Well, if you just have a "few" non-serious forums you can use the group manager linked from the forum's front page to take away permissions from that forum from all registered and anonymous user marks. And then only add members who can view the relevant forums. If you have more then 2 forums like this, I'd suggest creating a group for this purpose.

Thanks for the speedy response, Ilia. It's much appreciated.

I'm still pretty new to this, but I think I'll give it a try.

I'll need to set up a group, I think. Even though I only have one forum like this, I don't even want people who have registered to be able to access this forum until they've had a few days to browse the serious stuff and see that we're not just clowns.

So, I'd need to create a group, let's call it "Elevated". I assume I'd need "registered and anonymous user masks" switched on too.

How do I switch the membership status of a member though? How can I take them from regular member to "Elevated"?

This sounds OK in principle, but I think I'm gonna be getting myself confused. Thanks for the help so far, though
