for some reason i cant seem to disable guest posting, under member options "Disallow members not logged in to post as guests" is lit green but members that aren't logged in are still being given permission to post, has anyone else experianced this?

That option has nothing to do with guests posting... please see our codex on how accesses and permissions work: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ng-access/
for the record, that option controls whether or recognized user is allowed to also post as a guest...

I double checked with the codex and as far as I can see everything is as it should be but guests can still post :/

so please show us the permissions with image of the forum in question (forum - forums - manage forums)... and then show the permissions set that is applied for guests to that forum (forum - permissions - manage permissions)...
no caching plugins, right?
and do you have a link to your site for us to look?

I've had a chat with some of the admin and we don't recall the post button showing for non registered members before the last update which i perform on friday just passed to the latest version. not sure if that will be relevant. With re to cache plugins we utalise W3TC but the forum page is excluded from the cache and all caches are cleared after software updates.

I am seeing errors on the page using Firefox. I am also seeing the page being mimified and cached. It also appears you are using a custom theme that may not be updated with changes to match the latest version.
I would start with disabling W3 and mimifying and then check to see what is working and what is not.

yes, if using w3tc, you must disable caching for all cache types you are using... so you enter the exclusion on each cache type page - not just once...
and as Brandon says, minify will fail on quite a few plugins especially sp because the js files are already minified...

thanks for the info, took at look at the cache and think i have added the exceptions to the properly now but not 100% (is there any guidance documention for this?)
As for the error I /think/ that i have managed to fix the issue, im not quite sure why its worked but by aplying a "no access" criteria on guests and then reassigning the "read only" criteria to each forum again that seems to have cleaned up the issue.
Will know for sure in a couple of days but will monitor it over the next few days and report back if that hasn't fixed so that you know

My personal opinion is that if you are not an expert in how caching works that you are better off not using W3TC. It has a lot of options that can be setup but you better know what you are doing when before setting them up or changing them.
Unless you have at least a few thousand pageviews a day you are actually better of without a caching plugin, especially when doing page updates and testing things.
If I can make a suggestion. I would deactivate any cache plugins and get your site and forum doing what it should and then look into a cache plugin.
