Hey Ted,

Any updates on this?

The issue is that the block page is just an error message. The option would be to either hard code some changes in or redirect to a "new" error page which could be custom tracked but which adds to the amount of files and templates on your site.

I have been looking at this mod for a while now. I was wondering how many of the new members gained by this mod are actually active in the forums? Have you notice an increase of inactive uses in proportion to new users?

very nice
thanx

Is this the hack that doesn't work well with welcome headers, or was it the old version of welcome headers that had problems with this?

I'm using the 3.8 version (notices) of welcome headers...

Every version of this modification has worked with Welcome Headers since it was first released.

OK thanks, I must have misunderstood the instructions where it says:

As a general rule, anyone not using the limited guest viewing system and not planning to do advanced changes is likely best of migrating to the notices system and to this version of the addon.

As it says you are best off not using this version and limited guest viewing however you certainly can. The issue is that notices are global and may appear on a page where you have limited guest viewing messages as well. This doesn't break anything -- it's just less ideal for your users.

Using the older version of this addon the two do not run at the same time.

Thank you Ted...works like a charm!

When we try to use this it causes our forum database to crash.

I keep getting database errors that seem to suggest a missing table. I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but here is what it says:


I tried reinstalling but same problems happened. When we remove the hack the forum starts to work again.

How should we troubleshoot this? :confused:
