I am trying to make this forum more accessible for client. They want to open the screen with all topics and only sign in when posting or replying to a post. I checked that box in the admin options but all they get is the name of the forum on the sign-in screen. How do I get all the topics displayed?
Either create a shortcut for the client (e.g. "http://(yoursite)/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=1") with the ID number matching the forum which they want to view, or create a default page like below which redirects to that path and set that page in IIS as the entry page to the forum. Make sure that the "FORUM_ID" portion of the URL is capitalized.
Unless you have installed a MOD that changes the default behaviour, if you have "Require Registration" set to "Off", anyone can see the public topics/forums but will be required to sign in when posting/replying. It's the way this is set up now. Or did I misunderstand the question?
I thought they wanted to jump straight into a topic listing within a particular forum (rather than a list of forums), regardless of required registration.
