    It's all done automatically, they pay for a year's subscription which runs out after 12 months, they can also opt to auto renew at this point I agree about needing something to differentiate between random page visitor and registered user - we do send out a 'what you have missed' email every...

    A paid subscriber can see everything - their user group is 'Subscriber' - 'registered' and 'guests' can only see up to thread titles with links to subscribe to see more :) Subscribers also get member discounts on events etc (we are building value for subscribers as fast as we can but these...

    Yes!! This worked :D - but I'm using the Registered group access for the paid subscribers (standard registered people can still see the forums and thread titles but not the content - they can see the content when they upgrade to Subscriber (y) Phew. Thanks soooo much, I hated my forum and...

    Sounds like a good idea - how do I get that please? I have read the Xenforo guide but it isn't clear to me on there, is there another more detailed resource anywhere? Thank you :)

    I'm desperately trying to allow everyone to view forums and threads titles, but I don't seem to be able to stop non registered people being able to see everything! Just registered people can now see the forums and thread titles but the non registered / guests can see everything including the...

    Exactly! But if I change the view permissions you'll be able to see everything as if you are a paid up subscriber 😭

    Thank you, I've just looked and the unregistered has view node and view threads by others set to yes, but I still get the you must register message when I log out and look as a new user!

    Ughhhh people who have not registered 'guests' can either see everything thing or nothing! It is currently set as follows: general permissions - view - yes, view threads by others - yes - they can see everything including the thread content If I take the general view off they can see nothing...

    PROGRESS! I deleted the 'lurking' group - no change I then changed the general permissions to yes for 'view' and 'view node' and you can now see the forums and their threads but not the thread content which is a whole lot better! I need to review the permissions to ensure that new users can...

    OK I have been and checked the permissions for the Lurking and Registered and made sure they both are set to view threads by others - I even changed that on the Unregistered / Unconfirmed group and still no joy :'( What happens if I delete a user group (Lurking)? I can get my IT man to do a...

    The blue is also the club colour - all the merchandise is that colour, we are a quality group and hopefully that colour is a good quality one ;) (we are UK based too) This club has been going for nearly 20 something years so want to keep it familiar, but thank you for the critique, we are...

    The Lurking UG is historical - I wondered the same! Maybe I'll delete that usergroup..

    Thank you - if I have either of those permissions set to yes the user can see everything! I have them set to 'no' to restrict what can be seen but I want them to be able to see the forum thread titles I thought I had it set up correctly a while ago but when someone I know went on without...
