Plain Index page for Unregistered Visitors?

Post by slovideopete »

Support Request Template
What version of phpBB are you using? phpBB 3.3.7
What is your board's URL? https://videopete.com/phpbb/index.php
Who do you host your board with? Greengeeks.com
How did you install your board? I used a tool provided by my host
What is the most recent action performed on your board? Fresh Install
Is registration required to reproduce this issue? No
Do you have any MODs installed? No
Do you have any extensions installed? No
What styles do you currently have installed? default
What language(s) is your board currently using? Engrish
Which database type/version are you using? MariaDB
What is your level of experience? New to PHP and phpBB
What actions did you take (updating your board prior to this problem becoming noticeable? Fresh install. I am trying to replicate some of the security features available @ProBoards.com. I have searched through ACP configurations and searched the Community site for these options, no joy.
Please describe your problem. I am abandoning a forum at ProBoards due to their poor security. I just want a private hobby forum for registered friends. I am looking to implement here a feature I liked where Unregistered Visitors, bots, etc are only displayed a relatively blank index page with no Forum titles, Statistics, or Who Is Online displayed. Is this possible? Thanks for any assistance!

Go to permissions in the acp and remove the guest and the bots access, to the options you where mention and the forums in"forum permissions"

Just to clarify that bit above, rather than removing the permissions you need to set them to No Access

I would suggest that you do not use this method of installing phpBB as at some point you may run into problems due to the fact that this type of install uses modified files which nobody here knows what they are and in some case some featues have been known to be disabled - you should use the files that can be downloaded from this site

I now no longer support any of my extensions but they will start to become available here
