I have installed s2member and tested the restriction access and found that it is not working. This post here
http://www.creditwritedowns.com/2012/01/test.html is supposed to have level 3 access and yet I can see it everywhere on my site and WordTwit even tweeted it to my followers. Something is seriously wrong with my setup but I have no idea what.

Have you tried
Alternative Views Protection?
You can find them under
WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative View Protection ( please read ).
Check this video for more info:

I have done that and it does a good job of restricting access in RSS feeds and the like. But the posts are visible in the homepage which is not what I want. Until I did the Alternative View restriction, the post content was also freely accessible to non-members and members alike. There must be something wrong with my configuration. Right now I am setting up a whole new website for content as an alternative if I can't get this sorted because I need the content up ASAP.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

I think I am getting there with it. I added the Nav Menus restriction and the Posts disappeared from view. So I think I have this sorted. Only by adding the Nav Menus restriction will it work. I had thought this was to restrict Member content in Navigation Menus but I see now that the signup link in that menu is still there while the post has disappeared off the front page.
Eduan, thanks again.
