There is an option to suppress welcome headers with limited guest viewing, toggle it off (or on if it's already off).

That did the trick, I thought it would of disabled the limited guest viewing... but it is still enabled.

Thank you! =)

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.

Perceived? Nice shot.
This mod works great, but it does dilute.

Obviously any site-wide copy is going to have an impact how what the spiders see, how it impacts your rankings is a matter of debate but that's not really the point you're getting at.

If the mod works great for you, disabling it or using it on only one page would seem unwise. Why not try the vbSEO recommendation and turn your guest message (which is all the spiders see) into an image?

Nope. The reason the option exists is that you now have the possibility of showing two similar messages if someone triggers the limited guest viewing system. My suggestion would be to create a short message for limited guest viewing as the welcome header will already give them an intro to the site.

Is there a header for users that have only posted once? I'd like there to be a searate message for users with only 1 post. :)

Welcome Headers is only meant to be an example of what you can do... you can and should be customizing it with messages and new conditionals that make sense for your forum.

I don't know how to do that. Do I have to go into the templates and type my own code? If so, can you just tell me what I'd need for users who only have 1 post please?

Yes you would need to go into the template and edit the very basic html & vb conditional code. There's already a message that checks for post count so you can more or less copy that and change the post number and resulting message.

Thank you. It took me a while to figure out, because I was trying:
Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[posts]=1
When it should have been
Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[posts]<2
That's wierd though, because you would think that the message would show up if you had no posts, because 0 is less than 2, but I guess the other header overrides it?
