Hello!
I have fresh installed WordPress and Simple:Press Forum 3.1.3. Created forums groups, forums, added permissions for user groups, added permission for guests to read-only. Checked as registered member - works fine. Checked as guest - “There are No Forums defined in this Group”.
I've turned on ability to write without registering but still same.
Tried to add new group, new forum, new post in it as admin, added full-control permission for guest for this group and forum. Same. There are No Forums defined in this Group.

Please help!
Thank you.
Miko

Go to the forum Options > Users tab. is the option checked to 'Allow Guest Posting'? This is an option that will probably be removed in 3.2 as permissions can control this but at the moment you will need to check this as well.
If that isn't the problem - come back and we'll think again.

Nope. I tried it but still no forum groups =(

Then it surely has to be the permission settings. Double check each forum. have you actually assigned a 'guest' user group at forum level?
If you have the I need to wait for Mr Papa to come along and do some troiubleshooting. But check each group AND forum for user group assignments.

I've checked all pervissions and even added new forum group, new forum in it, new message in forum and gave full control rights to guests to entire new forum group and checked it with forum permissions, everything ok but guests can't see groups.
The problem is that I have russian localization (Translated by Кактус Кактусов) of the forum, shall I reinstall the English version first?
Thank you!

Can you do what Mr Papa asked in post 5 above? PM me and him a link to your site and an admin account we can check with?
(of course you'll have to register to be able to use the PM system!)

okay, got your PM and I think I have this one figured out… its a language localization issue… sort of…
The main problem comes about because of a change we made in 3.1.3 with usergroups… prior versions had the three default usergroups Guests, Members and Moderators… We did not allow those usergroups to be modified or deleted… we had several requests to allow those user group names to be localized as well as modifiable and deletable… those changes came with 3.1.3
you took us up on the offer and deleted the Guests usergroup and created your own usergroup localized to your native German language… Problem is that there is a db string comparison, that cannot be localized, in the code looking for a Guests user group… when its not found, non register visitors to your site basically get no access…
how to fix? A true fix is gonna be too hard to detail here in the forum and will take some thought as to the best fix… It will definitely be corrected in 3.2…
For now, for anyone having this issue, I would make the following fix…
Go to file sf-globals.php and look for the following code at line 267
$ugid = $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT usergroup_id FROM “.SFUSERGROUPS.” WHERE usergroup_name='Guests'”);
you will need to change the value of 'Guests' to be the name of the usergroup you want assigned to non-registered visitors to your site. If you ever change this group again before a permanent fix in 3.2, you will need to change it again… This will will likely become an option in the admin panel similar to the option for default user group for members…
of course, another fix would be to change the name of the user group for guests back to 'Guests', but then you lose the localization…
I also have to admit, I have not tested this change, but I believe it will work… please let us know if it does…

Great, it works! Thank you very much.
But, I have another problem too: The .png icons will not be shown (at the default icons and german icons too). Only if I change all icons into .gif images, they will be shown in my forum. But that couldn't be the right way.
Can you help me with that problem too?
Thanks.

I can see all of your icons. They are scattered a bit because there is a conflict with your theme CSS. Something in your theme CSS is floating all images left so youy could do with racking that down. But they are all being rendered OK…
What browser are you using?

I checked Firefox3, IE6 and Opera9 (with win2k).
On your site I see all icons with all browsers. At my site Firefox and Opera ignore the icons and IE show the standard icon for not existing images.

Sorry - I was looking at someone elses site because you have not given me a link. So ignore my comments above (post 13)
First of all check that the icon folders are where they are supposed to be ../simple-forum/styles/icons/icon_folder_name
next check that there ARE icon files in those folders.
Go to Admin > Forum Options > Style tab and make sure an icon set is selected.
Flush your browser cache.
Re-load the forum.
If you still don't get any icons apeparing then give me a link to your forum page.

I make all steps you suggest. But I had this problem still I re-install the forum today and before I changed from the default (english) version to the german version with german icons.
here my domain: http://www.brandt-aktuell.de

Curious. I tried to load one of your icons dorectly into the browser and received this message:
The image “http://www.brandt-aktuell.de/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/styles/icons/SPF-31-dark-de-icons/login.png” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Not very helpful and I seem to be getting it on all of your icons. I do not, of course, know what is wrong with them. But they appear to be corrupt in some way or at least unreadable from your server.
Can you open them on your desktop?
One point - how did you copy them to your server? if you used an ftp progtam it might be worth copying them up again and using binary mode…
