Hello, I have a forum on my forum that I want everybody to see, so also guests, non registered persons et cetera. I have been trying to figure out how to do that, but when I log out myself, everytime I see the notice that I am not registered and that I should register before I am able to see anything of the forum.
In 'Forums & Moderators' - 'View permissions' when I click on the forum I want everybody being able to see, and then click on 'change (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation', I go to another screen and it says:
Can View Forum
Yes

Can View Thread Content
Yes

Can View Others' Threads
Yes

So I don't get it why people still can't see it.

Thank you! But when I do that, they can see the whole forum, and I want them only to see certaint forums, and not all.
So any idea how to do that?

admincp/Forums & Moderators/Forum Permissions edit each main section for each group and it will auto do the sub section if any in each main section

Please note that you can't have a forum visible that is a subforum to an invisible forum. No idea if this applies here, but there was confusion in the past.

Thanks, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks, but that doesn't apply.

Forums & Moderators > Forum Permissions > Find the forum in question > edit the Unregistered Usergroup (not the Coppa one) and set the permissions how you want them.

Thank you very much, but it still doesn't work. The only thing that guests/not logged in users see is the notification that they are not logged in. Nothing else, so I'm wondering what's wrong?

Can view attachments is set to yes or no? Sometimes attachments i.e. images bieng posted in those forums will make it so those w/o permission to view images ("Can Download Attachments?" setting needs to be set to YES otherwise if its an image they won't have permission) will not be able to see the forum in question.
