Bug Unable To Register on Closed Forum
- Status
Ok I've check your site out and I'm completely confused. Is the ability to close off your entire site unless someone logs in a part of native vB functionality or is it from an add-on?
Regardless, I'll need credentials to your site to fix this:
Could you please create and PM me with a temporary FTP and AdminCP account?
For security reasons, we recommend you create a new FTP account only for DBTech support, then disable or delete it after we have both confirmed the issue has been solved and there are no further issues.
The same applies to AdminCP accounts; they should ideally be temporary accounts created for us only. If we have created an account on your site already, you can optionally boost that account to Administrator and then de-admin this account once the issue has been solved.
If you use a .htaccess password protection for your AdminCP directory, it is recommended that you create a new authorised user for DBTech and remove this user once the issue has been solved.
Please test any temporary accounts you create to ensure that the FTP account has access to the forum files, and that the AdminCP account can access the administrative controls for the product we are assisting you with.
Ensuring this is all in order before submitting the information will significantly speed up the process of assisting you. We will alert you via PM if there's any issues with the login information you have provided.
When sending the PM, for your security you should also un-tick the "Save a copy in my Sent Items folder" checkbox. When the access details have been received, we will delete the PM from our inbox. Ensuring you have not kept a copy of the PM reduces the risk of security breaches.

Hello,
I've found the source of the issue. It is related with the "Can View Forum" permission disabled. It prevents necessary branches of my code from executing because their respective do branches aren't in the "allowed" list (which can not be changed or overriden).
I'll be releasing a fix for this shortly once I've found the most appropriate method and have tested its functionality.
