One of the new changes in the standard release of phpbb is this one: Change default forum permissions to only allow registered users to post in new forums. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

It does encourage people to register but if people have no comment, they can still read the posts. _________________ \| Royal Marines Online \| Royal Marines Forum \| Quick look busy, admin is coming

This is only the default for a new forum, you can always change the permissions as usual.

I said Yes. Three of my forum members have now set up their own forums here, and two of them have had problems with Guest posting because they didn't know it was an option, or didn't know how to change it. It would just make life easier for new forum owners if Registered-only posting was the default. _________________
