yea but the problem is, no matter what value i put down it still doesn't let unregistered users view anything

Alter the line that checks for posting permissions in newthread.php to something like this

if ($foruminfo[minposts] && ($foruminfo[minposts]>$bbuserinfo[posts]) and !(ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid],"",$bbuserinfo[userid]))) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_forumno post")."\");");
exit;
}
