vb.org Archive - Board Optimization - Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates

This issue has come up a few times in the past... from what I recall some forums don't increment the variable welcome headers looks at correctly. I'll dig into this tomorrow and get back to you with something to see if that's what's going on your site.

Great hack, I have it installed
One question

How can I get it to display the message when they are viewing a thread?

They see it on the main page, and also in main forums.
But when viewing a thread... it does not show up.
And with all of my guests I get mainly viewing threads, I really need this there.

Yes but your forumindex already has a welcome header. Adding welcome headers to only one page is a waste of time and defeats the entire purpose (and benefit) of the system.

I am trying to deal with SEO issues here.

Well you'll have to weigh your perceived understanding of SEO versus effectively communicating to your visitors. It's a tradeoff every site makes. If your end thought is that welcome headers should not be on every page then by all means, don't use it. You can easily customize the default welcome header that comes with vbulletin for your forumhome page.

Do you have Limited Guest Viewing installed?
