Hey:

Here's my problem. My Esperanto group has just set up a forum, in which there are serious, Esperanto-based forums and threads, and off-topic forums that quickly descend to puerile talk and laughing.

I want people to come in and only have access to the serious forums first, because I'm concerned that if a newcomer comes straight to our chat forums, they might not come back.

Other types of forum offer password protection, whereby you can only enter that particular forum with the aid of a password. The one on FUDforums is different because you can still read the content; you just need the password to post. This isn't what I need.

My thought was that I can create a special group of users which have access to all forums (the same as the default group PLUS the chat forums). Once users have been around for a while, they can ask me to change their status.

I've tried using the Group Permission System ... it doesn't appear to be working.

Please tell me how to do restrict viewing permission to these people. Please do so by explaining how exactly to do so, rather than just something like "You need to use the Group Permission System" etc. I've read the manual, and it doesn't help.

Thanks.
