New Board - Members Only
« on: February 21, 2018, 09:48:33 PM »
I went to post something tonight, and then decided I didn't want it in Google or necessarily want just everyone tripping over it out of the blue, so I'm going to try something Iv'e done with other forums.

I've started a Members Only Board. I changed the Member Groups so that you don't get your first "bean" until after your fifth post. Once you get a bean - you can access the Member's Board.

Google doesn't crawl it, so anything you say won't be indexed, and pictures won't show up in image search.

Try to use it sparingly. I'm going to police it a little bit. I've had problems in the past when I've done this about members just gravitating to it as the defacto board. We want to be ambassadors for preparedness here, though, so let's keep as much of what we do as possible in the light of day.

And remember - even though Google or random passersby can't see it, there's no real "security".

This sounds like a good idea.

Will it show up under Recent Topics section or will we have to go to the Forum page?

You tell me!

Seriously, I'm the worst one to ask about the user experience, because I see things differently.

It SHOULD work like any other board as long as you qualify to see it.

I always enter using http://seprepnet.com/forum/index.php?action=recent. Will posts to this board show up?

If you're not seeing the post that's in there, probably not.

Looks like we're 0 for 2 on it working.

Can someone give me some troubleshooting specifics? When you can see it, when you can't, etc?

It's there I found it. I saw it once then you added the member section then I didn't see it, but I guess that was just me overlooking it.

I default click "posts since your last visit" unless I'm looking for something or going to post a new thread. This thread showed up there for me. So for me it works ;)
