Hi Gábor

As Ralf said, to set up a private forum you need to do it via a Support Request.

[i] how this setting up of a private forum fuctions[/i]
Support Request

[i] and how can one invite people to join[/i]
the owner will have a list in which he can add members. For this he only needs a profile number.
The invitation must be done before that, once the member has accepted it, via profile message.
Advertising in public forums for private forums isn't allowed.

[i]and how one can get an invitation[/i]
The owner is the one who can invite.

[i]and how can this invitation be accepted?[/i]
Well, if I send to you a profile message you will be able to see my address and will be able to answer and accept or not.

[i]Would any site admin be so kind as to let me get an insight into this issue? [/i]

Is it clearer now? The number of members has a limit, I think it's 20.

Hi all,
Platinum members can ask for a private forum to be set up, using a Support Request. The purpose of a private forum is to be able to discuss topics which you don't want to discuss among the community at large. For example, we're using private forums as a communication platform for project teams.

Thanks for clarifying this for all of us Ralf. And thanks to Heinrich and Sara for replying to this post.

I think a private forum on Proz.com would be more convenient for team members (I am currently setting up a team) to communicate. Besides I believe since members are using the public ones every day, they would find it easy to use a private forum here on this site other than a new one on my site.

It seems not a lot of people know about this private forum function. ;)

Private Forum | Support Request is the correct way

I know that my Proz.com team (Francisment) has a private forum that we use to communicate on team issues.

As I am not our team leader/moderator, I don't know exactly how this was set up, though.

I've been wondering for days how I can use private forum? If there are special requirements, what are they?

I've submitted a support request but no reply yet.

Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.;)
