Hi,

When a users at my site create a new topic the permissions tick box's have both members and ananymous ticked by default, how can this be changed.

Cheers.

seems to me that at the time a topic is being created, the boxes to which you refer are on the same page and can just be unchecked.

only two mouse clicks

perhaps i am misunderstanding what you intend

You are right, but my site is for logged in users only and some of my users are daft and forget to un-tick the box's.

Anyway, i found this hack but do not know what scripts it referes to.

link to hack

can anyone tell me..

because you are concerned with the topic, search for the phrase mentioned in the hack within the admin/topic.php file.
and change "perm anon" and/or "perm members" accordingly. I would leave the rest alone.

thanks, found the file, also going to change the admin/stories.php

On a side note: If your users are "daft" (your words, not mine ...) then maybe you shouldn't give them Admin access in the first place ...

bye, Dirk
