Well.. first qustions is making me feel stupid, but what is the difference between cmps and homepage? Is cmps just advanced settings for the homepage?

2nd...
I have a closed/private board and want to install the homepage. I need assurance that only my registered members will be able to view it (how the forums are set up now (http://www.therabblerousers.com)), and guests will be taken to the register screen.

I love the look of it and really am needing to incorporate some things but it does need to be in a closed board manner.

Thanks!

cmps is a more user friendly version of homepage. It is much easier to add content and hacks to with a little less coding involved on your side.

I have private forums on my board as well. You have options on what boards to displayor not to display in the cmps admin cp.. as well as it uses vb's permission system so even if they could get a link to the private board without being in a user group with access they would get a you don't have access error..

I dont even want the homepage/members/calendar to display. All forums are private. But I think what you're saying is ok because of permissions.

thanks!

If you turn off the view boards to anyone that is not a registered user.. no one will be able to see it that don't have a log in..
