Forum URL: (private) We just had an uninvited new member post his rubbish on our small, private site. I deleted the posts from "Michael" and banned him, including IP address. A few weeks ago someone else created a profile, but didn't post.
I thought we had our site set so that I would receive notification if someone tried to join the site. It would then be up to me to allow them access or not. This doesn't seem to be the case. I looked under the security tab on my admin page, but didn't see anything I could set.
This is worrisome as we are a small, very private group, and there is personal info on the site.
What can I do to prevent this in the future?
Thanks! Lorrie

Admin > Settings > Forum Settings,
Login & Registration tab.
Look at the section named "Registration Settings."
Set "Restrict Registration" to yes if you want to approve all accounts before they can post.
If you type something in the "Restricted Registration Message" box, it's what they will see when they are attempting to register.

imaluckymom - I see you have the Guests Must Login option enabled. This creates a splash screen that hides the forum's content from non-members as well as preventing guests from posting. However this does not stop them from registering accounts to be participating members. You need to enable the Restrict Registration as bigballofyarn described above.
