I currently get a message of “You must be logged in to reply to this topic.” whenever a visitor visits my forum. I would like visitors to be able to view all my forum posts but not be able to post without membership. Is this possible? We are using bbpress as a presale support forum so having visitors be able to see the forum content without registering is very important. Thanks guys

If the forum is public, and you don’t allow anonymous posting, then users should be able to see all topics and replies but not be able to post.
