Is it possible on the phpBB forum to make it so that only a login box is showing on the main page for guests? So it would be like, it wouldnt show any topics or anything (unless your already logged in), all it would show was the banner and a register/login box.

Hope it makes sense to you, I tried finding an example on the internet, but I didn't know what to type in Google as the search criteria. But I know I've seen it before on other forums.

Although possible, you can't do that with Forumer. That would need you to edit some core files to re-arrange your forum around, but you can't do that. Sorry.

Can't just make a log in box appear but you can set all of the individual forum permissions so only registered viewers can view them. Forum Admin>Permissions. Set the forums to "Registered Hidden" and then guests can't see them.

Yea, I tried that before, but I didn't like how it looked after. It just looked like a forum with no topics, lol. So what I did right now is I just set it so anyone can see the topics on the homepage, but if you click on one, it will take you to a register box. It's close enough I guess.
