Re: Guests can post

Go to admin/forums, edit the forums and make sure guests don't have posting rights.

Re: Guests can post

Yes I checked that on admin/forums and on admin/user groups and it's configured to don't let guests post topics or replies.

That's why it looks weird...

groups table in the DB seems to be fine too

Re: Guests can post

That's odd. It's difficult for me to tell you what might be the problem. I'd need access.

Hi Chali -
Can you tell me what you did to fix this problem?
I'm having the same issues. As far as I can tell, guests are disallowed from posting everywhere.
In each of the forums I have guests set to read-only. Yet upon logging out, I can still post...
Very odd.
Thanks,
Ben

Re: Guests can post

Did you change anything manually in the database?
What happened to me was my mistake, I changed the guest user ID.

Re: Guests can post

Hi Chali - yes, I've changed lots -- thanks for the tip. Just did a forum search here and found the answer to the database question.
For anyone searching for the same issue:

Guest group_id should be 3. Your guest id is always 1.

Thanks Chali.
