Thank you, nice mod.

Hi Ted

Just what I'm now looking for but...

Is it possible to make this work for Registered Members only so to encourage them to pay for a Subscription?

Cheers!:)

He did already...read back through the thread. I will try and find it.


EDIT
It starts around here:

Ok, I finally got around to turning ON this option.

Once enabled, I logged out from my regular username on the board and left myself in "guest" state viewing the forum home. I then started looking at threads to build towards the warning count I had set to 5. Once there, the message appeared suggesting I should register.

I then kept viewing threads working towards the "block" setting of 10. Once there, sure enough, I got the message that my time was up and I had to register, just like it's supposed to. I assume a "cookie" got set someplace.

So, here's my problem....

I logged in under my regular registered username and did some work. I then logged out again to make sure that I wasn't able to continue using this same computer (due to cookie) as an unregistered guest. I expected to see the same message saying my time was up and I needed to register, but instead, it let me into viewing more threads?

So, just a guess, but I thought I'd ask. Does the "guest block" cookie get cleared when I log in from this same machine as a Registered Member?

Thanks for any feedback...

When you logout your cookies are ALL cleared including the cookie this addon uses. This is not intended to stop people from being able to view threads if they work at, it's just a little bump in the road.

So, again, just for clarity (I can be slow .. :D)

After a guest user gets blocked because he exceeded the views specified, all he has to do to start the viewing cycle all over again, is to shut down his browser on the machine he's using, then restart it.

Doing that causes the cookie that was set by your mod to deleted, so in essence, this mod only works as along as the user says in a current browser session. Correct?

If so, it's too bad a cookie can't be set that causes the machine not to be able to view more at all, unless it was specifically cleared by the machine user manually?

My apologies if I've misunderstood how the cookie operates...

Thanks again for your work....

It's not a session based cookie so no, he would have to clear his cookies, login or do something to remove the cookie. Just closing a browser is not enough.

thanks for this install

Understood ... :up:
