UPDATE on use of this.
I removed the code for this from headinclude and placed it instead in the register template.
In "register" template find:
Code:
dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
And add the code supplied here under it, or really anywhere in the script so it will be called up. You can I guess, put it at the very top or very bottom. I don't think it matters.
This allows humans still using IE6 to read your content unimpeded, but if they try to register they will get this IE6 blocker when they land on the do=register page after agreeing to the forum rules.
We stop the botnet zombies from registering with this, and if it blocks a human they can still send us feedback. Or, they can use the links provided to get themselves a modern browser and join the 21st Century already.
Additionally, I edited the "jquery.ie6blocker.js" file to where it now says,
"If you would like to register with us please... etc" instead of
"If you would like to read our content please... etc."
Of course, this will not stop people or bots on IE6 who have javascript disabled. For making sure we get such bots stopped we also installed this
"Is Bot" mod. The thread explains how to edit that mod to work with vB4 as well.
