I dunno. Forced posting? Why should they register if you're going to force them to un-lurk whether they do or not? If you're taking a vote, I vote no.

Instead, you may want to consider one of the add-ons that force them to read a thread. Not the same thing, I know.

Thanks TED!! Your MOD is working fine in Vbulletin 4.0.6. But the problem is it is working only for forum threads. I have done some tweak (here) to make it work for blog section. But still struggling to enable it for CMS section. Please help!!

Love to see this working with vBulletin CMS articles as well ...

Would be willing to share in any cost to bring that functionality to this excellent mod... :)

Thanks! Installed!

Spiders and Bots is a serious worry for me and I'm sitting on the fence about this mod... I really would like to install this but I get alot of my traffic from search engines like Google.

So what can anyone tell me about this mod is it safe? or am I just worrying too much?

----- Update

I desided to give it a try and see if the mod works... Well I viewed over 10 post with second computer run IE8, FF, and Opera and still no message...

Correct. But then, if a lurker is really determined to view your forum, they can just delete their cookie. This isn't a security mod, it's just meant to encourage people to register for free.

Is this working on 4.07? It seems not but maybe i make a mistake somewhere.

This is very important modification.
i installed this modification for about 6 months before. It increases the registration but i think the alert page must have the registration form like the attachment which is on facebook homepage. it forces the registration.
