PMed you Leefish!

Thanks for the help Vanz! I've already done that, as well as ensuring the permissions were set for Guest to post from the Guest user group.
Ok, I PMd you - it looks like its a plugin as once I disabled all plugins I could post as a guest.
Okay thanks Leefish!

Per my PM reply I disabled KeyCaptcha and still couldn't post as a guest.

Want to go down the list of plug-ins? Or have another guess on which one it is?

Edit: I also thought it might have been the DOB on registration plug-in but it isn't. So we can cross that off the list.
If you can run the board NO plugins - do that - check if guest posting works - then turn them ON one at a time. Check after each one is activated.
LOL I did the opposite I just turned them off and back on one by one.

It was the age restriction on thread prefix plug-in that was affecting it. It was an easy fix though I only enabled it for certain boards instead of the site as a whole and it works fine now. So I can run that plug-in without it affecting the guest friendly forum.

Thanks so much Leefish for your help!! And thanks to everyone else that tried!
