I've configured read-only access to allow unregistered people to view topics but not replies (as shown in "read only access settings" in the attached file
But an unregistered user is still able to view replies as shown in "viewing replies"
Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem in how access rights are being managed?
Thanks, Graham
You should use "No Access" instead of "Read Only". "Read Only" means that user or guest can view and read. If you don't want them to read/view you should set them No Access.

But I modified the Read Only settings (as per screenshot in my original zip file) to preclude access to replies. Shouldn't that have done what I was hoping?
wpForo doesn't support topic subComponent restriction yet. We're currently improving this. If you want to close access to replies you should class access to Topic ass well. So please uncheck the View Forum and View Topic CAN too, in other words just use already configured read-only access. There is no other ways at the moment. The subComponent restriction will be available in a few releases.
Thanks Robert
Appreciate the guidance - and look forward to this additional functionality.
