This has come up before and again today that when members look to see who is browsing the Dungeon they will at times see that a Guest is viewing Another Zetaboards funny? What happens is this (and anyone can test by logging out and trying): a Guest is anyone not logged in as a member and they can see the URL for the Dungeon http://w11.zetaboards.com/UK_Debate_Mk_2/forum/4115130/ However all they will see is a screen inviting them to login. It appears that at this stage they will be registered as a viewing Guest but not actually see any Dungeon content Confusing? That's forum software for you. They all have their quirks but actually in this case I think Zeta have it right. I have no idea what phpBB and SMF do in such cases. |

No When we are not logged in the system has no way of knowing we are moderators or members so just gives us Guest access |

PhpBB (on the linux forum i used to frequent) used to throw me an error if you tried to click a link to somewhere forbidden, and wouldn't show the for a on the index. |

Did the test! No! I could not see the url or reference link to the Dungeon. Nothing to see there at all. Things to consider - which operating system, W10, W7, Mac, may have a peculiarity. Another remote possibility is Zeta Admins themselves may have the keys to unlock content. Buggered if I know. |
