Remove NewReply and NewThread Buttons for Guests

[David_R]

How can I disable newreply and newthread for guests ?
Is there a way to disable this based on userpermissions ?

We have a couple of forums made for announcing site updates in forums.
But guests and other registered users can still find new thread and new reply buttons.

Importantly, google bot sticks itself to new thread and new reply buttons.. unable to index properly. :squareeyed:

In the AdminCP go to the Forum Manager. Then find the forum and select Permissions. Then just change the permissions as needed. Look for the "can view, can post" etc options.

David. its not too hard, find the showthread and forumdisplay templates and look for any refrence to newthread.gif and reply.gif and add the code aroudn the link tags.

If you are still having troulbes I'll post complete edits, but if you take a moment I think you can get it on your own.
