Forum password lock?

[FightingDeed]

Heya, I'm currently in the process of setting up a multiple-clan forum, as it stands I need to know how to lock particular parts of my forum via password and if I can't if someone could provide me with a add-on which would allow me to.

All help is appreciated!
Thanks,
- Connor

No such feature. Nor do I see an addon for this. Though forum passwords are sort of a weird approach IMO. Normally you would just restrict access with usergroups.

I would have seen it as more of a convenient feature, when you have lots of members on a clan forum and don't have time to individually plop them into different created usergroups a simple forum password that can be changed at a press of a button. I'd have thought it's a simple enough thing just to add as it is?

It is possible with an addon. It's wouldn't be very complicated, but it does require some custom programming. You can post a request:
