no one but Administrators can login while the forum is in Maintenance Mode.
They can go to the url, and will show online in Who's Online, but can not login to the forum.

er you didnt post your forums url btw

Really? I thought that should work....but when I checked to see where they were...it said sending messages and, so forth.
So just setting in maintenance mode will work?

yes that works.   You can make a test account at a lower level and try logging in.. it wont let you.

Some are probably search engine spiders (google/yahoo/etc) indexing your site..  you'll see it say they are doing various things even though its not possible for them to do so.
