Uh oh, old man needing help already.

OK, the old man is needing some help already.

Got the install done. Barely. Been a long time installing instead of just upgrading.

I called myself going through the doc files but couldn't find any tips on two things I like to do on a new install; is there a quick way to take the forum online/offline and is there a way to make the forum for registered members only (I did see a permissions tab)?

Sorry about asking ignorant questions but I just couldn't find the answers in the docs.

Oh, the site is:
SuperTalk.US

For the first one, look in server settings for "maintenance mode". It'll leave the forum online but prevent anyone accessing it. Is that good enough?

The Features & Options > General settings have an option to "Allow guests to browse the forum". If you deselect that, all that guests will see is the forum header and the login form.
