From what I remember you have to go through the Forum Permissions, forum-by-forum, and change the permissions from Public to Registered.
Guests will be able to read (I think) but not post.
phpbb q's!
ok so i havent done anything to my site in ages. now im tryin to redo it. but im having issues with faggot spammers on my boards
i currently disabled the ability for anyone to post. But how do i make it so you have to be a registered user to post?
i set it so only admin can accept you as a registered user ( i think) but fags are still posting under guests
i dont need slot and poker and buy cialis scammers flooding my board =/
anyone can help? pwease?

in each forum permissions you click advanced, and it lets you pick what usergroup can post/view/edit /etc.. in the forum.

it says POST: REG
but how are they still posting?
maybe they are registering and i didnt block it? like it say
slots (their name)
guest (underneath the name)
and then when i look them up to ban then it says no username found?

well
something isnt set right, and i'ts nearly impossible for *me* to figure it out without seeing the cp.
Are you sure they didn't post before you changed permission settings ?

that should be the right one. anyone registering after saving that setting, should have to be activated by you.

Also check the box for Visual Confirmation. this will make it harder for hackers to sign up and by pass your Admin Autho.

how old is your version? I have both 16 & 19 and on each it's right under Enable Account Activation. Hate to say it, but you need to do a serious upgrade to this board. That may actually be a big part of the problems you are experiencing.

you can doublecheck in the control panel ~ main page toward the bottom should list the version number. it should have a bright red message saying something about needed to upgrade to version "whatever" the newest is, though i'm not sure when they started including that feature.
your version will have to be upgraded to get the visual confirmation added in. if you don't have any mods installed, upgrading would be fairly simple. the more mods, the more complex it becomes.
