Permissions - Can View: Yes, Can Read: No (fix completed in vcs)

When you have a setting like this:

Can View: Yes
Can Read: No

Set for as an example Unregistered Guests. It does not ask them to log in or anything.. they just click the link and get a blank forum instead of a notice or anything.

There should be a login, or a notice saying they do not have the proper access to that forum.

Basically.. if they aren't logged in it should ask them to, and then it should see if they should have access to that forum.

I do this for unregistered guests so they can see that a forum exists, but so they cannot read or post without logging in.

Basically this would be a feature request, but i think it is possible to display a notice for the user instead of a blank forum. The login box is not shown, because the user is having the correct permission to view but not read.

This is done the way you see it to allow users correctly accessing subforums if they have view permission but not read permission (before, users were not able to reach the subforums if not listed on the index due to the login box Wink).

Therefore i think displaying a notice is a good compromise.
