We want to have a pulic section of the board where registered people and members can read and post and another section of the board where only people who have been defined as members can read and post. Is this possible with fireboard?

We've tried setting the members as authors and restricting sections to authors. Nothing works. Registered users can still see post on all forums.

I'm very frustrated and ready to dump fireboard and use something else entirely.

phpbb makes this very simple. Is that my only real option?
