    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is a way to create an invite only message base. Without changing a users access level. The sort of thing I want to do is
    create a guys only chat.

    Yes you can set the list, read and post ACS strings for the message base you want to limit users to.

    I would assign a flag against users you want to have access to the message
    base e.g.

    [snip]

    Fx - This command is used to check if a user has a certain flag
    toggled ON in their FIRST set of flags. Where X is the
    flag which the user must have in order to pass. For
    example: FA will require the user to have user access flag
    A in flag set 1 in order to pass.

    (s20fa)|(s255) User must have a security level of 20 with flag A
    toggled on, *OR* have a security level of 255 or
    higher.

    [snip]

    or if you wanted to be really specific you could allow access by unique user
    ID

    [snip]


    Ux - This command is used to check a user's permanent user
    number, where X is the number of the permanent index the
    user must match. For example: U1 would require the user
    to have the permanent user index of 1. Each user's
    permanent index is listed in the user editor, and no two
    users will ever have the same permanent index number.

    [snip]

    e.g. s30|u71 - User with unique ID of 71 or those with a security
    level of 30 or higher may have access

    Hope that helps.

    Best, Paul

    you can do it with with AR access flags.... for males use acs M a females F
    and you can toggle it -D or -F for menus sets 1 or 2 and turn on + or of off
    -

    hope this gives you some ideas. the old docs have info to check out and
    perhaps the wiki has more
