I have a few members that I would like to restrict their posting to specific forums. But I want them to be able to access the forum while logged in so they can read but not post. Is this possible?

hi,
yes this is possible create a new usergroup and set the permissions as you wish to have them ...then if they try to post they get the "no permissions" screen kind of similair what happends here at vbulletin.com if we customers try to post in the announcements forum

Good grief! I have done this before!! Don't know why I didn't think of it in this need. I guess I was looking for a click-the-button quick solution. Thanks!Comment

Well, for some reason it's not functioning correctly. I setup a new usergroup and edited the forum permissions to restrict posting to a specific forum for that usergroup but when I test it I am able to post to that forum. Any idea what could be wrong?Comment

Is this the only usergroup the account is in? As a 'yes' can post overides a 'no' can't post.Comment

are you logged in as administrator ? an admin can post wherever he wants to ... i always make myself a "test" account with the default permissions then add this test account to the custom usergroup and then login with the testaccount and try to post ...Originally posted by CynthiaComment

I was posting through a test account. I think it was a secondary usergroup for the test account that was the problem. I removed that and now can't post. Thanks!!Comment

Dear sirs,
I would like to know how I can prevent a user from posting. I don't want to ban him, I just want him to be able to log in as a registered user but he will only be able to read...Tue 27 Mar '18, 9:20am
