Users not being able to dismiss "Message" even when allowed dismissing option

imahbub

Hello, I have a little forum made with Vanilla forum. The problem is, I have set “Message” from dashboard > moderation > message. I have allowed dismissing ability as you can see here:

And this works, in my end as you can see.

It shows that cross in the corner. But take a look at this when a user sees it:

There is no cross icon in the corner.

So if anyone knows how to solve it and enable that dismiss / cross icon for everyone, please help me by guiding me. Thank you so much for your attention. Have a great day.

Additional info :

Vanilla forum version 3.3,

URL : https://teamfoss.xyz,

Feature affected : Message (dashboard >Moderation >message),

Is this fatal? : No.

Not sure right now, but it might be that guests can't dismiss messages, but users can. Do you have a normal member account that you can test?

:( So only members can dismiss it? Guests can't do it?

As I said: not sure, but you can test it quite easily...

Yes, only logged in users can dismiss messages as far as I can tell. I'm guessing the dismissal gets stored in the user table, so guests wouldn't have anywhere to store the message status.

If you need a dismissable message to motivate guests to register, this plugin of mine might be what you are looking for:
