We all hate to see more guests browsing the boards than registered members! Can someone out there come up with a hack where after so many thread clicks (maybe saved to a cookie), either a popup would show, or a 'register' page shows up that says "Hey, want to read more posts, please register for free". And if they don't register then, do it again at a second setting like 50 views. Or if they come back to the site 3 or 4 times, bring them to the 'register' page.

I don't know if someone has made something like this. I think more people would register and maybe become a part of the forum instead of a lookey-loo. I got the idea last night from a classifieds site. After I viewed about 10 classifieds, it asked me to 'register for free'.

Any ideas?

Is enough guest information saved to make this possible?

I think it's a great concept, though.

I dont mind forcing cookies -if I have to- for all guests to enable this to work.

A hack like this does allready exist, take a look in the hacks database, It should be listed in there.

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