I have in the past given "Guest" access to a specific forum post which anyone can see when they visit the site, what I wish to do is open up the News Section of the forum to "Guests" also.

I have followed the instructions given via viewtopic.php?t=2546211 and also viewtopic.php?t=2133670 however nothing has been successful to date. My only thoughts are that there is a different way to enable this within 3.3.14. I have looked through all the permission areas and made sure that the "Guest" group and the "Anonymous" user can "Can see forum", "Can see topics", "Can read forum"

I am probably missing something pretty simple, however with all the attempts I cannot seem to recreate what I did with the "Disclaimer & Forum Rules" which you can see without registering to the forum

Any assistance would be highly appreciative

FIXED - I located that the "Radio News" was a sub forum and had to give the same permissions to "Discussions" ... just had to follow the Forum trail as such

Discussions - - News
