The boards on my site allow anonymous/guest posters to post. How can this be disabled? The only setting I have found is in nuke admin > preferences, and this is set to no.

Forum/Configuration/Permissions

Then set each Forum to the permissions you want.

Thank you, Raven. I guess I assumed that it would be a more obvious setting......and look what that got me, hehe. Thanks again.

or alternatively you could make it so only registered members can see the module from the modules administration

Then only registered users can VIEW the posts which is probably what you do not want. You normally want everyone to view.

Well i didnt mind that until i began to discover 20 or more people anonymously browsing from the same ip... that ticked me off enough to require registration Razz

Besides most sites have other benefits

Guys,

What happened to the setting in Preferences that use to stop Anonymous users from posting.

It is still in version 7.0 but there is a bug and it currently doesn't work.

If you are running 6.5 select allow anoymous to post to NO and Guests can't post to the forums.

I hope this is fixed in the public release!
