I think that the person wants the members to be able to view the board normally. ;)

In Your ACP scroll down to Forum Sections for each section i.e. each forum or category there are option to chose who can and cannot view those areas

If you scroll down in that section on each individual area you find the preferences you can choose to allow guests to view only or view and read and if if you wish to post also.

You can also choose to have certain sections invisible to guest and if you need that make sure there are no ticks in the guest or validating areas.

Also at the top of the ACP if click on Board Preferences and then Security you will find the option to allow or disallow guests to view the board

Did you also go through the procedure for enabling guest to view the board and when you did the permission masks did you select both view and read for guests.

If you only select view they will only be able to see what sections are available ie give them a flavour of what the forum is about but if you want them to be able to read the topics you need to select read also.

It will also makes things much easier if you post the link to your forum in your profile - It often helps us to see what the problem may be

This could well be where your problem is as you have posted this in the Zetaboard Support section but your board url is invision - It does not appear to be a converted board as it does not divert to a Zetaboard address.

I am not so sure about the permission masks and how they work in invision - Perhaps someone on the staff could move this to invision support

It's not a permission mask issue. Permission masks are based on the forums, not the entire board.

Reasons for this occuring on IF:

- The Group has No set for Can View Board? via Manage User Groups. More likely than the one below.
- You may have a black line in your list of Banned IP addresses. Check for any, and remove them. This would also affect registered users including yourself, though.

If there is another reason, it's 1.20am, forgive me.
Moving to InvisionFree...someone remind me we need a big sign telling people to at least post their board links.

This question appears to be about InvisionFree, not ZetaBoards. It's now been moved to the appropriate InvisionFree support section. Thank you.
