Initial masking upon registration

Hello my dears,

In order to make life easier for myself, I'm wondering if this can be done, and if it can, how it can. What I'm looking for is that upon registration to the board, the new member is given a choice between two masks (and not just automatically referred into the applicant mask). If he chooses one mask he is redirected to one part of the forum, and if he chooses the other he is redirected to another part. This possible at all?

Ta,
mdnss

Let's see, there are a few creative ways you could probably simulate what you want. I'm hoping I'm understand you correctly, but if I'm not then feel free to correct me. :)

1) You could make use of the Joinable Groups function. If I'm understanding you right, you want the person to choose between two aspects of the forum and only have one or the other. Well, with the Joinable Groups function you could make most of the forum blank by default and give instructions for them to pick a Joinable Group in their Preferences area. For more information on how to create and manage a Joinable Group, see here

2) However, if I'm misunderstanding you and you actually want these people to choose between two forum sections to go to every time they visit then here's another idea. You could place two redirect forums on the index, and then create the two categories for the forums you want. Make all the forums in these categories readable, but not viewable by any group. Then you can use the ACP to grab the URL to these categories, and redirect the redirect forums to those. This way sounds really confusing, but it makes sense in my head. D:

If you need further assistances or help in clarification of my points then don't be afraid to ask. :D
