Password Protect Boards
Yoshi:
Hi Mishqa,
You can set a password for a board at Admin > Forum > Boards > (the board you wish to set a password for) > Modify (on the right).
Now regular members have to fill in that password when entering the board :)
Mishqa:
Okay I think I got it now, I can only provide one password to all? is there a way to hide certain post from the members who have the password to protected board? See I have consultants on my site and the board that is protected is for members who need to communicate with my consultants in a confidential way? Is that possible for a member to creat a topic and hide it from the other users on the board? Did I explain myself? :o

From what I've seen, yes.

No idea, you could use the Approving system to mark topics as unapproved and then hide them from the members.
Mishqa:
And how do I do that? :laugh:

First, go to Admin > Core Features > tick "Post Moderation" so the On switch is green. Save.
Go to Admin > Forum > Boards. Go to the board you have password protected. there should be a new switch that says something about approving topics, tick that.
Then, unapprove any topic in that board you don't want certain people to see.
