Hello
I am building my forum and will be launching Jan -15-07.
I need to be able to create a forum that only banned users can access.
I can't seem to get my head round this and thought of creating a usergroup but banned users can't log in after there banned!

Heres the scenario:
A user causes me to ban them and I don't want them to be able to see anything but the forum I have called "The Stocks" They can view/post here and all the other users can see this forum and view/post. I just need the banned user to be able to log in and only be able to see/post/view "The Stock"

Hope this is enough to get more than a clue from you guys.

Blurb:
I am really pleased with VBulletin and so are my beta testers. Quality software and well worth paying for. Just wish I was better at it!

As soon as you put them in a Usergroup that is a banned usergroup, then they will not be able to access the forum anymore.

You could do what you want by moving them to a "normal" usergroup, that has only permissions to view the specified forum.

Yes, I suspect this is the way forward.....
If I could figure that out....I am sure I will in time. Only owned VB for 4 days of available configuring!
