I'm trying to setup a family forum, but I'd like to ensure that only registered members can see the posts.

I've tried the various mask for the guest from admin/member/read only but it seems that guests can still see messages on the forum that I'm setting up.

I have also setup in the forums config, "Hide if no access:

Means that the forum will be hidden when the user don't have read access to it."

The forum version that I have which is set at Godaddy.com is version 1.9.1.8 in a windows based server.

I don't have SSL installed, I'm not sure if that is an issue.

Is there anything that I'm missing?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Vernon

I found the setting under Access Mask. The READ ONLY mask by default still allows for forum reading.

Got it done.

Now one more issue to go (for now).
