Manual:
Password protection for boards and icons for boards/categories can be set on the
"More options for Boards/Categories" page accessable from the admin-center,
section "Forum Controls".
Password protection:
A lock (open or closed) next to the boardname on the boardindex indicates that this board is protected. If a user clicks on the boardname he/she will be asked for the password. If the correct password is entered, the board will be unlocked, indicated by an open lock. The user can now view/post on this board. The board is be unlock till the user logs off YaBB. There's not option to log off a specific board. Guest are not allowed to log in protected boards. This COULD be added, but makes it more complicated. Tell me if you REALLY NEED this feature. Icons for Boards/Categories:
Should be obvious
Icons must be placed in the /YaBBImages dir.
Version History:
0.1: First private release
0.2: Bug fixed: Direct URL to Post new thread on a protected board didn't ask for the password
Small cosmetic change of icon placement
0.3: Cookie management impleted
0.4: Securiy hole fixed (thanks to DaveB!): Password was stored in cookie UNencrypted
0.5: Getting closer to 1.0
Another security hole fixed: Cookie was set to never expire. If a user forgets to logout, the cookie never gets deleted (i.e. never expires). Now, cookie expiration is set to the default value.

Password field is "censored" now (with "*")

- Category icon is set to "nothing" after deleting it
- Layout: No space before the Board/category without an icon set anymore
