Default hidden forums

I wonder why are some forums not visible without being logged-in? New products and offers being one such forum. It makes no sense to me.

Mostly just a config issue. There may have been some thoughts that some areas should not be visible to the casual passer-by but certainly "New products" would not fit that bill...

I'll take a look later and see what makes sense to release to the wild hordes of the general Internet populace and what may best be kept private - we don't want to frighten any Nyctophobes casually sauntering past after all ...

Cheers, Bob.

Being constantly logged in whilst browsing this forum as a whole, I didn't realise that some parts were not visible 'to the casual passer-by.'

Am I missing out on something extraordinary by not delving deep into the woodwork of the forums, which as a member I am allowed to view? If only I knew what I was look for. Or, is it just files of a really technical nature being held back?

Either way, I can't think of anything that I would like to see on this forum that would need 'privatising' to the point of almost secrecy.

Just wondering really but it has peaked my curiosity enough to ask...

OK - all forums should now be visible to people (and bots) who are not logged in. You will still need to log in to post tho.

Looking at the forums what were hidden behind login, it was mostly those that have large files (the user maunual downloads) or were specific to forum users (meet-ups and sales/wanted). On reflection, there is not much point keeping them locked down so I opened all forums to view for people not logged in.

Cheers, Bob.

My curiosity has also now been satisfied.

Many thanks once more.
