Hi Ted...

Question: I've got this set so guests go through a few posts in a specific "Feature of the Month" forum, then start getting the message they should register. I then let them go through a few more posts and set up the blocking message.

So, to circuvent the block and keep reading threads, some have found the trick of creating a fake email address that bounces (ie: test@yahoo.com) which gets them into the non-guest state usergroup "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation".

By doing this, they are now able to continue to read threads as long as they want, with no intention of ever having to register properly.

I guess the question is....

How can I get the two usergroups # 3 - Users Awaiting Email Confirmation and #1 - Unregistered / Not Logged In to be treated the same and accumulative in their post count? In otherwords, if they were blocked as guests, is there a way of having that block stay in place until the actually confirm their email address and become usergroup #2 - Registered?

Thanks for your work ... :up:

Badger
