    Hi - launched a new site yesterday for residents to fight back against local council plans in our area. We built the site to have registered only access to the forums but after discussions today we decided that the forums should be accessible by the public.

    I have changed the permission settings for the two forum boards to allow guests and pending but not banned to see the forum and read posts. However in a non logged in state you cannot see them.

    The forum is using the Scaffold skin (I can’t see why this would have an affect) and has been embedded in our site design using {exp:forum}.

    The site is http://croydoncouncil.com

    The forums page is at: http://croydoncouncil.com/index.php/forum
