Guests were able to view my forums but now they cannot. When they go to the index page it says Board has no forums. The guests permissions are set to read only. Not sure what to do.. PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

Did you remove the Anonymous user from the Guests group?

This may sound dumb, but how do I put back the Anonymous user?

Will this work for phpBB3.0?

Post by **Brf** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 4:44 pm

Yes. That is from the phpbb3 install... Except that you have to set the user_id back to "1"

pavilion1250 · Post by **pavilion1250** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:01 pm

I cannot find that file. I'm sorry but this is very new to me. I'll Keep trying.

Post by **Brf** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:03 pm

What file?
You do not need a file.
Just run those two SQL statements in phpmyadmin, then adjust the user_id for that one back to "1"

Where do I find this (phpmyadmin)? Is this the admin control panel?

How did you delete the anonymous user?

pavilion1250 · Post by **pavilion1250** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:17 pm

Users and groups tab/manage groups/ select mebers in the guests line/ check the box next to anonymous user and remove from the drop down. Really dumb move right.

Post by **Brf** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 5:21 pm

Then you didnt really delete the anonymous user.
All you did was remove him from the Guests group.
Select the anonymous user by checking the checkbox in Manage Users and add him back to the Guests group.
