I’m still in the process of setting up a new forum on a membership site.  We use YourMembers for access control and all seems to be functioning properly on the test site except that the message below persists: 

Warning – The default user group for guests is undefined! Please visit the SP options admin page, members tab and set the default user group

I have visited the SP Options page, members tab, but do not see any option to set a default user group there.  In addition, “guest” will be a No Access group anyway, as only logged in members will be able to access the forum at all.    Am I missing something, or should I just ignore this message?

Thanks!!

Susan

assuming you are now running 5.1, the location has actually changed…

go to forum – usergroups – map users to usergroup… and there make sure you have a default usergroups for guests to get when they visit the site… its how the guest permissions are determined…

I will open a ticket to get that message updated to the new location…
