Mybb: Hide board, but show member profiles for guests?

Created on 25 Nov 2019 · 5Comments · Source: mybb/mybb

Is this possible to do? I have can view board unchecked, and view profiles checked, but it seems like guests usegroup still can not see member profiles. Is there a work around for it?

I am not looking to make a new usergroup as it has to be the Guest usergroup

I believe it was intended that Can view board being false means no access to any of the forum at all. I'm not sure if we want to change that or not...

Seems the "Can view board" permission overrides
"Can view threads"
"Can search forums"
"Can view user profiles"

I can see this being a strange decision decided on in the early days of 1.8 and in my opinion it doesn’t make much sense for it to override the other settings.

I agree with @euantorano

If you can't view the board, then that should override other settings.
