How do I make a forum that is open to the public, anybody can post a question in. But ONLY in that particular forum. They don't have to join.
Thanks,
Mark

In the Administrator, find that forum you want public and click on 'Forum Permission' and enable guest to post.

In the Administrator, .
Where is "the Administrator"?
Forum manager? I've been thru some and can't find anything about "guests" posting.
Operator error I'm sure.
Thanks,
Mark

Admin control panel, forums and moderators, view permissions, select forum...
then there are User groups to select, do I select "unregistered/not logged in"?
I don't see anything for "guests".
AFter I select them, I tick "yes" for post threads? :confused:
Thanks,
Mark
