It sounds like you are a bit of, let me explain...

The register take over message doesn't block anything but instead shows a warning message prompting guests to register (or informing them that they can't surf much longer depending on what you customize it to say).

The register block page is a stop page -- once on people can't view threads any longer and must register (or clear cookies) to get around it.

Both messages deal with thread viewing, both at determined by the number of thread views and either one can be used or both.

That make any more sense?

Installed but this does not work for me.

it does not show any message after viewing 5 threads and does not block views after 10, both are turned on, and there are no forum variables in the last entry on adminCp

why would it have conflicts with visitor messages 3.7 when these are really only notices.

should i uninstall the 3.7 visitor messages(notices) and re-install the 3.6 visitor messages version?

The 3.6 version won't work with 3.7 so downgrading doesn't help. We don't use notices in this addon so that isn't an issue either.

Can you send me the URL to your forum when the system is enabled?

*EDIT* When I log out to check that this works.. All my cookies are cleared.. is this a possibility why im not seeing this work ??

You can post it here or PM me, your preferance.

When you logout you lose your cookies but the LGV cookie will be started up when you visit again as a guest and starts counting down views from that point on.

The mod is intentionally built this way... The purpose of the LGV system isn't to stop people from viewing threads entirely but rather to prevent them from doing so easily. There's a lot of ways around any system, IP and database driven ones included and that was not my goal. Furthermore, with the IP system there's a lot of extra queries and load being added which are only necessary for the 0.01% of people who want to avoid registering and take the time to clear cookies to keep browsing for free.

The whole point here is to push people towards signing in/ signing up, not to build a truly unbeatable system.
