Hello,
I've got some weird issues with public permissions on my site.
I want to restrict a special area to just allow everyone to access and read topics, but only allowing to post / create new threads after registration / login.
To be more clear - what i would like to do is:
Access / Read Topics -> allowed for everyone
Create / Post Replies -> disabled for public, but allowed for my "lowest" group "Rookie" (which is automaticaly set after registration) and everything above
So, i went to Settings -> General and activated "dedicated permissions"
For my concerning forum, i also checked "enable permissions" with "YES"
Permissions are set as following:
Display / Access -> "Allowed" for every single group
Create New Topics -> "Not Set" for public, "Allowed" for all other groups
Post Replies -> "Not Set" for public, "Allowed" for all other groups
Read / View Topic -> "Allowed" for every single groups
Having it activated as above, it doensn't matter if i'm logged in or not, creating a topic and posting is possible for everyone (even after logging in and out to reset session).
If i change my permissions for create / replie topics for my group "rookie" to "not set", suddenly creating / replying is restricted for both "public" and this "rookie" group.
So, maybe someone got an idea here?
Thanks in advance!

Hi anewtry,
This is a fresh forum installation or you already had the forums and you are trying to make a change to one of the forum sections ?
Best regards,

Good morning! :-)
after sleeping a night about it, I've found the issue. it was in my global configuration ... every public user (not signed in) had the permissions of my "Rookie" group. so everything was fine with my forums configuration.
pretty sorry for any inconvenience and thank you very much for your fast reply!!
have a nice day!
