Newbie. First forum. Much user time. Usually on the edge -- leading or trailing, not saying'.
I installed phpBB for my new forum. No point in linking to it, since it has been disabled.
In the meanwhile, I recognize that phpBB has been around for so long, I thought I
would look into something more up to date. Hence, here I am.
When I finish with host support today, I should have a clean slate.
BTW, I was having some problems with permissions with phpBB.
Here's the thing: I am doing an invitation-only discussion panel. Thinking of it as a
virtual leadership conference, without leaving the desk or paying for the
conference room. There will be only 60 of us, and everyone will be a moderator,
so to speak, but more likely called "participant," or even "panelist," except, not
quite a panelist, because each is an expert in their field. The experts will post a
comment, and only the other experts will reply. Does that paint the picture?
Well, wouldn't it be nice to have configurations that seem just right for the purpose?
For example, there has to be some kind of registration or log in, but if someone wants
to observe, and the posting membership is restricted, wouldn't it be kind of
insulting to have a useless log-in on the screen?
That is one thought.
I will integrate this forum with a blogging function.
Not much to show and tell at this point. Here's one link just so as to
not be completely anonymous:

Any suggestions, please, as to how to proceed? Hosting support turns out to be
not the best solution -- my concerns are too specialized.
Very much I thank you.
