Are all forum posts here public?

Not counting the posts made on a group forum as a group member, are all other forum posts able to be seen by regular site members?

Yes of course. Unless they put you on ignore, they’ll see your posts.

Yes, all posts posted to our public forums are public. The Premier Poohbah forum is private and not open to members unless they've done one of the things that grants them access to that forum.

Social groups (and social group forums) are also public by default, unless the owner of the group has made it private.

Ty. There's no problem but I had reason to ask.

Some other forums are invisible as well. Whenever I visit the site without logging in, the distraction and social group forums are not visible, along with the poobah forum.

I think back on PsychCentral more was visible. I'm sure I remember that. Without signing in a lot more was available for non-members. [Been a member off and on since 2014.] Maybe there was eventually an issue with confidentiality or privacy somehow and management at some point limited access to non-members?
