Make ElkArte forums private.
Just got fresh install and was going through settings and such but didn't find anywhere how to make everything private. Private so that one need to login to see something else but login form. No boards no content before user logs in.
Is this possible from the settings or do this need to be done by other means?
Otherwise all is fine and dandy!
Thanks!

I think you can set that in board settings.

Oh. One more thing have to ask, since with search found only couple years old thread about the crawlers and such ..
If whole forum is not accessible by guests are crawlers automatically stopped from snooping around?

Crawlers will have access to what guests have.
The fact the forum is not accessible will not stop them to try to access it. That's totally out of the control of the software.
