Allow Guests To Browser Forums

[Elfred]

Hi there

I'm having an issue allowing guests to browse the forum. I've gone into Admin > Permissions > Board Permissions and set guests to read-only. However, when a guest tries to browse the forum, this error appears:

Only registered members are allowed to access this section.
Please login below or register an account with Virus Removal Advice | PC Support | Coding Alterations.

How can this be resolved?

Thanks.

Hello

goto admin>configuration>features and options and then tick "Allow guests to browse the forum" then click save.

Wow, thanks so much!!

One more thing, how do you get users to receive a verification email when they sign up?

Admin>Registration>Settings>Method of registration employed for new members>EMail activation.

If you mean what I think you mean...

There doesn't seem to be a 'registration' option in admin.

Ah found it, had to hover over members

Last thing, when users type something and want to link it, instead of this coming up:

hxxp:text%20here [nonactive]

Is it possible for something to open where they insert a link onto the text as the above may confuse them

If you turn the WYSIWYG editor on (It's as buggy as ******, though), they can click on the icon and input that stuff.

If you mean like THIS, no. It has to be typed, I'm afraid.

I seem to remember there being a mod, though, for that.

Again, if I'm wrong, my stalker will correct me, I feel sure.

Is it possible to enlarge the size of how big the profile picture is, on everyones profile? E.g hxxp:prntscr.com/5e6gx0 [nonactive]

Check the Avatar Settings.

Sorry for all the questions, but one more thing.. how do I enable WYSIWYG for everyone?

[Night09]

It should be on by default unless you turned it off.

[Elfred]

Im not sure it is on

[Night09]

Administration Center »Posts and Topics »Post Settings

You tick to disable it not enable it.

that just turns it on, I believe (e.g. makes it available or not) -- it does not set all users to be using the wysiwyg... (however, actually doing so would be a mistake, IMO)

I know this topic is a bit old; but it came up for me when I did a search here on how to set permissions for Guests to read only, on only one topic. I did the steps outlined in the second post of this topic but it did not work. After further figuring, I found that it was because when I created the topic I wanted said permissions for, for some reason I over-looked the permissions that can be checked off while creating the topic. After I checked that permission, it works like a dream. I thought it might help other newbies if I posted this.

There is no such permission "per topic" in a standard SMF installation.
Permissions are set per BOARD.
