When my forum was based on the vBulletin 3 series, I had a quick registration plugin installed that displayed a tasteful, low-profile registration form on the front page to unregistered visitors. The board averaged about 20 to 25 new legitimate registrations a day.
After the site was migrated to vBulletin 4.1.*, the old quick registration hack no longer worked. I haven't been able to find any kind of decent quick registration hack/plugin that places a registration form on the front page. I found something on another site, but it's Web 1.0 UGLY. I spent a long time tweaking the template, and I don't want to ruin the appearance of the site with some form that looks like it's something out of some guestbook script from 1996.
Even though I have a notice displayed to guests encouraging them to register, the number of new users plunged to two to four a day just after the migration. The formless notice just doesn't cut it.
Is there a way to incorporate a registration form into a notice that appears to guests?
