Turning off guest posting permission

[dougp]

I cannot find where to do this.  I thought I had it turned off but perhaps this got toggled with an update.

What I'd like to achieve is that guests can access and read the site but cannot post.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like you have Post Before Register enabled which will allow a guest to post and then register but the post will not show till the guest fully completes the registration and validation processes.

If you do not wish to have this enabled, ylease ensure that in ACP -> System -> Posting -> Post Before Register is disabled.

Thanks for the help.  Turns out that was not my problem but it did lead me to the actual problem;  I had inadvertently left one of the group permission radio buttons selected which allowed guests to post in one of the forums.

Solved, thanks again.

Excellent. Glad to hear you got that sorted and we could at least be a source of inspiration 😄 . Have a happy new year!
