Hi,
I want to have SMF completely secured by username and password. But I have found that when I am logged off and goto search page and type word that can be found in db I can see fragments of posts. I was trying to google it but without luck to find how to disable this feature. Could you help me?
Thx
Ivos

Why not just remove the permission for guests to search your forum?

Then add this

And the quick search disappears when guests have no permission.

Well, it was implied that the fact that guests could even see parts of the messages was a problem... Hence the suggestion to turn off guest acces compketely.

Hello all,

Ummm, is there a way to have just a Guest category available without having the problem that started this post?

On a brand new forum (see Your Sanctuary in my signature) I had "Allow guests to browse the forum" checked so that they could see the "Rules", the boards that may be viewable to them and such.

When I unchecked "Allow guests to browse the forum", BAM! all that is is seen is the menu Home, Help, Members, and Register.

I believe it is much more welcoming with the Guest Category viewable.

of course.


search respects all the standard viewing permissions.
If a user or guest cannot see a board, then messges form that board are not displayed during a search by that user or guest.

However, you are getting off topic, since the original posted asked if s/he could stop the guests from searching at all, because s/he did not want the guests to see ANY messages

Sorry Kindred
As my forum is still "under construction" I will leave "Allow Guests to...." enabled.

Be Well,
