The ideal mix of Public and Members-only accessible sections of the forum

[Science Monk]

Ron,
One of the things I liked about the old forum was that it had what I thought was the ideal mix of Public versus Members-only sections. I'd like to make some posts with photos, but I would like the photos to be viewable only by registered users, and not the general public, like it was on the old forum. Is there any way I can do this now?.....OR.....Can you change the settings of this new forum to make like the old forum was in this regard?

I agree. It would lend more credibility to the forum, I think. Ron, are you there?

AFAICS, only the Progress Gallery section is excluded from view for non-logged-in visitors. Direct links to the section are reminded that "Sorry, you are not authorized to view this page. Please try logging in".
Perhaps a new "Members Only" section could be created for that purpose, with the same permissions as the Progress Gallery section...

Hi,
Thanks for your patience during my vacation.

The old forum had Progress Galleries, Dark Side, and also the groups area, that were all members only. This forum has those. If anyone has a Group that needs to be more public or more private let me know.

Why? Don't you want more exposure to progress photos for people simply lurking around as guests?
