Brilliant downloading!

You rock!!! Thanks man!

To those of you wondering, I used this on 3.6 and google still indexed me along with other search engines!

EDIT: What is this possibility of duplicating messages?

If you use the notices system and show a message to guests it would also be possible to have a limited guest viewing message show at the same time, as both messages would likely be similar in nature, this would be duplication. If no do not use notices, use welcome headers 3.6 version or do not use the LGV message option this does not apply.

It doesnt really bother me if it tells them to register in the header and LGV. Course the way I have it set up it tells them HEY your views that you can use are exceeded, but wait register and view all you want". I only have that enabled in LGV I don't have the register warning thing.

Ive had the 3.6 version installed on my 3.7 forum for a few weeks now. Registrations have gone through the roof, however members and moderators are starting to complain that they are not happy about this system.

Ive got it set to view 10 pages (150 posts). Im all for it tbh, although starting to have doubts due to the complaints coming in.

$lgvmessage

was clearer at the end of the template is abit vague!

Step 3) Template Modification
  1. If you plan to take advantage of the Register Take-Over Message which is used to encourage users to register before completely denying them thread viewing access, you will need to make one simple modifications to your templates.

    From your Admin Control Panel go to Styles & Templates --> Style Manager and select Edit Templates from the drop down list. Double click the Navigation/ Breadcrumb Templates option and then double click the navbar template. At the very end of the template add the code: $lgvmessage Save the template and repeat the process for each top level style you have.

Thanks for the feedback but to be frank, it's listed as it's own step in the instructions with the template name and variable in red. After years of working on sites and writing documentation I'm fairly certain that anyone who reads the install file will find it (as evidenced by the fact that only a handful of people in the thousands of install in this and my other addons ever have an issue getting it in).

I think the real issue is that people have become very much use to plugin-only addons and skip instruction files unless things don't work right. :D

Great, that's exactly what's in the install guide. Thanks again for your feedback.
