I've noticed that the beta of the new forum only lets you view topics after you have signed in; is this just for the beta or will this be a permanent feature?

Basically, it allows posting in topics/threads. You're surfing the beta forum with an older browser, I guess.

Does anyone know if it will allow guests and people who don't have an account to view the forums without signing in?

It's under development mode ; Let theymos decide.
P.S. He'll do some micro updates for sure.

If guests and people who don't have an account could view the beta forums the Google spider would index them, and beta forum page links would start showing in Google searches. That might be why Theymos decided to only allow logged in users to view the beta.

doesn't google follow the robots.txt directives? Not that it's really my concern tough, anything Theymos decides is OK with me (on the subject of the new forum i might add)
