Hey guyz,

I am using drupal version 5.
I am not sure how to allow anonymous users to view the forum content. I am not able to find no option where i can grant them permissions.

Can anyone tell me how to allow acces permission to anonymous users to access forum

Thanks
Adi

I don't use drupal 5.x any longer but if memory serves me correctly. you do so in your permissions area. forum threads are content thus anon user role needs view content permissions. If you want finer grain control you will have to look into using one of the authentication modules available in the downloads section.

VeryMisunderstood has it exactly right. If you want more control for Forums, you can look at the Forum Access module.

Hi,
Thanks for you help regarding forum access. Could you also clear some more doubts of mine.
I have created a form for the authentic users to submit. But at the end of every form is the following message and more information about formatting.

Can you tell me how to remove this, as this thing is going to confuse my users.
Thanks

* Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
* Allowed HTML tags:

 <del> <blockquote> <q> <sub> <p> <br> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <a> <b> <u> <i> <sup>
    * Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
    * You may post code using <code>...

(generic) or ... (highlighted PHP) tags.
* Project issue numbers (ex. #12345: How do I log in as admin?) turn into links automatically.

unrelated questions should be submitted in a new forum thread.

removing that type of description will require themeing out that description field. I'd think users will be more confused not knowing what tags they can use v.s knowing what tags they can.

you certainly shouldn't be allowing standard users to use the php filter because using that is a security issue as anyone can run malicious scripts with that filter.
