Completely block guests

[Walerx]

Hey,

How would I go about setting it up so that if a guests comes to the forum, it shows them just like "Private forums, please register and await validation" instead of like the main index page? I just want it to show a box that says that they need to register and be validated.

Right now I have all the permissions set to not show the forums to guests, but I don't even want them to be able to see the like, "Who's Online" parts and stuff.

Thanks for any help.

If you have set your Guest / Not Logged In usergroup to Can View Forum: No, then they don't see anything except the header/footer and a login page.
