Hi guys,

Here is a forum I set up based on a free application: http://www.cn-knitwear.com/ocean/forum/forums.asp?
User name: guest
Password: guest

Admin user name: admin
password: admin

I'd like to make a few improvements:
1) Allow users to get into the forum without having to log in first, but disable the "new topic" and "compose reply" function.
2) Set different access levels for forums. For the first two forums, only users with access level 2 and above can access. Users with access level1 can only read but not post "new topic" or "compose reply". Anomymous users are allowed to read.
For the third forum, users with access level 1 can post new topic or reply.

Currently there are four access levels in the application:
accesslevel = null or 0 -- anonymous users that are not logged in

accesslevel = 1 -- (member) these users can access all application (user) pages and modify some data

accesslevel = 2 -- (editor) these users can access most of the 'admin_' pages

accesslevel = 3 -- (admin) these users can access all of the 'admin_' pages including user and category management

Please advise how I can achieve these. Thanks.

Cinderella
