Topic: Guests can read board w/o permission

I'm having a problem and I think it could be a bug. I set the Guest permissions to deny them access to the entire board, but when I view my forums as a guest I can still see everything. Anyone else have this problem?

Have you used the converter or is it a fresh install?

Oh sorry, yeah I used a convertor to convert from PhpBB. Is this a known problem?

I'm afraid it is. Have a look in the users table of the database. Make sure the user with ID = 1 has group_id set to 3.
