Solved Blocking certain posts from certain users

We've had discussions on this kind of question before. It's not really a function of Kunena to limit what people can post because of their age and, as far as I know, there's no "add-on" to achieve this (unless you write something yourself), but there are ways that you can control access to, and posting rights within, your forum based on whatever criteria you want to use.
The first place I suggest that you look is User age detect and redirect .
What you could do (assuming that you have asked people the question "Are you old enough?" to begin with) is to create certain categories that are not appropriate for children and use Joomla ACL permissions on those categories, assign those permissions to your adult members and, with this added security in place, children would not be able to view and/or post in those categories. It's fairly straightforward and Kunena has the means to control who can view, who can post and who can reply to topics in restricted categories.
I hope this helps.

The answer is not that difficult but the answer really depends on the question. I'm just making sure that I fully understand your question and what it is that you want to do.
Actually, it can be done automatically; it's just a matter of setting an option in the new user registration "policy" within Joomla - although it may depend on which version of Joomla you're currently using.maspegren wrote: This can't be done automatically can it? Currently each registered user is set to the "registered" access level automatically as soon as they register.

1) You allow underage people to register at your website: true or false?
2) You allow allow underage people to view certain categories but not other categories: true or false?
Community Builder has a feature (if I remember right - it's been a couple of years since I last looked at the product) that you can purchase called CB Subs. With this product you can add some added permissions to the users who join your website. I have a feeling (and I could be wrong) that tweaking the Kunena - Community Builder integration plugin to use CB's access methodology, it may be possible that CB works with Joomla's ACL permissions settings; this is probably a question that you should ask at Joomlapolis.
But there are other ways that you can achieve a solution without relying on CB to do the work for you. It's probably easier to talk this issue through, one on one, if you would prefer to take this discussion off-line and we can talk it over. The solution is actually quite straightforward but describing (within a Q&A forum context like this one) how it's done is a bit "tricky", if you get my meaning.
The short answer to this question is that you cannot block access to certain posts (i.e. messages posted within a topic) - for that is the subject of this topic - but you can restrict access to categories of topics.maspegren wrote: I am looking for a way to block all users under a certain age from certain forum posts.

I submitted a question to the Joomapolis forum about CBSubs, hopefully I'll hear something back this week.
Talking over a solution is fine. I am unable to do Skype though since I do not have a camera or a microphone on my computer. How would you like to continue.

Skype is the only way I operate. It's a bit difficult to do without you having a microphone but, as long as you're a fast typist, I can talk, you can listen and reply as quickly as you can.maspegren wrote: Talking over a solution is fine.

It's my guess that it would take about an hour to talk over, for me to give you the general direction, and for you to apply the solution. Contact me by email (my email address is on the team page ). That's how I would suggest we proceed.
