1 - my forum name is www.nodramamamas.myfreeforum.org 2 - I have searched the how to do it and found how to modify the permission of members to be able NOT to get into certain areas, but that doesn't help with my original problem. My question: I was curious if someone could tell me how to set my forum so that members can't just join, they have to FIRST be approved by admin before they can enter the group? Thank you!

1. You must give the (myfree/myfast/myfine)forum.org link to your forum. A link should be given to the problem if at all possible. Do this whether you think it is important or not. 2. Search on the forum and on howtodoit for your problem before posting. 90% of the posts we get have easily found answers if you search on a couple of key words from your post. If this is not the case report the keywords you searched on and we will make sure search works for the next person to try the same search terms. Each time someone doesn't bother to use the search, questions accumulate in the forum making it harder for people to actually find answers! as people searching will end up finding the question and not the answer. 3. Keep it to one support question per thread, if you have another question start a new topic. This will help others using "search" to find answers. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

I followed those rules, by editing my post. Thank you!
