Allow Specified Number of Guests on Forum · **Released**: 09-27-2003

What does this hack do?

This hack allows you to specify how many guests you want to allow to browse your forums simultaneously. If the number of guests is more than the amount you specified, then the new guests will receive an error message stating that there are too many guests browsing the forums. The new guests will be able to browse the forums again when some of the other guests have left.

This hack can drastically reduce your server load, allowing only members to completely enjoy the freedom of being able to browse the forums without having any messages saying there are too many members online

Enjoy!

The update I made to the install files should have fixed it.

You'll have to uninstall the old hack (remove/change back the changes) then install this new one.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
