How to make a login page?

[dbeau70]

How can I make my vbulletin so that only my members can view it. I would like it to have a login page when someone comes to my forum like how ubb is, and not have that "not cookied" thing at the bottom.

P.S. I am not asking how to remove the origional login form, just how to make the login on a different page so unregistered members cant even view the fourm.

Your best bet would be to customize your user groups. You can customize the unregistered/guest user group so they can't view your forums and/or they can't post.

thanks. I havent played around with anything except the options and templates, so I didnt know what the user groups really did.

In your Admin CP go to User Groups and Permissions >>> Modify >>> select Edit Unregistered/Not Logged In and you will be given a list of options to choose. From there, you can make it so that the only thing they will be able to see is the main forum home page listing the individual forums.
