Posts: 16 10-Jun-09 6:59 PM	Tags : None What exactly does that mean? I want to make some of my chat rooms not open to ALL public, only to our approved members. I don't want to have to have a Moderator in the chat room for our members though. How can I make our "private" chat rooms private, without making them invisible to all but selected members? We have over 1000+ members - I don't have time to go through and manually add approved members to the chat rooms! Can I add all of our already approved members to the Open Access without having to do so manually? Thanks for any help. Ayliea

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 11-Jun-09 8:22 PM Yuku Help	Oh dear. You have quite a few chat rooms there. I may need a list of what you want to do with which rooms. Do you want any fully public? What do you mean by your approved members? Your board is public. Do you want the chat rooms available to only members of the board?

But, as you see we have 5 other chat rooms. The first one is in the "Out in the Open" area, and it is the ONLY one that I want to be completely Public - anyone should be able to enter there, whether they are an approved member or not. The other four: Main AHC Chatroom, TTC & Sub-pg Chatroom, Parenting Chatroom, and Discussion Chatroom all need to be for approved members only. They can NOT be open to "all members" because Yuku automatically "Makes" anyone who posts in the Public area a member. So, as you can see I have a dilemma...I really need to protect our approved members, and we have a LOT of them! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 12-Jun-09 8:44 PM Yuku Help	Okay, so we won't have to touch 3 of the 7 rooms. I am looking at one of your forums (Shelter in the storm), this is an MBA forum. Am I understanding this correctly that you'd want to give members access to the chat room in that category, who have also access to that forum? And the same for all other categories?

Posts: 16 13-Jun-09 5:01 PM	Yes. In all actuality, the 4 chat rooms that need to be "Private" (or Moderated) just need to be available to all "Approved" members. They don't have to be specific for that "Area" - we just did that so that new members who are more recent in their grief will know which place to go where the veteran members who have moved forward won't be discussing issues that may be upsetting to them. So, really - if you can let me know how to add all approved members, I can do it - I am just looking for a way to do it that does not entail manually going into every single approved member and setting it by hand... Thank you very much for all of your help!

Posts: 16 14-Jun-09 7:40 AM	Thanks - I think maybe I have figured this out now. So I go to my Member Management, filter by members of my Main Private forum (all approved members have access to this forum, so hopefully it will grab every member that is an "approved" member - right?) and then select them all, go to edit and grant them all Open Access to the Chat rooms in question - correct? Okay that makes it much easier. Please let me know if that is not correct. Thank you SO much for your help!

There are times when people start adding names to it without looking to see that some were already in there. I've been one of those people.
