Are some forums supposed to be hidden from logged out users?

Hi,

I was surprised to see the 2 subforums on the Star Wars forum (Watto's junkyard, Factions) are not visible or accessible to logged out users.

Sorry, there is a problem

We could not locate the item you are trying to view.

Error code: 2F176/1

Wondering if this is a mistake, and if not, what's the rationale behind the decision? Visitors are unable to view the latest contest entries the way things are currently set up.

Yeah, different permissions for different users. For example, you need permission to see the Reviewers Academy subforum, and the Guest Section is not visible to *logged-in* users.

Just seems really weird to have contest builds featured on the homepage - and then deny a big proportion of Eurobricks visitors the opportunity to click through to see the actual post & the rest of the images. I'd have thought things like contests would encourage more people to sign up, but that won't happen if people can't even reach the contest forum or see the entries.
