Back again.
Thanks for the first codes,. they were very helpful.
This time I'm looking for a code that will disable or remove the 'New Thread' button on a specific board. Preferably for members and not staff, but all together will work also.
My site is a text&audio battle/ hip hop community site.
Where I want to install this code is in the battle area.
I need my members to start a 'NEW POLL' instead of a 'NEW THREAD'.
I'd rather them start a 'new poll' because that is going to be the voting process for the battle area.
As you probably already know, members rarely read site rules.
So even though I have the process that I would like them to follow listed in the rules, they haven't bothered to read them.
So, I figured 'exclude the NEW THREAD button and they will have no choice but to start a NEW POLL.
Is there a code out there for this situation?
Thanks for your help.

One more question,
What is the secret to getting a proboard in the search engine base? I cant even google the exact address of my page to get it to show up in the results. Also, Google or no other search engine sites can verify my forum. They all explain there was an error after I place the meta tag in my headers and go back to verify.
Your site popped up on the 1st page of google search.
So if ya don't mind, what is the secret?

I thought of a short list of phrases that would pertain to my site and posted them in my main footer, inside of a table.
I tried to create them in the sense of 1st person,{as in not 2nd person}Ex. 'Sell MY music, instead of 'sell YOUR music'.
I then copied that complete list in the exact order that it showed up on the bottom of my main page and pasted it into the my browsers toolbar. {Google}
My site still didn't show up.
Here's the list:

Free Rap Textcee Battles
Free HipHop Beats
Free Rap Beats
Sell my music
sell my rap music
sell my hip hop music
sell my hiphop music
sell my beat
sell my beats
sell my rap beats
sell my hiphop beats
sell my hip hop beats

I then googled the name of my site and the only thing that popped up was the post that I left on Soundclick while promoting my site.

My site is called 'No HaterVille Hip Hop Community"
Heres the link: www.nohaterville.proboards.com

Do you have any answers or suggestions for this matter?

Alright, for the new thread button you can disable members from starting new threads by going to: admin>modify board>select the board you want to change>create threads>only staff. You can also control poll creation in this manner as well.

There's no real secret to having your site added to search engines. Just go to the search engine you want to be added to and type in something like "add site". Then there's usually a process you go through to have your site added to the search engine. Plus the site will be added when their software (or crawlers) makes it to your site in a matter of time (not sure how long that is). There are also sites that will add your site to multiple search engines for free that you can look up. Again there's a process you have to go through to have your site added. I'll see if I can find some links for you to get started.

A Search To Get You Started

Also meta tags and adding text to your page to get specified search results for your site is a good idea, but not necessary. Search engines already have software that will take the text that is already there, and add it to applicable searches. Still what you're doing is a good idea. Also, just to forewarn you, even if you submit your URL using the above links, it will still take time until your site shows up in search engines as their software will still have to "crawl" your site.

I hope that this information helps, good luck, and let us know if you need anything else.
