Guest Permissions

[Bobn]

Hi,

Im wanting to create a board without registration so guests can post. Is there a way to approve guest posts? I mean, I will allow registration but not require it,, just need to keep an eye on them.

if you enable post moderation, you can enable guests to Post new topics, but hide until approved    
Help and Post replies to topics, but hide until approved. you can find these under permissions once you enable the post moderation under core features.

Another way is to go into (Admin > Permissions > Edit Profiles), than create a new board profile called "Guest" based of default.

Select the newly created profile, and check the permissions to create/post new topics/posts.

After you get the permissions sorted, create the new board and select the profile "Guest".

After that, Guests will be able to post only in your newly created board, or any other board you give the "Guest" profile too.

On this subject sort of I have nearly all of  the permissions for guest shut off yet still have guests viewing the member info and other sections of the forum I have shut off to guests. Is there a back door  that others use to view my site or am I missing something on permissions that allows guest to go where they want?

most likely a "guest" has the url but is getting an error message. logout and go to the url you are seeing and see if they are seeing an error message or the actual information.
