How to invite members to PRIVATE forum

[dianemacdonald]

I have just set up a Private forum with Registration not permitted from the Main Page. How do I invite members and send them a license key etc.? I can't find information anywhere that tells me how to do that! So far, I am a one member forum. LOL!

If you have registration disabled you can invite people via email.

To do this, go to Admin >> Forum Settings >> Login and Registration

Under "Registration Settings" you should see "Send Invite Key Email"

Thanks. I saw that, but I have no idea what that means. Do I put an email address there? Where does the invite key come from? Sorry, but this is all new to me.

Hello dianemacdonald

Yes you would enter their email address and once you "Send", they will receive an email containing a unique link allowing them to register.

Thank you! Now it makes sense! I had created the whole page complete with a custom page using HTML, then couldn't figure out how to get members! Lol!
