CMS Making the CMS public
 

We have the forum blocked to non-members to make the place safe for members to be a less guarded about privacy.

We would like to have the CMS as the face of the site, non restricted read access.

I made the forum/content.php directed from the domain.org and gave access to non registered readers in the control panel but when you click on the link what you get unless you are a logged in user is the forum login page not the CMS. How do you keep the forum restricted to logged in users but let the CMS be open to everyone?

Is there anyway around this or should it be a bug?

Also is there anyway round links on the main page showing up as web addresses not hyperlinked words. Hyperlinks work okay in the main article.

Thanks for your help.
