Anonymous users are not able to browse my forums.

when I am in the Group(s) Manager screen, these are my Permissions for all of the forums for Anonymous:
Yes Yes No No No No No No No No No No No No No No Yes

and I get this msg when an Anonymous user clicks on a forum to view the msgs

Tree view of the topic listing has been disabled.
The administrator has disabled the tree view of the topic listing, please use the flat view instead.

what have I need to do to allow Anonymous users to browse my forums?

Change the default topic view in the admin control panel.

Hello,

I've got the same problem as esm2002.
Setup (FUDforum 2.6.3RC3):
Allow Tree View of Thread Listing: No
Disable Tree View of Message Listing: Yes
Default Topic View: Flat View thread and message list

Anonymous person can't browse forums:
Tree view of the topic listing has been disabled.
The administrator has disabled the tree view of the topic listing, please use the flat view instead.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Did the problem appear after you've modified the settings mentioned above, or was it there prior to the upgrade to the latest release?

This is fresh install of 2.6.3RC3.

After installation my setup was:

Quote:

Allow Tree View of Thread Listing: No
Disable Tree View of Message Listing: Yes
Default Topic View: Flat View thread and message list

and everything was fine in anonymous mode.

Next I've switched "Allow Tree View of Thread Listing" to Yes and "Default Topic View" to "tree thread listing/flat message listing",
played with the forum as anonymous and switched the options back.
After that anonymous browsing was impossible.

I think this could be a bug, because default thread view for anonymous magically switched to "tree thread listing...". When I have changed anonymous profile ("flat view" was the only option available) everything started to work again.
