i am sorry but didn;t understand the use of this template edit. isnt there a login box right above that? why make two login boxes on same page?

anyways thanks for contributing

[mac-warez]

That is an old image before we removed that other box. It is basically to stop people from viewing our forums just through the forum directory. But with direct thread links they can view the threads.

[SEOvB]

you realize they can simply use the archives to view your forums with this method.

Try doing it the correct way with usergroup permissions next time.

[JamesFreeman]

Why would you need this. It's pointless, Therefore i will not be installing.

[Rich]

We appreciate the submission, but this really does serve no purpose. The title of this modification is also VERY midleading. This is not a login page. This is actually a login block on the forumhome page, which already has one. (In the navbar.)

[mac-warez]

Yeah but it can be made into an external page very easily. In fact i might work on that

[n95gps]

if a guest cant veiw my forum then he or she might not joine

is this blocking all the guest from viewing the forum

if thats the case

then i am sorry

i won't need it

but thanx for the effort

take care

[mac-warez]

Whatever. It works good. I like it.

[mac-warez]

Updated code.
