Guests can see topics which have been hidden by staff when they click on List a member's posts. I'm guessing this shouldn't be happening. If you don't know what I'm talking about then please click below for an example: http://s1.zetaboards.com/rpgcreation/search/2/?c=3&mid=446458&month=2&year=2009 The topic "Global Moderation Tryouts" is hidden and is in the Queue of the category it's in. As you can see, guests can still see the topic/post when doing this search. When you click on "View full topic", the board says "No topic found". Something wrong there. |

Tested, and he's right. But only for topics. Somehow. I did few tests. I made a hidden topic and it was visible for guests. Then I made a hidden post in one of another (not hidden) topic, and it wasn 't visible. Then replied that first hidden topic, and both of my posts were visible. Looks like seriuos bug, hidden topics and all its content is visible. That bug was fixed, when we merged ZB with IF but looks, it wasn't fixed fully. |

I tried doing this on a board I am staff on( I logged out of my account for the test) and couldn't replicate the problem. I suggest submitting a support ticket as it seems like this is something support staff will have to help you with via tickets. In the meantime, I suggest not bringing any attention to this issue on your board till it can get fixed to reduce the chances of people seeing things they aren't supposed to. |

I also noticed that guest was viewing a forum which is not open to all of the registered users we have when I was looking at the active user list. How can this be? I checked and guests don't have any rights to see any of the forums.. How could this person not registered to the board all see this hidden forum? Are they only seeing the forum titles but also the posts? Guest seeing our hidden topics would be a catastrophe for us.. My board: http://s13.zetaboards.com/Highlanders/ |

Check the Permissions for the forum in question if there is a tick in VIEW against guests for that forum it would only show them that the forum existed they would only see the title of the last thread in the section but if they try to go any further they would be told that they need to log in. They would not be able to see all the thread titles, they would only see the one which was replied to last. Edit I have just been to your forum and cannot actually see anything at all apart from the log in screen I can see none of the forums at all. Also check the settings you have for the Guest Group ACP > USERS AND GROUPS > GROUPS > click on members and make sure you have a no against the box for View Member Profiles - If it is selected as Yes this would give guest the ability to view member posts from the members profile Remember also that if a member was in that area and then logged out they would show up as a "guest" Sometimes those who appear as guests are your member prior to logging in or after they have logged out |

* Admin CP * → Groups * → Editing Group: Guests View board Yes Use offline board No View member profiles No View topics created by other members No Posting Permissions Post new topics No Post in own topics No Post in others' topics No I hope that it's like you say that it is only people who have logged off while viewing that forum. If I change the members ability view member profiles to no doesn't that only make it impossible for members to see each others profiles? |

It would do if you change the permissions for the Members group - If you only have the ability not to view the memberlist set up for the Guest group, it will not affect the members ability to see the memberlist and profiles. If you set it off for members they will not be able to use the Memberlist in order to find a member to use PM or Email I can confirm that when I go to your forum, nothing works - I cannot click on Memberlist, Search, Calendar, Portal or even FAQ as it just returns me to the log in screen |
