Great product...easy install, Thanks!

/me installs - great thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that I went from about 5 registering per day to 30 (still) and it's been six months. It quadrupled the member count we had after 1.5 years in just six months.

Thanks :)

This looks like a very elegant system!

I'm curious though as to what happens if an unregistered person visits the website
but blocks the cookie.

Is the forum then wide open for viewing unlimited thread / post content, or???

HJ

The same thing that happens if a bot comes == there's nothing to count visits so they can keep on browsing.

Thanks very much Ted... I saw your post here after I'd ask you this in the PM you so graciously sent. All the best!

Thanks for this great MOD.

I was wondering besides the guests, whether Google, Yahoo! or MSN spiders are treated as guests or are they allowed to view any thread/forums infinite times?

Thanks alot, Wanting this kind of a mod for a long time!

Great mod. Thanks so much. I have no idea how I hadn't seen this mod for so long.

Nvm, figured it out. Is there any way to get this to show up in the main forum section instead of just topics?

Not without modifying the hack. This isn't meant to be a general message but rather to specifically address viewing posts.

Try the welcome header hack if you want to bug people everywhere.

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find for our forum. Actually, it's better than I imagined. INSTALLED

Thank you!

We already know that LGV increases the number of registrations. We can call this "direct benefit" of mod.

But in my opinion this mod also would increase the number of online users (and active users, as well) am i right? Because users who view threads as visitors (We know there are lots of users who is doing that) would log in after they received block message. In this way, this mod also would liven up the forum. They will log in, maybe they will reply some threads or create new ones, and posts number will increase too. So forum will be more active. And we can call this "indirect benefit" of mod. What do you think about this? Any experience?

And I'll install this mod. tomorrow. Thanks!

I would like to install this one but I have a question first.

Does this mod override what is already set for Unregistered users? We have our forum permissions set so that guests cannot view anything. We want to change that.

Nope. This doesn't change any permission settings.

amazing addon
both of ur addon are gr8
but i have query whether search engine rank will be down bu this hack?

It shouldn't be.

canot view forum!!!
help me

Can you be more specific? Have you turned this hack off? On? What can't you view? What can you view?

hello ted
r u sure that it wont affect search enging index of any forum?

Out of interest, how many of those actually come back again, as opposed to just register, view and then vanish again ?

Nope. But it's a pretty safe bet that they won't be affected.

:D who care we can annoy them with forum emails lool :p << !!!!:rolleyes:

probably blind ...but I searched and didn't see it...

1. is there a way to make so it blocks the number of posts (pages) one sees in a particular thread? (eg: guest can only read first page of a thread or first 3 posts...then asked to register).


2. How DO you add a search bots if you have to? I have a few international search engines I need to NOT block...but not sure how I would add them.


suggestion: maybe future you add in admincp a simple way to add bots without having to go into the code? (like a box to add other bots in addition to the default ones this covers).

GrendelKhan - To answer your questions.

1 - Nope.

2 - You don't have to. The system uses cookies, bots don't use cookies. If you did want to hardocde a bot in, you would edit the xml file (search for Google).

Installed!
Great Mod Ted. I had seen this on other sites but had not gone looking for the hack.

Thanks for putting a link in your sig on TAZ. Once I saw you did it, I knew I had to have it. Your reputation precedes you buddy.
Many thanks!

thx..
i have imported plugin..

nice addon buddy
one suggestion or question whtever u feel :)

is this better [register take overmsg] or popup prompting for register/post topic/introduction is better?

strange prb

1st i enabled only reg. take over option for 4 threads.and keep reg. block hack disabled..
then msg appers after 4threads view..

then i enabled reg. block also for 2 threads to check it..
it also worked

then i disabled reg. block and keep reg.take over enabled for 2 views as initially but thanafter i'm unable to see that msg

i enabled reg.blocked again and got msg in 1st thread now..disabled reg. block and checked again bot not got msg for reg. take over..

then i asked my frnd to check same and he got the msg
whts the prb?

well right now i have kept reg. takeover after 4 threads..and reg. block disabled..
plz guide me
============================================

one more question:-

once user opened 10threads and if i keep reg block for 10 thread then he/she wont be abvle to see thrad without loggin forever?

Yup yup. There are options in your vbulletin settings are to control how they work together.

Thanks!

where is answer of my query buddy?
i have mentioned my prb quite simply so that anyone can understand...just read thagt post plzzzz

A little patience goes a long way.

The tracking is done by cookies -- if you view 4 threads, change the settings to 2, and come back, you'll already be over the limit.

u rnt gettin my question

let me explain in simple way

if guest has viewd more than 4 threads once and then he login and then in his next visit as guest will reg. block/takeover msg be shown directly or after 4 threads only?
this is much imp question spl regarding reg.block msg..

ideally it shd be like each time guest can be able to view view number of threads set in acp... ..i think u have done that only but wanna confirm as i have no idea..

Please use full sentances, I can't understand what you are saying.
