Hi, sorry to be a pain, I have my own little forum but this is
all new to me
I want my board to only be read by actual members when they are
logged on, ie Guests cannot read anything.
I have clicked 'Admin' and got in to 'Manage Permissions' So I
am now on 'Permissions for Profile: "Default"
But please, if you don't mind could you tell me click by click
what I need to do? It's all really scary to me I know this
is basic stuff to you lovely people I imagine but it's HUGE to
me support
Thanks in advance.

Let's say you have a Category called "Start Here"
And under that Category, you have a 'board' called "Welcome"
To set the board "Welcome" so visitor's can read/see anything...
Admin>Boards>Select 'modify' for the 'Welcome board'
Leave 'Permissions' alone.. instead, just below that is a series
of check boxes.
Simply check and un-check who can see this board.
If you only want registered people to see a board, simply
un-check 'Guest'
A 'Regular' member is one that has registered, all other member
types are based on the number of posts.
You'll have to do that for every board you wish to hide/make
private.
I'd suggest you keep at least one board visible, with a post
about your content so people that come by have an idea what your
doing.
Good luck!
