Title: Guests Cannot View The Forum
Post by: newtoallthis on February 20, 2011, 07:12:13 AM

XP SP3, SMF 2 RC5, SP 2.3.3

I've got my forum set in the SMF admin panel to permit guests to browse all public areas of my site.

Unfortunately, they can only 'see' one board out of eighteen (the boards are in eight categories).

Are there any settings in Simple Portal which could be creating a conflict?

SimplePortal should not be messing with board permissions.
You might like to check the local permissions on each of the boards.
If you created one with local permissions set to disallow guests, then created other new boards with permissions "just like the other one", you could get board after board with the same permissions.

I will check that out. Many thanks for your help.

Please post again when you have news about how that worked out.
