I'm looking for an ASP forum that has the following features:
-Ability to implement "List Permissions". This means that an unregistered guest user can view forum categories, forums beneath the categories, and forum topics under each forum, but not able to read the texts within those topics. I want unregistered users to be able to "see" all the topics in a forum, but when they click on a topic, they are required to login, this is opposed to users being forced to login when they click a forum. I want the public to see the forum topics under each forum. This can either be a special permission, or a modification on the "read" permission.
-Visual Confirmation for guests. For my public forums, I would like guests to be able to post unregistered, however they need to enter a visual confirmation to prevent spam bots.
-Visual Confirmation for registration. This is a must. I do not want bots to be able to register.
Collapsible Forum Categories. I will have 12 forum categories on my site. Beneath each category will be 4-5 forums. This is a huge list of forums. I would like a user to see the 12 forum categories in a collapsed state on the main page. Click a category, then have it "expand" to show the forums beneath the category.
All of these requests are available in PHPBB and VBulletin. I am willing to make the switch to ASP.NET, but am looking for the same type of features. If I can find a good forum in ASP.NET with those features, I'll make the switch.
If you do not have any of those features, are you willing to implement them for hire? If so, how much would it cost to hire your site to program them in?
THanks!
