How can I turn forum archives off? I don't want unauthorized pearsons to be able to view my forum. As it is, anyone can view most of the forum by typing a/ behind forumer.com, like myforum.4.forumers.com/a/ .

Jacko · 11-04-2005, 03:46 PM

I don't believe this is possible, sorry.

Akhorahil · 11-05-2005, 03:22 AM

Then how come it's on only in some forums?

**awebb** · 11-05-2005, 12:02 PM

It should be on all forums. However, it is a new feature that we are implementing.

crimsyhs · 11-05-2005, 12:33 PM

omg, the forum looks so ugly that way, I have noticed that

and even if the board is offline, they can still see the page..

Hmm.. well.. it's not very nice feature for guilds/clans that have posted info that outsiders are not supposed to see.

We are sorry that you feel this way, but it is supposed to be a lo-fi version and not used as the main look of the forum. It is to read the plain text and is best used for users with a slow internet connection.

This was something that several members wanted and was implemented. We are constantly trying to improve Forumer.com and appreciate your feedback.

There are a lot of holes in archives.. almost everything can be seen, even if Limez himself turned a forum offline..

So this is a LOW-FI [or whatever] version of forumer???
http://forum.forumer.com/archives/

**awebb** · 11-05-2005, 02:55 PM

In a way, it is. vBulletin uses that feature for older forums to archive the topics. It isn't used as Low Fidelity.

For example, here is the Lo-Fi version of Fmods.com:

Well then. Can't you make it so that the normal premission masks apply to that lo-Fi forum?
If that's not possible then there should be an option for forum admins to turn that archive off.

I want some sections of my site off limits to guests (including the member list and profile data). Currently, I can't figure out how to do this. It seems like no matter what I do, the entire contents of my forums are available to guests by adding "/a/" to the end of my board's url.

What is the point of allowing the administrator to prevent guests from viewing the member list, if all the guest has to do is add "/a/" to the end of the url to obtain full access?

I'll bet there are some administrators who think they have restricted areas of there ipb sites. It seems to me that they actually don't.

Acually in the /a/ mode you can only see the forums, try it as a guest or as a regular member.

try this:

visit: http://elmazagangi3.4.forumer.com/

Try to view the member list. You'll get the message: "Sorry, but you do not have permission ..." The administrator has changed the settings so that guests cannot view the member list.

Now visit: http://elmazagangi3.4.forumer.com/a/

Scroll down to the very bottom, and click on "Forum Members." You'll find an alphabetical list of all the members and be able to view their profile info.
