I did what it says here, and i went to the permissions page. But there is no option there for me to change my site to private! Help! 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Make sure you have the proper privileges to make those changes. Only Administrators or Creator can change site permission levels.

1. Click on Settings
2. Click on Permissions tab
3. Click on I want to change these settings
4. Click on members only
5. Click Next
6. Click Make changes now

Your site will now be private. Only the users that are already registered on your site will see the site. Any new members will have to join when you make the site permissions to public, allow to them to join, and set the site permissions back to private.

"i am the creator. (I posted the first thread)"
There are no words in the permission's settings that say "Make Site Private". As a matter of fact, the word private is not used at all there. It is confusing. Clicking on "Members Only" option will make your site private. Follow the instructions above and your site will become a private site.
