"Unregistered Usergroups"

[IFx DDay]

I'm very new to vbulletin.

I believe I may have messed up my usergroups. I change all of the default usergroups in the usergroup manager instead of using custom usergroups below it.

I have a gaming site and I have specific sections that I'd like to give permissions to specific groups. Well..I believe I have done this correctly, but in doing so saved over the settings of "unregistered usergroup". I assume that was one of the default groups.

I checked by logging out and I was able to see the entire list of forums whereas I'd like to make it to where people who are unregistered cannot see any forums.

Can I go back and fix this?
Thanks

By default unregistered users can see all your forums, they just can't post in them.

To change this in Admin CP go to "Forum Permissions" under "Forums & Moderators" and in these you can set custom permissions in each forum (or category) for each usergroup including Unregistered / Not Logged In.

You should consider through that blocking guest access to a forum also blocks a search engine from indexing it- so if you block too much content you will have very little indexed by Google and the others. This could prevent new members from finding your site when searching.

Did you delete the group or rename it?

What is your usergroup with id #1 called?
