surfy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I am well aware of their reasons for the temporary lockdown as I have been in contact with the head of that account myself recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Like I said, there was a reason for the temporary lockdown on the site you mentioned. Personally I find it preferable that at least a small section of forums is publicly viewable. If however there is a security reason that you wish to lockdown your site for then contact a member of staff with a login and password for your site. I don't like it personally as we have to deal with several thousand accounts and thats alot of passwords to remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
