Private to Open Forum

[aog]

Hi, I set up my board a long time ago & locked it as a Private board. Is it possible to revert back to an open forum & where do I find the settings to do this. Old age has not been kind to me

Thanks

hi there.
Assume you mean Maintenance mode? I can’t see without a board link, if so follow this guide…

Hey higgerz.  Hope you are well


aog.  There are a few settings this could be, so if the link higgerz provided didn't help, could we ask that you provide the link to your forum

aog, by "private board" I'm guessing you may have enabled the Guests Must Login feature which hides the forum behind a blue splash page.

If this is the case, you can disable it by going to Admin > Settings > Forum Settings, Login & Registration tab. Then in the first section on that page look for "Guests Must Login" and change the setting from Yes to No.

Thanks Scott, That was where the problem was. Resolved now
