Guest Anti-Mooching

How do i Make links in my Nav BAr to go to the You Must be Loged in or Register page ?

Ive having Guests Use my Search link and my referrals page and members list alot This makes me uneasy , Ive already banned a few ips that keep looking at my referrals page like all day long for weeks I think there Spam Bots trying to farm my members info .

Any way , What Do i need to add to my nav bar template to make the link send guests to the registration page?

Thanks

why not just disable access to those things for the Guests usergroup?

I want them to know the features are there , just not able to use them if i use the If Conditional guests would only see like 2 links in my nav bar , Being able to Link the nav bar links to guests to the registration page kills 2 birds with 1 stone

the links will still be there so Guests will know that they have the ability to do such an action, but will require registration to do said action. this is a default ability with vB using the various usergroup permissions.

BY not allowing the Guests to click on links ? How would they click register?

[SCRIPT3R]

no, what i mean is that when they click anything that they don't have access to, by default vB gives them the message that they should Register to be able to do that action.

How do you change Access to each individual Link in the Nav Bar ?

Most guests are probably search spiders.
