How to make forum and its thread accessible to public by default?

Well i want to make all my forums and their threads accessible to public, so that they can see them without regsitering.
But they should not be able to post publically. Just see them.

For now i have to edit each and every forum to make it accessible to public , and i have 100's of forum threads.

How to make them accessible to public by default?
Please help!

You need to edit each forum board individually making access to public.

Well, if he want them all to be visible for public - then I think he can run this code once from a Custom Page:


This will make all forum boards visible for public. Maube it's easiere to do it this way - and then set the access for those boards that should not be visible for public.

That was many! Pls. post a link to your forum so I can see your "big forum". :)

100's of forum threads. Not 100's of forum boards right?

Ahh yes ofcourse! LOL that gives a better understanding.. ;)

@ Smokeman , regarding the code u said to put me in the custom page -

Just preview it in a custom page;)

And that was many forum boards and 100's of sub-forums :o

Hooray!:D;)
My problem is solved .
I added the code to my custom page and previewed it & voila all my forums are visible to public, that too without registering.
Thank you very much for helping me, @smokeman, @ Lippke

You saved hours of my valuable time. You can watch my forum page again to see how big it looks now.(http://vyaadhi.x10.mx/forum/index.php)

Thank you once again.

By the way now that you have solved my problem, I have become a little greedy.
Although i will post my request separately, but in short i will be asking for the below.

"A box over that appears when we hover a mouse over any forum-threads and it shows the first post of that thread."
