Title: Allowing guests to view boards
Post by: brion on July 05, 2009, 03:10:46 PM
I cannot find an option anywhere in the admin control panel to allow guests to view all of the boards. I have it where they cannot post, but I would like them to be able to read them without needing to register.

Acp-Boards. Choose the boards that you the guests to view and click the Modify button. Then tick the options for the guests. For more check the screenshot below.

You will also want to check the box under:

Admin > Configuration > Features and Options > Allow guests to browse the forum

If this is solved please mark it solved by clicking the Mark Topic Solved link at the bottom left of the page.
