I believe I set up forums correctly but what I have seen is that Newly Registered Users can see the forums, they have to wait for admin approval before activated.
WHAT I WANT, is NRU can NOT see forums or anything until activation and approval. How can I set that up?
Greatly appreciate the help, love phpBB for sure, just have to learn it.

Re: Newly Registered Users
Set groupforum permission can see forums for the NRU to NEVER (and also for anything else you don't want them to see).
However, you mention "until activation" : that implies you don't want guests to see anything either.

On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Re: Newly Registered Users
If a Newly Registered User cannot see any fora then how can they make a post that needs approval?

You've got a valid point.david63 wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2020 12:32 pm If a Newly Registered User cannot see any fora then how can they make a post that needs approval?
But me thinks he means registration being approved (or to use other wording : activated).
probably a confusion between the NRU and "pending activation".

Re: Newly Registered Users
Correct I will get an email and a message on the board itself when someone new registers, i absolutely dont want them to have access to anything on the forum, not even see it till they become active, which i have that set to Admin approval. I believe when i changed NRU to select NEVER then it is how i want.
We have a website that non registered guests can view and send me messages from then the forums are strictly for members.

Re: Newly Registered Users
No - to do what you want you need to change the Guest group to never and the NRU to be able to see/post to whichever fora you want them to.saltymichael wrote: Sun Apr 05, 2020 12:52 pm I believe when i changed NRU to select NEVER then it is how i want.

Re: Newly Registered Users
one more thing, sorry...
is there a way when Guests and NRU can not see stats at bottom, meaning the usernames and such?
But others (members and admins) can see them
