Password protect Category?

[kamilla]

Hello, I just got my new board installed and I love it!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a password protected category and make that for invites only, while keeping the rest of the board open for all?
If not, will that be available in the future?

Thanks!!
Kamilla

Take a look at the Allowed User mod, it does it on a board by board basis though.

Hello David - sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Thanks for the link! That thread is 8+ pages long so I hope you don't mind me asking a quick question here:
I currently have the YaBB SE 1.5.0 version and was wondering if I need to download anything or if it's already available in this board? I don't want to password protect my whole board, just a single category.
In the 'Installed 'Mods' Settings and Options' I found: Groups Allowed to Post  
Members Allowed to Post  
Default Board to Post In

What would I have to do to create a category called 'webmasters only' and only give access to invited people?

Thanks again, Kamilla

First, upgrade to 1.5.1.  1.5.0 is not stable and is buggy.

Then you will have to use BoardMod to install the mod.
