Title: Restrict posting to one board only
Post by: Valkrider on July 07, 2012, 11:46:43 AM
Sorry for this newbie question but I have spent hours trying to get this to do what I want.

I use V1 years ago and am now setting up a new forum on V2.0.2

I have 20 odd board in the forum. One of the boards I would like just one person to be allowed to post topics to and everyone else to have read only access to this board.

I have looked in the manual and done a search but I can't find anything related to what I want (unless I am using the wrong terminology for the search). I suspect this is possible but playing around with the Board Permissions I just can't get it working.

Could someone please give me an idiots guide on how to do this?

TIA

Look for:

Thanks but that is what I have been trying to do and I can't get it to work.

Eventually resolved this on my own.

Doesn't seem to be logical (not to me anyway) how this works but got it in the end.
