Guests can't view forums but perms set OK (I think)

[Preds]

I've checked all my usergroup perms and my indivisual forums perms, and guest should be able to view my forums, but for some reason all that comes up is the header and the footer. Any idea what I might have done wrong? The board does have several hacks installed, so I suppose this could be a hack issue, but can someone point me in the right direction to look?

FWIW, the same header and footer appear on my vBadvanced portal as well.

The portal is located at http://predsff.com and the forums are at http://predsff.com/forums

Anybody have some ideas on what is wrong?

Does the same thing happen with the default vB files and templates? Unfortunately we really can't provide support for forums running hacked code.

To be honest I never checked.. but the code is indeed hacked now LOL. I'll try over at vBorg.

Thanks.

OK, I'm completely lost...

I've tried reverting all the modified templates, particularly ForumHome and the Index templates to the original vB templates. I've even reverted the pre-hacked adv_index.php file and vB's index.php file. No matter what I do unregistered users still can only see the header and footer but no content on both my vBadvanced page and my main forum page.

I've checked all the permissions I can find. I have the "unregistered / not logged in" users group setup to view forums and view threads created by others. I've also given them perms to vote on Polls. I even double checked each individual forum as well to make sure I wasn't overriding the group perms.

All to no avail. Does anyone have a clue as to why my guests can't view more than the header and footer on my main forum page and my vBadvanced page?

HELLLLP!!!!

Thanks

As I said we can't provide official support for hacked forums. You can either remove the hacks, or you can set up a test forum with no hacks and if you can duplicate the problem with the default templates and files, then fill out a support ticket.
