How to prevent users from adding content? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i've been able site looking (almost) way want to, it's been long road. current struggle article lists. use feature showing site news, information, , use list product data , such. problem is, site allow users create new articles , can't figure out how make option go away.

at end of each of article lists, "new" icon appears. here's screenshot:

if go menu options --> article options, can set "show icons" "hide". replace little page icon word "new".

i don't want deal user registration on site @ all. there's no need it. information publicly viewable, i don't want able create new articles.

i've tinkered global settings, setting create privilege (and pretty else) deny public group, icon won't go away.

i've been told icon there if i'm logged in super user. fine, suppose, learned of problem when friend reviewing site me. there no login form on site anywhere way log in through /administrator page, have password. is, there no registered users on site. question is, how people able create content when have not logged in anything?

thoughts?

p.s. i'm running joomla 2.5.2.

p.m.s. site, if you're curious, http://www.jadeassistivedesign.com. problem occurs on news archive, projects , pages.

i ended changing use individual articles links posted within. is, rather using article list, i'm linking single article that's acting list - post links other articles in body of single article, , works charm.

this weird little "feature" of joomla, fortunately looks found workaround.

thanks.
