This mod has the right idea, but unfortunately it's quite flawed in practice.
For starters, it doesn't seem to actually query the usergroup ID when deciding when to restrict post viewing, instead it seems to check whether or not the vB 'guest message' is being displayed. Ideally it would query the usergroup ID, this way viewing could be definitively restricted by either allowing or denying a list of valid usergroup IDs (i.e. deny the default ID 1 for Unregistered / Not Logged In)
Because it doesn't check the usergroup ID, you can easily bypass it by looking at the print view of the thread, or the archive view if enabled. Even the Threaded/Hybrid view gives you big chunks of the messages.
Hopefully these shortcomings can be addressed, otherwise they should be clearly noted in the description so no one has a false sense of security. As far as registering on your site for support, well it would be nice if your site were actually online so we could do just that.
