Link foruns are created, but have simplified permissions.
IIRC, it was possible to set its permissions on the Forum Admin > Permissions area. It isn't possible to do that anymore, as the link forum do not appear as a forum in the permissions drop down menu.
One way to solve this is to change the permissions of the link forum directly on the db. To do that you'll have to use phpmyadmin or any other tool of the sort. You should edit auth_post, auth_edit and auth_reply to 1 (I believe that's the value to registered, check other foruns values on your db to confirm that).
I remember having that trouble once, but I believe I was able to solve it using the permission area. I went there today and I wasn't able to do that. I'll try to remember what I did the last time, but for now, phpmyadmin will do the trick.
Thanks for the suggestion but its more of a band-aid than a solution. If I do what you suggest then guests will not be able to view/use the redirects and I dont want that. I'm looking for a solution that allows guests to view/use redirects as they should be able to but without a security hole that allows them to make a post.
On a side note, you can edit redirect permissions in "ACP/Forum Admin/Management +". Choices are All, Reg, Private, Mod, Admin. If you choose private you then configure it in "ACP/Group Admin/Permissions".
