personally, I am of the opinion that, if I can see it, I should be able to access it -- and I get pissed off with sites who show me something but then say "you need to do something special to get access to this"

Agreed.

Hi there,

I know some have issues with boards doing this, but I do have a good reason. I would like members to be able to see some of the boards but have to request access.

The reason is that a couple of the forums are for a particular ministry area, such as counsel or prayer, and how will people know that they're there if they can't see them? It is for good intentions and not because we want to irritate or annoy people, we just want to restrict access to those who really need to be in those particular forums, but at the same time it would be great if members knew they were actually there if they need to make use of them. (Hope that wasn't too confusing!!:) )

Is there maybe a way around this....

Thanks to anyone who can help

Look for the 'View Only Boards' mod.
