How do I View Calendar and PM for Anyone?

[MikeBergman]

I'm trying to find a way to allow anonymous (unregistered) users be able to send PM's and view the calendar all the time BUT not have access to view the forum.

The reason I want to do this is cause the site I'm building, only registered members should be allowed to view the forum but anyone should be able to view the calendar or send a pm to any member (that has pm enabled, and obviously the pm will arrive as from unknown and the person who sent it won't be able to get a reply but that's fine, I just want to be able to send messages).

I have tried enabling Private Messaging option for unregistered users but it doesn't seem to work, even when I click to message a member it still says I don't have pm-ing turned on. I checked to make sure the member was able to recieve them and they are so not sure why that doesn't work, perhaps a bug cause it's set in pemissions.

But for the Calendar issue... there doesn't seem to be a permission option at all for the calendar, it seems that it's linked to the forum, users who can view the forum can also view the calendar.

I'm pretty new to vBulletin but I have a fairly good understanding of php, just not familiar with the vBulletin system so if anyone else knows how/where/what I need to change these options, please let me know,

greatly appreciated,
