    did you log out of your forum and try to post in it.
    If you have the permissi9ons set right then it will work.
    go back and check your permissions once again for the forum or forums you want to allow them to post in.

    Admin panel>general>forums>

    click on the forum you wish to set the permissions for. be sure the permissions are set to advanced mode. and set the following.

    View the forum, Read the topics, Reply to a message and Open a new topic


    The rest of the permissions will be up to you, be sure to hit save after you set them as well Smile

    Like Kirk said, that's how you do it!
    (I actually thought you could only enable it on ALL forums, but then I remembered you could set it Razz)

    Yeah thats how it works
    You put any a name you want to use, the topic title. then add your message and hit send, then you will have to add a captcha conformation code and it will go through.
