| vBulletin has a feature called groups, where sections of forums can be set off that have their own moderators who control who is allowed in.
In some forums, it might set apart non-family-friendly portions of the forum, in others it might just be different cliques. |

| Ok, I see it now. Thanks.
As far as how it works, I could create a "magazine editors group" and only allow them access to the magazine boards. Which I'm off to do now that I know what it is LOL!
So, Tom and Sirdarksol and the rest of us working on the magazine will have a group listed in that section of our profiles now. At least, that's how I understand it at the moment. Off to test it!

Mike | That sounds right. I'm not actually part of groups on other forums, I have just seen them. |

| Ok, what Sirdarksol said originally is exactly what it is. If we wanted to create PUBLIC joinable user groups we could. I'm not sure I want that here as I don't see the benefits of something like that... However, I did create a new secondary usergroup called "Magazine Editors" for everyone that helps on the magazine.
Sirdarksol and Tom - do you guys still see the magazine boards on the forum home page such as October Issue, November Issue, etc? And can you navigate into those boards? |

| I see the section that tells the board that the magazine has been released, but not the one where we're working on the magazine. |

| Ok, cool thanks. Unless you're a moderator or magazine editor, you can't see those boards now. |
