how do allow guest to veiw my forum but only veiw it not posting and stuff? Theres so many different options in admin im not sure wich is the right one.

that better?

Thank you Starry for changing your topic title.

You can set the permissions for each forum to only allow members to view your forum by going into your admin panel=>general=>Forums and Categories=> ( Be sure you are in Advanced Mode ) Scroll down to which forums you would like to modify and click the permissions icon and set the permissions to only allow members to view your forum, then click save. I hope that helps some.

thanks nessa...so if i set that to guest will that allow guest to veiw? and not post?

i figured it out it states in there that you can tick if you want them to be able to post thanks a million nessa.

You're welcome Starry. Glad I could be of assistance.
