Hello - I am a novice to say the least! and I have searched the forum for an answer, but to no avail.
I have purchased the "no code" version of the forum and I am currently implementing it on my website.
I have a couple of questions about expanding out content within the framework of the forum.
1/ For example, the current default landing page to the site is the forum list... if I wanted to change this to an introductory default page (yet still show it in the same .master framework, how can i do this?) - Currently I am using the FAQ.aspx as a "template" for my content, but it seems the code behind updates my page title to "FAQ" - this seems a bit clumsy, can i create blank pages in the same .MASTER without using FAQ.aspx as a template?
2/ Equally, my second question is... if I want to create new pages which are only available to logged in users, say USERSECRETNEWSONLY.aspx, how can i do this?
Sorry if these are silly questions and thanks in advance!
Chris

1. when you create a page using FAQ as a template, remove the "Inherits aspnetforum.FAQ" from the "<%@Page" directive
2. this is not possible, sorry

Thanks very much for your quick reply.
1. I have tried this, but when I remove the Inherits line from the page I get an error (xxxxxx is my subdirectory for my test site):
Unable to cast object of type 'ASP.xxxxxx_default_aspx' to type 'aspnetforum.ForumPage'.
FYI The first line of my ../xxxxxx/default.aspx page reads:
<%@ Page Explicit="false" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="AspNetForumMaster.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" Codebehind="faq.aspx.cs" Inherits="aspnetforum.faq" Title="X" %>
Any suggestions?
2. Thanks - Not possible in the "no code" version only? Or still not possible even if I upgrade to the "with code" version?
Thanks again.
Chris

Could anyone help?
Is this a school boy error, or something more substantial?

1. remove this: Inherits="aspnetforum.faq"
2. yes, if you buy the source codes, you can modify it so some pages are displayed for authenticated users only.

1. Sorry, probably wasn't clear, but I did remove this and got the error :
Unable to cast object of type 'ASP.xxxxxx_default_aspx' to type 'aspnetforum.ForumPage'.
... so need to know why removing this throws an error and how I can get around itm
2. great, how much to upgrade?

Tried this also, to no avail.
Is there anything which needs to be changed in the web.config?

I've looked into this and it happens because the forum masterpage tries to cast the content-page to 'aspnetforum.ForumPage' type, which actually makes sense.
I don't think this can be fixed without upgrading to the source code license.

Thanks very much.
If I purchase the code version would you be so kind as to advise me what I need to change?
I purchased non code 4.7... Around 6 months ago, what are the upgrade costs, also I notice 4.8 is available which has polling - can I upgrade versions at the same time?
Thanks!
