Remove NewReply and NewThread Buttons for Guests
 

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.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]"></if>

around anything you only want to show to members.

This is the vB2 forum zak ;)

sorry for posting here i am new to vb :)
please move to vb3 forum. Zachery can you give me complete code and template to put/replace that code into ?

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.
