Modify the standard error vBulletin Message
I know you've seen it before: get redirected to the no permissions page when you try to post or do something in a forum you don't have permission to do. This as a great opportunity to turn it into a combination quick registration/login forms with some text that offers the visitor some great reasons to join.
It's already a mod that's been done in various forms by the folks at SEOvB. But their mod just doesn't work. I spent 2 days trying to code the page to make it golden. It actually works in a limited fashion. It fails in checking the permissions of unregistered visitors though.
I have several forums visitors are allowed to post in. The features are very limited, but people who just want to ask a quick question without registering can do so. But then they end up doing something else and land on the standard error page about no permissions.
I want to turn those visitors into members. It would work better than the modification by SEOvB (Guest Redirect System Professional). But I can't get the human verification thing to work on it, and a couple of the phrases don't show up (the confirm password and confirm email, for some strange reason). If I could get those issues resolved, it would boost registrations.
Any help would be appreciated.
R'gards,
Jim
