Hi - I have put tabbed pages (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=17568) on my forum, in an effort to reduce the searching time and confusion for members on a reasonably large site look here (http://www.woodworkforums.com). However I would like to set up a non tabbed page (skin) to use as the default (and only) skin for guests.

IE I don't want guests to view the tabbed pages, only one big page the way the forums used to be before I put on the tabs.

I have set up the page (skin) all ready to go, but can't find a way of making it the default view for guests. Thought it would be something that was easily done but I guess not. At vBulletin.com I was told it was too difficult and to look over here.

Have found a couple of hacks Restrict Styles to Usergroup and Force Style for Selected Users or Groups (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=producthelp&pid=jd_20070403) and neither work for me.

I would have thought this to be something that's pretty easily done but from what I've seen it seems to be a bit in the too hard basket.

Is there anyone who has an answer or can help me.

Cheers - Neil :)

Set the style as default in your vBulletin Options. guests will always ise the default.

Thanks Marco - Not the answer I was looking for but it's becoming increasingly evident that it may be the only answer. Will have to tell the registered members to switch back to the tabbed versions manually.

Cheers - Neil :)

Or you can use the force style modification for your regular members to have the tabbed style. Or just leave the choice up to them.
