Greetings, all,

Currently I'm using XOOPS 2.0.14-rc1 to power http://www.bgpublishing.com .

On my site I've got a forum "Design Samples" dedicated to showcasing some of my design work. I want to have it viewable by both registered and anonymous users but only webmaster/moderator status can post replies. I don't see how to do it with the current permissions and priviledges setup.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Look at the permissions tab in the admin area for new bb.... use the dropdown menu to choose what permissions you are assigning.

Thanks for your input, however the option to tweak privs and permissions to that level is not available on my version of new bb (which was installed with my XOOPS config back in August).

Here's the info about the Forum that was installed:

Forum Version 1 -- Forums module for XOOPS

Author
Original admin section (phpBB 1.4.4)
by The phpBB Group
( http://www.phpbb.com/ )
Credits
Kazumi Ono ( http://www.myweb.ne.jp/ )

Going to check to see if there's a later version but, again, this one does not allow for tweaking privs and permissions to that level; aside from anonymous reading, if you're a registered user and you can read a forum, you can post in it. I need the ability to disable that posting ability, regardless of group or permissions settings.

Any other ideas?

I recommend upgrading to CBB 3.05...

Upgrade should keep all your posts & forums intact. Read docs in root and back up your db first.
