I seem to be having a heck of a time setting up my security on the boards. Either that or someone out there is just 10 times smarter than I am and can keep getting into things.
I shut my original board down and brought it up as a new install, to start from scratch with a new 'guild' of folks I game with.
My forums are setup pretty simple right now. Kinda looks like this:
-Public Forums
--Public Discussion
-Private Forums
--Private Discussion
I've made a new user group and put the guild members in it. When I change people to this usergroup they get access to the Private Forums like they should, all seems well.
When you log out, you can only view the public forums -- works as intended.
When logging in as registered users, you can see and post on the public forums -- works as intended.
HOWEVER, when I was browsing the 'Who's On-line' I noticed this:
"Guest Viewing Attachment in Thread I'm bored at work.. RL pic thread... 10:02 AM"
An unregistered, un-logged in user that shows up as 'Guest' was reading a message on our PRIVATE boards.
Currently access masks are off. I don't quite understand how they're used as the forum permissions have always been good enough for me...(Or so I thought?)
I would appreciate any input to my problem here. My board is located at http://vex.pwned.com and my customer info is filled out in my profile. I'd be happy to PM someone with the admin password if they'd be willing to just take a quick look.
Regards,
Chris
