Okay, this should do the trick according to what your wishes were. You can totally forget worrying about setting Guest permissions for anything. You can revert all Guest permissions back to stock, and this modification alone will do the trick. Give it a shot and let me know if I got it right.

Open up your copy of ubbthreads.php in the root folder.

find:
PHP Code
	 // Does user have to be logged in?
		if (!isset($user['USER_ID']) || !$user['USER_ID']) {
			if (array_get($init, 'regonly', 0) == 1) {
				$fatal_error = true;
				$fatal_error_msg = "FATAL_NOT_LOGGED";
			} // end if
		} // end if
replace with:
PHP Code
	 // Does user have to be logged in?
		if (!isset($user['USER_ID']) || !$user['USER_ID']) {
			if (($ubb != "newuser") && ($ubb != "faq") && ($ubb != "boardrules") && ($ubb != "login") && ($ubb != "logout") && ($ubb != "start_page") && ($ubb != "adduser")) {
				$fatal_error = true;
				$fatal_error_msg = "FATAL_NOT_LOGGED";
			} // end if
		} // end if

find:
PHP Code
 if (isset($left_column_data['template'])) {
		smartyDisplay($left_column_data);
	} // end if
	if (isset($smarty_display['body'])) {
		// Need to set graemlin url based on the user's style
		$smarty->register_outputfilter("graemlin_url");
		smartyDisplay($smarty_display['body']);
	} // end if
	if (isset($right_column_data['template'])) {
		smartyDisplay($right_column_data);
	} // end if
replace with:
PHP Code
 if ((isset($user['USER_ID'])) && ($user['USER_ID'])) {
		if (isset($left_column_data['template'])) {
			smartyDisplay($left_column_data);
		} // end if
	} // end if
	if (isset($smarty_display['body'])) {
		// Need to set graemlin url based on the user's style
		$smarty->register_outputfilter("graemlin_url");
		smartyDisplay($smarty_display['body']);
	} // end if
	if ((isset($user['USER_ID'])) && ($user['USER_ID'])) {
		if (isset($right_column_data['template'])) {
			smartyDisplay($right_column_data);
		} // end if
	} // end if

Enjoy.
