protect boards from everyone - admin, global and regular mods.
How would we go about this?
Arantor:
Um, why?
The big thing, though, is that password protection is not really a measure of security, it's only as strong as the people who are being trusted not to give the password out. Experience suggests this is surprisingly low.
FireDitto:
Oh, it's not for anything major.
Admin A, Admin B and Admin C all work together, but we'd like to be able to exclude each other from mini-plot boards; eg
Board 1 is for Admin A and Admin B
Board 2 is for Admin A and Admin C
Board 3 is for Admin B and Admin C
We just want to easily make it difficult to view the boards, without having to screw around with membergroups and stuff. It'd just make life that little bit easier.
