MeMaBlue Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Ok! PROBLEM SOLVED! as a long vbulletin user i didnt know that the group "unregistered" is in ipb terminology called "guests" and this usergroup apparently was created after migration and i didnt take notice of it. i was checking permissions for the usergroup "unregistered" (which was imported from vb) while i should be looking at the permissions of the group "guests" which you can also recognize that it is the certain group, because of the brackets ( ) the numbers of users online right now are shown in - which wasnt visible when the site went online at the start since there wasnt anyone (any guests) on it yet. now, when i checked again, voila, that was it. DONE.... can please someone mark this topic as answered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeMaBlue Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 oh! same thing with the new users that get registered. in vbulletin they were "registered users" and the import put them there. but now when someone registers now, they are put in a group called "members" so this also has to have the correct permissions. by default it was set as to NOT see forum. changed that too and done.
