Thread description not showing

[gyancentral]

I am facing a rather odd issue, when the user is logged in he can see thread descriptions within forums however the same descriptions cannot be seen once he logs out or a guest viewing the forum.

the forum is www.gyancentral.com/forum - I am attaching a screenshot a guest sees

Could you post a picture showing the part that's missing?

[gyancentral]

Please find attached the screenshot that a logged in user sees with the descriptions

OK, I was confused because that normally doesn't display unless you mouse over that area - or else it's a browser-dependent thing. Anyway, looking at the code, if guests don't have permission to view threads in that forum, then there will be no thread preview text.

Thanks, any work around for this?

The style has been customized, obviously. Maybe whoever did that put the thread.preview inside an "if" so it only shows to logged in users? This would be in template "threadbit", search for thread.preview and see what the surrounding code looks like. Maybe there's something like

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

@kh99 - many thanks I will definitely get my developer to have a look at the code because I am not comfortable with Vbulletin coding.
