Navigate to user permission page (at admin/people/permissions) and give anonymous users the same permissions as others for :
- Access discuss this links
- Initiate discuss this topics

Thank you, but the link for me is "access or register", not discuss link. I would like that anonymous users can read the threads in the forum but they can't add comments.
In this way, if someone doesn't want to register, people can at least see the contents.

Have given the permission like I suggested ? Did it work with those permissions ?

Yes, I have modified the permission but the button that appears is the "discuss-login" but i'd want the same button for registered users, so they can read discussions..

Have you tried to create a discussion and to add some comment ? The discussion should display below the node so anonymous can read it, but the button will still display "register to participate" since the anon cannot actually talk in the discussion. Do you have tried with a node having a few comments in the discussion ?

Yes, I have tried but the result is the button "log-in or register to access ( new/1 total)" with no link to the page..only log-in or register

Hi !

It seems to work as designed with 7.x-1.0 version :
- screen-1.png shows you that for anonymous, the discussion is displayed but not the link "log in to participate" when the according permissions are NOT given.
Discussion is displayed to anon

- screen-2.png shows that if you give appropriate permissions, anon can still see the discussion but are ask to log in to participate.
Anon sees discussion but need login to participate

It look like no discussion is existing yet for this node. Remember, discussion is not egual to comments. You can have comments on the node, but no discussion on the forum. If you want comments and discussion to be the same, check "close comments" for this node, so that only the discussion is displayed and user only discuss the node, not comment it. (I will offer in 2.x the possibility to make actually both being the same)

Try to create a discussion yourself (you can remove it after the test), you should see that the discussion will be displayed under the node along with comments.

Thank you very much! Now it works! Sorry... I have many fields in my page, but the discussion is gone first, now... I'd want to put it under all the other fields. Can you help me please?
In your photos, discussion is under the text..

If you are using the version 7.x-1.0 discussion link is not a field. So you can't change it's order unless you use the Display Suite module (which seems to have compatibility issue with DiscussThis, I have to investigate more).

This is why I made the 7.x-2.x-dev which is not yet perfectly finished. In this version, discuss this link is a field, thus need to be applied to each "content type" you want. Thus you can change the order of appearance in the content type "view" area like any other fields.

Check if pending patch are available for this dev version, for instance :
#2166835: Can't check any boxes on adm page
