I am having some problems with the forum permissions.

With the usergroup permissions unchanged, i set the forum-permissions in a specific forum, so that a guest can post topics and posts. I also set that the guest can do full edit, in order to be able to lock a topic.

I logout, but when i try to add a topic the "Allow posts" option is not shown.

I create the topic (always allowing posts) but now i can't reply at all. Whether i click the reply button, or use the quick-reply, i always get the message "You don't have permission to view the section of the site...." prompting me to login.

Paul i am trying to do the exactly opposite of what you did,

i leave the guest-usergroup permissions unchanged (guests cannot post anything by default),
then i edit a single forum and set its permissions, so that guests can post topics and posts,

if you try to do it this way, you will see it doesn't work.

The reason i want to do it this way, is because i want guests to be able to post only on a single forum, not on all of them. So all i have to do is grant post-permissions on this single forum, not revoke them on all other forums.
