why yes they can. i only have one forum viewable for guests, but they can search a user name and see posts in all the forums...i don't like that. if i made all the forums invisible the board can still be searched. am i missing a fix for this? razzberry patch |

Strip their view access for all other forums except the only you allowed to guess to see into. |

I'd like the facility to disable guests from using the search, I think it should be a member only feature anyway. It could maybe be linked to disabling them from viewing profiles. Edited by Amanda, Jan 13 2009, 05:08 AM.

i have stripped the ability of guests to view any forum other than "introductions", they can still search by user name and view/read posts from other forums |

On the other forums, do you have "View" on for guests? "View" is different from "Read" so try turning the "View" option off and see what happens.

nope the other forums have nothing clicked for guests, they can only view, read, post in the introduction forum. they can't even see the other forums. i need to test the portal as well, it may connect straight to the hidden forums via latests posts. the portal shows the latest post, but when clicked it takes ya to the login page

Another thing you could check is that in the ACP go to User and Groups and click on Groups then click on Guest and make sure that you have NO ticked against guest being able to view the memberlist |

I don't know if this transfers to zeta but I had the same problem with invisionfree. Google will index every thread available to a default member and it can be viewed in html format. If it is the same problem make a dummy member group that is the default group. Have them self promote into a new group after one or two posts. Don't make any forum you don't want guests to see viewable to the new default member group. I thought search wasn't working on zeta? |

Search is only not working on I believe larger or converted boards - It's working on mine and a few others than I have been on recently |

i guess the only way to stop "guests" from searching is to bar them from viewing the board entirely. kind of defeats the purpose of having an introduction area. |

Unless you ONLY have the introduction area viewable by guest and have no ticks whatsoever in the other areas - I have no problems with mine I have some areas where guests can view so they know the actual forum exists but cannot read posts in those forums and some where they can view but cannot post. They cannot view the memberlist or get into the Staff Area and cannot even see the password protected forums |

Just did and can only see the topics where the reading permissions are enabled for a guest. Can not see anything not enabled which on our forum is a lot. |
