    I just created a new forum and would like to allow as much freedom as possible for all, but I didn't see an option for me to allow guests to post. Did I miss it or can't I do it?

    Thanks.

    Administration Panel > General > Forum > Categories & Forums
    Go through each forum (permissions) and check the boxes for guests to Open a Topic, etc.

    Well, I didn't see an option for guests, but one for "all"

    Problem fixed. Thanks guys or girls as the case may be. And, I'll be careful and will know how to be careful in the future, but for now I just want to attract a few members and make everything as easy as possible for them.

    Great advice and answers and thanks again. :-)
