I have guests get referred by current members, verify their email, and then must be approved by me, while double-checking with the referrer to make sure they did invite them in. It's too bad I have to do this one by one.

Because of the referral system, I did not want tguests to view forum members' username, which would allow them to register by entering in the referral ID - one less security wall for me. So that's why I didn't want them viewing anything on the forum.

P.S. Why isn't it a good idea for me to block out guests? Was the counter update to me?

If anyone has an easier system of "only referred guests can enter" please let me know. Thanks!

well i guess if your going to get alot of invite traffic...

yes you do need to update the counters

i think this could be solved with a conditional but im not sure
