Hi guys,

I am currently working on a new SMF forum that I have just installed on a domain that I will be disclosing here soon. It will purely business and wealth creation forum and I wish to make it unique.

But I'm presently stuck.

I wish not to allow Guests to read post not to talk of replying but don't really know how to set permissions to effect that. Urgent assistance here will be appreciated.

Thanks

I think thats a not so good idea for a forum.My advice is that you let guest read only,then when you are sure you have extra-ordinary contents,you can make strict rules on posting and viewing.

It is quite simple, there is an option in the features and options section of the admin panel. If you uncheck the box for enable guests access, then guests would be asked to login or register when they visit your site. Like the poster above said, it is not always the best because you wont be indexed by search engines. My forum is also an smf forum, if you encounter any problems don't hesitate to contact me.
