Hi - I need to create a Private Forum where anyone can upload a resume, but only one person can get in to view them. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks - Maggie

workaround:

1) have a user called 'sendmeyourresume' (whatever)
2) have them PM this user the resume
3) you login as that user, read the PM (resume)
4) copy/paste it into the hidden forum that only you can read..

Another workaround:
1. Create the new forum for the resume uploads. Be sure to enable attachments for that forum. Also Enable Full Post Moderation for that forum.
2. Create a 2nd private forum that will house the resumes.
3. Whenever there is an upload to the first forum, you review/approve it, then immediately move it to the private forum.

Technically, the resume could be viewed in the few seconds it takes you to move the post, so just keep that in mind.

I wonder what'd happen if you moved the unapproved post to a new forum... Then you wouldn't have to worry about people seeing it in the primary forum wink

OR you could just leave it unapproved, then only mods/admin's can see it...
