MyBB Community Forums

I want to allow my staff to view my forum while it is offline is there anyway to this? or any mods/plugins that will allow me to do this?

They'll need administrator access, ie: be in the administrator usergroup

I don't want to give all my staff ACP access though.

Give that a whack.

I tried that yet my staff still couldn't login to the board offline.

Yes, but when I put a group like Community Team in the box they still can't login.

Conor Calby: This site is offline as when I click on the link you provided there is a orange box at the top of the page that says:

Quote:This page (http://mybbsource.com/mods.php?act=view&id=110) is currently offline. You can continue to surf CloudFlare's snapshot of the site. We will keep checking in the background and, as soon as the site comes back, you will automatically be served the live version. Alternatively, you can retry the live version.

and when I click a link like register it says:

Quote:Website Offline, No Cached Version Available

Sorry but the site you are trying to access is currently offline. The most likely causes are the server is down for maintenance, there may be a network problem, or the site may be experiencing excessive load.

The site uses CloudFlare in order to help keep it online when the server is down by serving cached copies of pages where they are available. Unfortunately, a cached copy of the page you requested is not available, but you may be able to reach other cached pages on the site.

If you continue to receive this error after you believe the site is back online, you can retry a live version of the site. Or you may contact CloudFlare support.

Its up again now. I think it was an issue with cloudflare.
