YourWebApps.com Forum - Re: I'm not sure what your last sentence means

Admin is the person who administers the DiscApp. Admins do not approve registrations because one registration is good for use on all the DiscApps, not just one DiscApp.

After someone is registered, an admin can set permissions on a registered account for their DiscApp.

    Another question relates to "leasing" a discussion board. I understand the ads are removed when the fee is paid to lease the discussion board. Can we then place our own Google ads on the board? Also, ... more

      You have to periodically go to the Admin page and check to see if there are any pending posts. The daily update email would also contain a list of the posts.

        Blocking the IP address would still allow the person to read. Blocking the IP address will also prevent anyone else from that ISP from posting.

        Blocking a single IP address won't block all of the users of an ISP, just whoever uses that address. You can block a range of IP addresses by entering the address prefix.

        To completely block someone from seeing the posts, you need to upgrade to Premium status.

        Who is "admin"? Who does they refer to? How do I approve the registrations? Where do I go to approve them? Or can anyone register & post & read without my approval?
