Hi 

I am starting a new blog, and I want to use this discussion board as something that is exclusive for my email subscribers. I have it on a separate page, but how do I use it so that they have to subscribe to my blog  email list? Not the subscription for the forum.  I want them to sign up to my blog newsletter and then have posting access on the board, before they sign up only access to reading the forum. 

Also... how come when I publish the page the menu topic that I created don't show up? Only the subscription box to the forum? 

Thanks!

Jacqueline
