We are having trouble preventing "Anonymous" people from posting in UBB.

We changed the permissions:
Can Reply to Existing Topcis:

Administrators 1
GlobalModerators 1
Moderators 1
Users 1
Guests 0
Members 1

But anonymous people/people who have not registered can still respond to posts as "anonymous"

What are we missing?

I did not clear the cache. Will do so immediately.

We have a predator who needs to be prevented from posting. This us urgent.

Is there a way to globally set the permissions so everyone has to register in order to post, instead of having to go forum by forum to change the settings?

You can go through Group Management, and click on the Forum link on the same line as the Guest Group.

That will allow you to turn off the ability for guests to post in all forums on one screen.

You can set up one forum perms and use the copy perms feature or go to group permissions and go to can reply and set to 0 for each forum for guests to get it done quick.
