Hi, is there a way to prevent users from browsing my forum? I want to "totally" prohibit guest access.

Yes there is. I found it by screwing the code up.
There is some code in there that checks if the user is not logged in and a "Guest"
and it lets them right on in.
You can take that check out and guests can't be recognized.
Then it will make a member check and that check will fail since you've taken out the check for Guest.
That is all I remember.
But doing this will have adverse reactions like killing smtp verify perhaps since that is tied to it...not sure.
I did it by mistake, good luck.

Can someone guide me to do this without having to mess up the forum and code?

It would have to be Jaben.
Someone who knows the forums workings.
I could not find the right way to do it without huge side effects that ruined it.

I will go back and look at it again and tell you something you can try that might work.
But I make no guarantees.
It would be a do at your own risk type of thing.

IIRC in 1.9.3 there is an option in admin > host settings to allow only registered users access forum (site-wide). Try to look host settings, it's in one of the tabs but I can't tell which without having 1.9.3 installed (which I'm working on right now on my new box). If you have older version and don't intend to upgrade, you'll have to edit code and do something about it in the load event of ForumPage class. Check for IsGuest. ..or something along the line, as I don't have code in front of me. When I post FP:Ederon in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting.

I put the if (isGuest) in the forumpage_load, but it's stuck in that loop forever
