Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Additional Privacy Option – Only Admins Can See The SiteI’d like to see one step further than this, which is not to take the whole site offline, but only the parts offline which are being worked on.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: What are the chances of getting an answer?Yep, this is exactly my observation.
It’s apparent that the user base was much smaller when the forums were conceived. Now the site is so huge there must be a thousand new entry/replies per day now. If your post is not answered in the first few hours it probably will never get answered, so it even helps to think about your time zones and when people able to answer might be online, and time your post accordingly.
The only way forward is to come up with a revamp of the forums. This could be incremental.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Help with configuring a private siteI can understand that after a half-day your post gets lost in the thousands of forum entries and has little hope of getting answered. The user base is much larger now than when the forum was conceived and it’s past time for an overhaul.
After a few days of looking through and trying many of the thousands of plugins available, so far I have found several of interest.

User Access Manager
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/user-access-manager/With the “User Access Manager”-plugin you can manage the access to your posts, pages and files. You only create a user group, put registered users to this and set up the rights for this group. From now on the post/page is only accessible and writable for the specified group. This plugin is useful if you need a member area or a private section at your blog or you want that other people can write at your blog but not everywhere.
