Guests on a Closed Forum

Postby lwiley on Sun Jun 07, 2009 7:36 pm

We have a closed photography forum. The only forum a guest can see is the Welcome forum and it is locked. Users must register before they can see the other forums. That's the setup.

I can understand seeing a guest or two on the index page. But why do I sometimes see guests in the hidden forums? Are those bots? If so, how do I block them or can I?


TIA, Leroy

Thank you. I already had the forums I want hidden set to "no access" for guests. To be sure I went ahead and set all of those forums to "all never" for guests.

I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens now.


thanks, Leroy

Nope. That didn't fix it. I still have guests in my "hidden" forums. Hmmm. :?: :?:
