Guests unable to post/reply.

I cant seem to let guests be able to post/reply. 

I made sure permissions allowed in every board and sub-board had everyone able to post and reply, etc.

I even tried forum settings and disabled login required; yet it still requires it? 

Please give all methods/help possible to tell me how to fix this.

Hi
Double check:
All of the permissions for your categories and boards. Admin>Structure>Categories & Boards.

You may want to allow guest posting on only a few boards as spam is always a potential issue. Guests will also still be required to complete a CAPTCHA before they are able to post, so make sure to encourage them to join!

I double checked many times, what do i do?

Let's back up.

How do you know that guests cannot make posts? If we start there, we should be able to reverse engineer the cause and provide a solution. I know this sounds like a stupid question, but this is generally the best place to start so we can walk through the process and make sure that we're on the same page — a lot of misunderstandings in troubleshooting occur when the helper and person needing help aren't aligned on terminology and what happens when, so i am trying to avoid that

I just made a guest post. But that was because there was a thread to reply to.

infproj - just confirming that I reviewed your board permissions and all boards allow for guest reply posting, and one board restricts the creation of new threads but still allows for guest replies. (The exception to all of this would be the Moderator Discussion board of course.)

As Kami stated, let's take a step back. Please let us know why you believe guests are not able to reply?

As a guest when I try to post on another device, it says Please login/register.

I can not post as a guest.
