Hey, sorry for the bother.

I was just wondering, is there any sort of BBcode or whatever it's called for protecting text so that only registered members can see the text within? I was looking through one forum, and there was some text in a box like this:
PROTECTED: Please register to see this.
Kind of like that. But instead of saying 'Code' it said 'Protected.' Can we do this here?

I want to know because I want to post a password for a download, but I want the password only seeable by Fun-Motion Forum members.

Thanks.

Short answer; No

Long answer; Sounds to be a plugin and looking at the almost completely unedited forums I don't think matthew has any plans on installing it.
I think, at the state the forums are in now, you can't make something private from non-members (weather it be a section of text for a post).
If you really need to password the download then the only way to do it is to get the members to PM you for the pass.

It's a mod.

You can do things like this if you have the members post on the thread, and you e-mail/PM them too.

Oops, I forgot about this...
Well, that's disappointing. But I guess PMing is an OK solution.

Thanks guys!
