Hello! Iīve created a forum, set to private where only registered member can see what is the forum about and all its postings etc.. I also have created a forum where I posted the forum rules only and set in the permission mask that this forum can be viewed by guests. Thing is that this /mask forum is still only visible when you are logged in which is only as registered member possible. You canīt see it when youīre at the homepage. What did I wrong in the settings? Another question..... when I tried to log in here it said that my email address is blocked here and that I donīt have access. How is that possible as I was registered before with my email addy? Now I had to register new and create a new name but before that I had to create a new email account which I didnīt wanted to do. I really donīt need several email addies. Thanks for any help and suggestions. |

In order for guests to see a forum, you need to first make sure that you've let them view the board: Admin CP -> System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> "Force guests to log in before allowing access to the board?". Set this to No. Admin CP -> Users & Groups -> Manage User Groups -> Edit Guests. Make sure that "Can view board?" is set to Yes. If this is the case, and guests still can't see the forum, double check that you set the permission mask correctly. For Guests, Read should be checked; for all other permission masks, all the permissions should be blank. If you're still having trouble, please post a link to your board. As for your question regarding your email address, if you PM me with the former email address and username and I'll look into it. |
