If the forums are not there to view then the topics can not be read as there would be no link to them.
You would have to provide links to the topics that you wanted "All" to be able to read.

Thanks for your reply chris. It seems to me that I have found a bug in the phpBB2, if auth view is not just to define view access to a forum then what is it for?ChrisRLG wrote:I have done this with v3 but not with v2.
That is often done as an enticer to register. If prospective users can see that the forum exists but they have to be a member to read the contents ----- agreed?Ornette wrote:Well, conversely, why would anyone want to see the contents of a forum, but not read it?
phpBB2 has been "feature frozen" for two years now. Updates are ONLY released if there is a security problem discovered.Ornette wrote:Maybe it can be added to 2.0.24

Thanks for your reply Drathbun. Your page on the phpBB tables has been an invaluable assistance to me over the last few weeks. Excellent reference - very much appreciated!drathbun wrote:The typical approach is to simply retrieve the info from the database and display it yourself on your extra pages, that way no phpBB permissions come into play at all.
