It worked for me when viewing your thread on your forum. Just refreshed several times and I was blocked from viewing and urged to register or sign in.

i dont have this template

nav_bar template, is this only for 3.6.3 ?

Thank you. I just corrected the problem, it was all about step#3, which I forgot to apply :)

This mod is very nice in letting people in for some time then politely telling them to register, which is great for a little forum. While for large ones, I guess it will be okey to block guests upon their first visit.

Some might clear their browsers as a work around but they will still have to register not to lose every thing each time they visit such forum.

I would suggest adding an "O.K." button to the "Register Block" forwarding visitors to the register form like this:

"O.K." -> (Register)
"Cancel" -> (Go to Index)

The template is navbar. The plugin will work in 3.5+ although some of the admin links are only compliant with 3.6+.

You can easily accomplish this by editing the phrases from your ACP options.

Nope! I'll leave it as is..

They know how to register already :)

Awesome hack! ;)

This works perfect for what I was looking for and waiting for....

Thank you for sharing this code with us.

Installed on 3.6.3 with ease and less than 5 mins. :D

I love this Hack, but I need to allow without exception all the web bots (spiders) to access all my forum thread and post at anytime, what I need exactly to do for that, sorry but about that I'm so confused.
Thanks

Thanks for this! :)
