Look in admin panel, then Configuration...there are lots of options in there.

Also go to admin panel, forum admin, then permissions and choose a section, then click how you want them. Like for instance we have everything on registered hidden. So they have to be registered and signed in to see anything. There are other options too...like just registered..you have to play around with them and log out and whatnot..some of them are confusing.
