3. What can I do about the permissions on my cms? I have it set that anyone can read but when you first show up on site it asks you to log in. Please see what I mean by going to the following domain:

*Ignore the //'s I am trying not to be indexed in SE

** url removed **

Please someone help me with this. I want anyone coming to the site to see the articles written even if not registered.

Thanks in advance.

- The + means you are their friend, i.e. friend request from profile etc.
- The * means they are invisible, if you have that option set in their usergroup then they can login invisible to other members however you as the site admin you can always see them on the site and with a * beside their name.
- The CMS, it's more than likely your cms and/or forum permissions... especially if you have any widgets like recent threads or posts, if you have those enabled and they are private forums it can cause what I call a conflict of permissions per say. Double-check all your permissions .
