Hi all,
My Forum is split in two, one for members and one for guests. I need to keep the member section just that! No guests allowed but I do want to allow guest to see part of the Forum.

I've managed to get this working for the most part, all except the 'Jump to' Box, by using that guests are able to access the members only section and basically see everything.

If I can turn it off to guests only it would be great, if not I will just need to remove it completely.

Can anyone help with this??
Thanks in advance.

It should be set up only to show boards that guests can access...

When setting up your board's, if you set up for only guests then only guests should be able to see it.

The way the Forum is set up, both gusts and members can see the general area but then members have further access. I've been struggling to keep non members out of my Members only section for a while now and this is another doorway I have found. To be honest I'd be happy just to remove the 'Jump to:' box completely if anyone can help.

To be honest that means you have it misconfigured anyway because JumpTo gets the boards to display from what boards the current user can see, so even if you remove it, the odds are a guest can still get in...

So can I configure it that the Guests can only see the boards I want them to see?

Sure you can. For each board, go into its configuration and you'll see a load of tickboxes, these are the groups who can see and enter a board. Untick 'Guests' for each board that a guest shouldn't be able to see.
