Topic: Quick question: Don't want registration?

Hey all -

Just installed PunBB and am thrilled. I'm a designer entangled in the web app world and am always knocked out by the cool tools you all develop.

Question is simple - I have a small forum that is private and behind a passworded directory. I really don't want my users to have to log in to the passworded directory - then login to the forum as well.

Once they are in the passworded directory I want them to quickly be able to access the BB.

Can I turn off the registration ability? I know there is a turn off registration option - but have a feeling that turns off the ability to register - not eliminate the option.

Let me know - and again - thanks.

Not sure if I get what you want to do, but if you want to remove the register link you can remove it from the code itself?

Sure, set all forums to allow guest posting and disable new registrations. Only things they'll have to do is give in their username/password when posting smile
