Forums uses permisions in an unusual way. I've seen this same problem with guest students in a dotLRN instalation if they can't read private data. Setting them as non-guest solved the problem back then.

Maybe granting the read_private_data on your forums instance to the Unregistered Visitor could do the trick.

Derick,

Thanks for the hint. I'll give it a try and report back.
On a more general note, why do we use this sort of obscure procedures that defy all logic???

Cheers
Ben

Well the "read private data" setting seems to do the trick.

Only if you click on unregistred visitor, you get this error.
