Hi, can anyone help with this one please. Everytime I change the Guest rights on a forum (say to remove access) the forum then disappears from both the forums settings page and the front end. I can get them back by changing the access code in myPhp but I need to find a way to change the guests rights on some of my forums before I can make my site live. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi @richp,
Sorry, for the late response. I'm sorry, but I don't follow you we'll. Please explain using some screenshots.
I'd suggest you read this article:

Hi @sofy, thanks for getting back to me. It's difficult to post an imagine, but i will try and explain better.
I am creating multiple forums under a few category's on a new site. Each forum has different access rights, with some of the forums only being accessible to registered users / members.
To do this, I am using the access rights controls on the right hand side of the individual forum settings page, changing Guest access from say "read only" to "no access".
Once i save the changes, and navigate back to the dashboard > forums > forums page, the forum that I have just changed the Guest access rights to has disappeared entirely from the list of forums. It is also no longer visible on the front end.
I don't have this problem when i change any other user rights, only the Guest User.
Hope that makes more sense.
Thanks

Could you please record some video of the issue.
