Guest Anti-Mooching

[4x4 Mecca]

How about something like this

<if condition="guest">
<a href="linktoregister">Members List</a><else /><a href="linktomemberslist">Members List</a></if>

of course I wrote it wrong, but that would make the links go where ever you want for guests and somewhere else for all registered people, would this do what you want?

So Ill need to add that to my navbar templates for every link ?

[4x4 Mecca]

Yeah, or just make a whole list of them for unregistered, something like this

<if condition="guest">
<a href="linktoregister">Members List</a><a href="linktomemberslist">Members List</a>
link 2
link 3
link 4
<else />
Regular link code
</if>

Can you think of any disadvantages of this ? What about Bots?

[Distance]

You just said you wanted to ban the bots!

[DieselMinded]

Your right I was on the wrong thread

Sorry I will add this condition to my members list to force guests who click it to go to the registration page ,

Would be nice for it to go to the page that says your not loged in ect... insted ... Whats the URL for this?

try allowing all guests, but use your log tables 2 track them 4 a few dias,,, go over your ip logs and look 4 any ips that are trying 2 access areas that concern U. After U have a list of ips that U believe 2 be problem childs, next use software that redirects them or slows down there connections... Or Ban groups at one time...

Remember if somebody wants in they will find a way...> proxies < , but U still can make life hard on those pesky runts...

Use .htaccess it works best...

Good Luck
