How can I show a page to other forum members without it being "Live" in my menu navigation. So joe public visiting my site cant access it but I can show others what I am trying to do?

Hi Dograt,
In my earlier example http://www.hmmm.myfreeola.com/instantpro-tables.html I created a new page - made it live but unchecked the option to have it shown in the main navigation.

That means normal visitors to your site won't see the 'test' page mentioned in the page navigation but people on this forum can view it if you give them the full address.

You can get to this option a couple of ways - the easiest is in the "Page Manager" where you will see a "Menu" check box.

^Hmmm...

It will be your site name /the page name.

Example.

http://www.yourdomainname.com/yourpagename.html

EDIT: Bear in mind the builder converts all page names into lower case. So "SM" in page name would be "sm" in the address.

Or click to preview your page and then copy the URL of the preview and paste it here taking out the 'view.php?page=' bit. This is probably a better way to do it as the URL is the page name minus all invalid characters, which could be tricky to work out with some page names and you can also update the page name without updating the URL.
For example: http://www.instantsitestest1.myfreeola.com/view.php?page=hidden_page.html. To see this go to:
