Guests is YAF is a tricky point. 1. Guest group notion. By design YAF can have one and only one Guest user for each board. Technically the Guest reside in [b]prefix_user[/b] table and marked by a special flag. The guest should be in a role. The roles are in prefix_group tables. Notice, that the table contains roles added from ASP.NET Roles. The roles can be added from the prefix_group by YAF too when you create a new group. A guest role has a special IsGuest=2 flag set like a User has IsGuest=4 flag set. So in some situations YAF can treat a user added to a Guest group as a guest. To avoid possible problems be sure that only one user for each board is guest. The query should not return any records. Run it from Run SQL in YAF admin section. [code=sql]select u.name from prefix_user u join prefix_usergroup ug on ug. userid = u. userid join prefix_group g on g.groupid = ug.groupid where u.boardid = [insert a boardid here] and (g.flags & 2) = 2 and (u.flags & 4) <> 4;[/code] 2. Be sure that you always have a special guest user and a respective guest group. If YAF can't find a guest user run above a bit modified quiery. It should always return a single guest user for each board [code=sql]select u.name from prefix_user u join prefix_usergroup ug on ug. userid = u. userid join prefix_group g on g.groupid = ug.groupid where u.boardid = [insert a boardid here] and (g.flags & 2) = 2;[/code] Keep it in mind again that Guest group is a part of ASP.NET Roles. But Guest user itself is not in ASP.NET Membership. If you change a Guest Role Name you'd better delete an old Guests group as you will have 2 groups which are marked as IsGuest which can lead to confusing.
