Hello Wayne Luke. Wanted to let you know that I gave setting up a "Publicly Joinable Usergroup" a try today...and so far I think all looks well. Will see if the forum membership finds any...

Thanks again for the help Wayne Luke. I'll give it a try.

One more thought/question please.

As mentioned...I would like to start some daily RSS feed threads...and I know some of my forum members will complain about them...since they feel that...

I'm in the process of reviewing a bunch of website files...and I'm looking at the config.php file...and specifically I'm looking at the config special users area where specific userid's are entered for...

Good deal Wayne Luke. I thought maybe it would be something like that...but wanted to check first to see if there was an AdminCP way first before jumping in. Knowing the correct template to modify is...
