guests can read but not post = how

[TheDragon]

sure this is simple -but want to make sure I get it right

when I make a new Board, I get these options
and I am guessing I do NOT check the "guest" box

Allowed Groups
Groups allowed to access this board.
Note: if the member is any group or post group checked, they will have access to this board.

Guests
Regular Members
Global Moderator

Jr. Member

Sr. Member

Check all

but I also DID check the box that says

Allow guests to browse the forum

does this mean they can READ any post??
which is good for now - but what if I wanted guests NOT to be able to view certain sections of the Forum?

Guests can only make posts if enabled via permissions (Admin -> Membergroups -> Permissions)

Also, the option "Allow guests to browde forum" means that if unchecked, a guest will be prompted to login.

When setting board permissions, that only allows the guest to see that board, not post to it.

to confirm - guests can never "POST"

btw

Actually they can post if you give that permission to the group "guest".  It is off by default though.

ahhhh, thanks
- never thought to look in to Permissions and see that Guest was a MEMBER_GROUP !
(always thought member_groups were MADE and/or were Moderators et)
