Make it so everyone has to log in to get into Forums(index)

How do I make it so that folks have to sign in in order to view the forums?

i dont think its possible. they can view the index, but not the forums. you go tto admin panal>forum management>and then in each forums, set the permision so where only members can read topics there.

Hi, yes it is possible:
Admin panel> forum management
And in the permissions, edit VIEW to REG (reigstered) which will mean that only registered users can view the category and forum in question
