Description
See previous post about Anonymous/Authenticated users unable to access forum...
I have edited the "access forum drop down" as suggested by enabling "access forum" & "post new threads"
I have also enabled in permissions for UIE...
'Authenticated users'
access forum -
post new threads -
and
'Anonymous users'
access forum -
Authenticated users can now see and use the forum however anonymous users still cannot see the forum,
Access Denied message!
any ideas please ?

Think I may have sorted it!
Went through all admin settings for access and users and "submitted" each one without actually changing anything.
#2
Got exactly the same issue: despite the fact i enables "access forum" for anonymous users, they still cannot access to it...

Here is the solution which worked for me (5.x):
1) install the latest release code (15th may)
2) Log in as admin, and go on your uieforum board page.
3) Edit your root forum (mine is called 'forums' by default, and grant access to all the roles (in the drop-down menu)
Anonymous users should now see the forum
I had this odd issue on my test site: the drop-down menu of my root forum remained empty: i had to delete all my sub-forums, and then the role list appeared in the drop-down menu...

I'm setting this to closed - the install.txt tells you to setup your security to allow anonymous access :p
#5
A quick follow-up...my workaround for 5.x-1.x is to create a forum, the edit the forum to set permissions. Setting them at the time of creation doesn't appear to work.

Zoro; perhaps you can put this into layman's terms for us. It doesn't appear that the install.txt file addresses anything other than setting private forums. Access Control has the options available; but doesn't seem to work one way or the other. I also have not seen any role drop down menus anywhere, but only the check boxes for the users we are not to tamper with. I'd love to use this great module, and am normally rather intuitive, but with the install.txt's warnings and such, I am afraid to tamper with the module too much. What are the steps to allow unregistered users to view but not post in forums, and to allow authenticated users to view and post? Thank you.

I have managed to get unregistered and registered users to view my forum, but it requires giving them admin privileges, which is something that I am a little unwilling to do. I've gone through a lot of options: tried editing the root forum (can't do that, Access Control says "No Access Controls to add for this forum"), tried running update.php (twice, both times it did nothing whatsoever to fix things), . Browsing through the admin settings for drupal has turned up nothing... every time I view the site when not logged in or with a non-admin test account, it always gives me a 403 error, forbidden. Maybe I'm a bit dumb (I freely admit it!) but I've looked through Install.txt and I've looked through this thread and I've looked through a lot of the support stuff for this module, but I am simply not finding an answer to the problem.
edit: okay, the other half of the site admin team managed to fix it. It's a case of setting up the security (not privileges) properly.

can you elaborate on how you fixed this? we can't get anyone but those with 'administer forums' perms to access the forum, which seems like a bug.
