What is TCPA...
the thing you are against!

[nighthawk]

go to administration panel -> forum adnim -> permissions, select forum, hit "look up...", and then it is the best to go to advanced mode. I think you from here you could do it on your own, just set REG for registered users, or PRIVATE for some special groups of users

You could use .htaccess, but then users would have to re-authethicate
