Private forum on Blogger

mhudsora
I am using nabble on my blogger for a forum.  I have about 30 other people on the forum which I want to be able to see and post on the forum.  Is there any way I can allow them to see the forum without them signing up for nabble and without making the nabble forum public?
Thanks

To stop the world seeing your forum you need to change the default permissions (OPTIONS > USERS > CHANGE PERMISSIONS) to remove the ability of anyone to view. All people then see of your forum is a Login screen.

Obviously, there needs to be some way to distinguish the followers of your blog from the rest of the world. To do that they need to register. You can then assign those who register to any group you like with whatever permissions you give those groups.
