I wanted to hide all forums from everyone except the Global Registered users when they login.

I posted a message in the test forum and then logged out. But I can still can see the message.

Here are the permissions:

CODE

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]
Global Anonymous Access (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) Global Registered Access (Yes) (Yes) (Yes) (Yes) (No) (No) (No) (Yes) (Yes) (Yes) (Yes) (No) (No) (No) (Yes) (Yes) TestForum (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No) (No)

so how do I set it up?

You've been using the wrong control panel. You've changed the permissions that the group manager can edit rather the forum permissions. You should've used the group manager linked to from the front page.

maybe one day I will understand group permissions on FUDForum... Rolling Eyes

so how do I do this:
I want to put FUDForum behind the htaccess/htpasswd. is there a way to allow a guest to still access to FUDForum ( via login as guest with a password of guest ) but only see a "public" forum? In other words, I will display the guest login that they can use for the htaccess/htpasswd screen, but I only want them to see a particular forum: visible and readable but no posting capability. All other that get past the htaccess/htpasswd screen will see all of the forums.

Yes, you could do that, BUT that will require your registered FUDForum users to login twice: once, to get past the htaccess/htpassword prompt, then login to FUDForum itself to see forums they have access to.

See Apache docs for info on .htaccess stuff, or you could edit the Apache httpd.conf file itself.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html
Look under the 'Authentication' section.

As for the FUDforum side of things:
Basically, nothing needs to be done permissions-wise, since anonymous users can only 'view' and 'read' by default on all forums. If there are forums that you don't want guests to see or read, then you'll need to edit the user permissions for Anonymous for those forums.
