I have made most parts of the forum visible to registered users only with the acception of Announcements and Introduction Section.
The forum has been hammered lately by google sending the web hosting sky high, I have requested google crawl the forum less but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Hence it should resolve the issue by making portions of the forum visible to registered users only.
Most of you won't notice any difference. Any problems then let me know.

Just thought I'd point out the option of dropping a robots.txt file into the sites main directory on the server. robots.txt can direct where webspiders/robots from search engines go to on the site, where they can and cannot look etc.
Details can be found here (with how to links):

Thanks for that. I know about the robots file, but I was just being lazy with the easy option.
Hi Creative,
there is another way, it does loose some of the funky designes of the web-site, but I have tested, and it works, as read a message about it on the forum somewhere,
and just managed to find it, as Liz944 posted it on http://www.dyspraxicadults.org.uk/viewt ... ht=colours
as for searching, like finding Liz's post wasn't easy, I had to try remembering if it was a chat, before or after I joined the site! and then trying to find a secific word to go by, which in the end was the american/windows way of spelling colour!
btw Liz if you read this, it is nearly one of the first things I do after re-installing windows, is changing these settings! basically lost without it now! as so used to having a yellowy/green sort of background now!!
