Board id number displaying on guest view

[bai]

Forum URL: kordeination.boards.net

Hello! So I have written a simple code myself to display a member's avatar in one of the boxes on board lists. I noticed that when I view my forum as a logged out guest, the board number displays instead on boards that are not accessible to guests. Here is a picture of what it looks like while viewing as a guest..




What SHOULD happen is that board number should not display at all, of course. I tried {else} and {elseif} code but it just jacked things up. I'm certain I did it wrong though. I always have trouble doing {elseif} codes.

Here's the code I currently have for the board lists

EDIT: So I messed around with the code and got the board ID numbers to stop showing up   BUTTTTTT........Now even on boards where the info SHOULD be displayed to guests, it's not...Compare the following screenshot with the first one for the "latest news" board.




Now I really don't know what's going on. Here's the board list code revised:

{foreach $[board]}
{if !$[board.is_redirect]}
<div id="$[board.content_id]" class="container $[board.content_class] dividedBoard">

<div class="divided-title-bar bbcode">
<div class="title_wrapper main">
<span class="link" style="text-transform:uppercase;">$[board]</span> {if $[board.num_viewing]}<span class="viewing"> - $[board.num_viewing] Viewing</span>{/if}
</div>
</div>

<div class="content cap-bottom">
<table class="list">
<tbody>
<tr id="$[board.content_id]" class="$[board.content_class]">

This if statement is formatted incorrectly (there needs to be a space before and after the || bit) which is causing it to always render as false, but even when formatted correctly it's completely useless anyways as the current user will always be a guest or a member. An if statement that always renders as true under any circumstance isn't necessary.

{if $[current_user.is_guest]||$[current_user.is_member]}

Since this information being present is dependent on your ability to see the contents of the Last Post column use the same if statement that's being used in that column.

{if $[board.last_thread]}
