Hi,
I installed TF Forum free.
When a user posts a topic, a Joomla user is automatically created. This user doesn't have a password. To post a reply, you must log in.
Is it possible to disable the creation of a Joomla user when posting a topic?
A Joomla user is only created when the user wants to reply.
Best regards

Hello
As the component doesn't store user details, a new user is created.
- Either you can make registration compulsory before creating new topic by restricting topic creation to registered users.
- Or you can send email to users with the password or procedure on how to reset/create password.
