Allowing Guests to VIEW & READ the board only; I've tried everything but cant get it to work

Hi all

I am trying to allow guests to view some forums and read some others. I dont want guests to be able to view member signatures.

So I have:

Admin CP¨ Board Preferences¨ Security> Allow guests to view the board - radio button YES selected
Admin CP¨ Board Preferences¨ Profiles>Guests can view member signatures - radio button NO selected
Admin CP¨ Forum Access¨ Edit Permission Set Guest> I have the forums that I wish guests to VIEW & READ ticked

I cant think of any other setting that I need to change, most likely its staring me in the face but its driving nuts.

My guests still cannot see the board other than the welcome page and receive the following error:

You can not view this board
Error Code: 1003:87519

How can I allow guests to VIEW & READ the forum sections I wish them to.

Thank in advance.

Anthony

You have to adjust the preferences for each forum section individually

ACP > FORUM SECTIONS > Then click on each forum in turn and scroll down to the preferences and indicated which of the forums you wish to give access to for guests and which you do not

View on it's own will let them see that an area exists but will not allow them to read topics whilst both view and read gives them access to read posts but not reply unless you grant them those rights

Having just visited the forum I suspect that the problem may lie in your security setting

ACP > BOARD SETTINGS > SECURITY > Allow Guest to view the Board Yes/No
