Hi all
I am considering using nabble as a private, members only with sub forums, forum and a public anyone can post forum.

This is for a very active association that has it's own web site and I would like to embed this in the web site which I know can be done.

I have had a play with a temporary forum and I kinda like what I see.
I have also had a dig around to find answers to a lot of the questions I have but I am still left with a few and would be gratefull for any pointers

1) forum access functionliaity
How do you assign roles to members for access.
i.e. in the members only forum (which will probably be a category) I want an all members forum and I want a moderators only forum. bothe will have sub forums.

2) mailing.
I want to be able to easily eMail all moderators and I want to easily be able to eMail all members for important announcements but I can find no options to be able to do this.
I also do NOT want this forum to be a mailing list. It's for online access only. Is this possible?

3) moderation.
Is moderation intuitive? What's your opinion please?

Thanks for reading

James
