Topic Links MIA

Post by Adventureguy »

Hi, it seems like none of the topic links are there unless I am logged in. For example, when I go to "Flying Boat Interiors", I see the list of topics, but I can't view any of them because there are no links. For example, "Short Solents, drawings et al" is just text, not a link, although "MrJohn" is a link. I have tried this with both Edge and Duck browsers. :?

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

You are correct, anyone who does not login as a Registered Member will NOT get to view anything in the Forum other than the main headings.

I have done this as whilst my Forum is a 'Freebie' to all, what I want is the registered membership number to rise - not just sit there at number '709' for the next two years whilst everyone gets a 'free-ride' around the Forum and I have no idea who they are or more importantly, what they are copying from the posts of the official registered members. No-one will operate on my Forum without doing it correctly as it puts the Forum at risk.

This is something that cropped up upon re-setting the Forum in it's new host's home and it's simple; everyone that wants to see the Forum at any time in the World can do so by simply entering their Username and Password. (BTW: Your U/N should display itself automatically each time you login if you click the 'remember me' icon, leaving you just your own private password to physically enter. Upon that, you then will have full access to everything in the Forum. All of this is also required for the Forum security operating system which provides me Forum 'data' on who is login on, and who isn't which helps me to help out and understand about them and what they are looking at - all Forum running 'Standard Stuff'.

So, to recap, just login as per normal and all will be fine..!

I hope that helps,
Best Regards,
