That's what it does. The check for the approval usergroup comes first -- so long as the user is still in that group, that's the first message they will see.

Is there any way to hide these from google since they always show up in the description on search results?

For AdSense:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

<header code>

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

But if your guest can see it so can Google as far as I know.

You could use it to display an image with your text in it, and the spiders will look right past it (other than the alt tag which could be a few keywords. ;) )

I am running version 4.1.3 and have just updated my Vbulletin to the latest 3.6.7 PL1 version. Do I need to do anything about the templates? I am getting a message that I have for templates that are not updated.
Thanks

Nothing on the hack's end, no.

I'd definitely like to see the Guest message only displayed to those with cookies enabled, to avoid running into trouble with search engines. :)

Anyway, great stuff, thank you! I'm making use of the rest of it.

Any way to keep the message from showing up on certain pages?

You can use conditionals to exclude it from any page you like. Just edit the welcome_headers template (there are some examples to get you started).

Why didn't I think of that :o....Thanks
