How can non-registered guests make posts, with no moderation

I've looked all over the forum and wiki for help with this, and just cannot find the answer.

  1. I want users who are not WP users to be able to post topics and replies without moderation.
  2. Whenever someone posts a new topic or reply, I want to get an email.

I already set the 'guest' role to bypass both types of moderation; that doesn't seem to help.

Neither of these things are happening AND I cannot find out HOW to approve new posts because there doesn't appear to e a moderation queue or a notification setting. 

Plus, I posted a test topic and then deleted it. When I'm logged in, the deleted post does not show. When I am not logged in, the deleted post does show. HELP?!

Also I added the 'admin bar' plugin as was suggested to another user with a similar problem, and it doesn't appear to do or change anything. What is the 'admin bar' plugin supposed to do?

Ok one thing at a time. This explains moderation settings: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ions-work/

forum admin > Admins > Your admin options - you can turn on email notifications.

The Admin Bar is a tool that allows you, as a forum admin , to review every post that is made. From within the tool you can mark as read, approve (if in moderation) and also reply using the Quick Reply feature - as well as Delete posts.

Your post deletion issue sounds like it might be a caching issue? Do you have a cache plugin active by any chance?

Oh sorry - I thought you said you had already installed it. It's an SP plugin. You will need to download and install and activate.

I did already install it. But it doesn't appear to change or add anything to any view. Should I be seeing something that looks like an 'admin bar'? I don't.

Installed AND activated?

Under the option where you turned on the setting to recieve emails there is also a setting to display the admin bar? Maybe that is turned off? It should be on by default. It is a personal choice as some admins on the same site may not want to use it.

On the page Admin > Your Admin Options there is a box labeled "Your Admin Bar Options". Inside of that box is a single grey/green toggle labeled "Display the Simple:Press admin bar." It's green.

I see no admin bar. I do not know where to look for the admin bar or what it should look like. If you would send me a screenshot of what I'm looking for, that might help.

Caching is off.

Any other ideas?
