Hi,
So, basically you want a private forum (member-only), which may become a public one later, right?
No, but it is not important.

Fireman Grumpy has set up the forum structure that we needed and has access now sorted out as per earlier discussion thread regarding permissions on parent and sub folders.

For this initial private forum, you need an email feature to email all members - this is fine. We can add this feature easily.
I'll ask the group about this before providing a definitive answer but in principle that would be utterly superb.

You are worried about getting lots of emails. I think it's a misunderstanding. There are no emails as it is a web forum. Most users will just go to the forum to read and post. There are no emails. But some users may like to read the forum via email, Nabble has an option to subscribe to a forum and receive all posts by email. But that is optional.

Thank you for clearing that up. Total misunderstanding :-)
