Forum Permission Problems - Posted By kyoshi (kyoshi) on 26th Apr 08 at 4:12pm
Hi,

In the 'manage forum permissions' section of my admin page, I have set the view category permissions to everyone (although 'guests' are not listed there). In the view board permissions, I've set it for everyone to view BUT only the categories are showing when I'm logged out (when everyone should be able to see the categories and boards)?

Is this a bug as it was working fine before?

Did you make sure your boards dont have anything set to them??
Re: Forum Permission Problems - Posted By kyoshi (kyoshi) on 26th Apr 08 at 5:49pm
I've made sure that the boards are open, as I said it was working fine before but when logged out only the category titles appear now, there's no category text or boards viewable although my settings are set for anyone to view.

Do you see the boards when your logged in?

Oo I might have an idea, check your general settings, go over whats marked. There should be options about guests. Read them and choose your answer.

I've checked that and I have that the boards can be viewed by guests. Is there admin that can look into this problem for me please?

Hmm, this is odd. An admin will help you when they become avaible. Go to your admin panel, and look at your security log, make sure your boards didnt get deleted.

Hi. Can you confirm if the boards are now showing when they should {Smile}

Hi Ross, you've certainly fixed it so that the boards headings can now be viewed when not logged in as a member, however, I've set the permissions that guests can view the boards when clicked on BUT when I click the boards as a guest for some reason it says that you have to log in to view the boards? so it's not quite right yet. {Sad}

Hi. Lets hope it's second time lucky! They should all be showing now?

In addition to that, I've restored some of your ad-free page views as I'm sure quite a few were used up trying to fix this {Smile}
