    I'm installing a forum on my membership site. Where's the best place to install so only members can access it? Inside the amember folder or somewhere else?

    You need to place protected content (ie. your forum) in a specified folder but not within the amember folder itself. The amember folder contains the guts of amember. With your amember installation, you'll designate the folder which is to be protected and will not be able to be accessed unless users complete the amember signup/login.

    Thanks, I've done that and installed the forum and the phpBB2 plugin. All seemed to work fine.

    But, I've just found that new members aren't being added to the forum? There are no errors, or anything wrong that I can see. Any ideas?

    Can't help with forum integration - no experience at all with that.

    Perhaps someone else can chime in?
