Ok, I finally got around to turning ON this option.
Once enabled, I logged out from my regular username on the board and left myself in "guest" state viewing the forum home. I then started looking at threads to build towards the warning count I had set to 5. Once there, the message appeared suggesting I should register.
I then kept viewing threads working towards the "block" setting of 10. Once there, sure enough, I got the message that my time was up and I had to register, just like it's supposed to. I assume a "cookie" got set someplace.
So, here's my problem....
I logged in under my regular registered username and did some work. I then logged out again to make sure that I wasn't able to continue using this same computer (due to cookie) as an unregistered guest. I expected to see the same message saying my time was up and I needed to register, but instead, it let me into viewing more threads?
So, just a guess, but I thought I'd ask. Does the "guest block" cookie get cleared when I log in from this same machine as a Registered Member?
Thanks for any feedback...
Regards,
Badger
