What does this hack do?

This hack will allow you to redirect unregistered users from accessing the User CP, Newthread and New Reply, straight to the Registration page...

// Modifications - Start
Queries to Run = 0
Files to Modify = 3 (newreply.php, newthread.php & usercp.php)
Templates to Edit = 0
Templates to Add = 1
Number of Modifications = 6
Time to install = 3 minutes
// Modifications - End

Support

Support for this hack will only be given in this thread...

Testing

I have tested this on my Offline vBulletin 2.2.8 Board...

In theory, this should work for all vB 2.2.x versions, but my advice is to backup your files just in case

Screenshots

Installed. Thanks for the hack.

You forget that the Unregistered Usergroup is also for Not Logged In. So why would someone that already registered and doesn't use cookies, logged out last visit, or deleted his cookies(and other things) want to be redirected to the Register page :P But other than that nice hack.

Well, I don't think it's the point if the Users wants or doesn't want to. I guess this Hack is morely for all this stupid Users you got on every Board, and send you PN's like "I cannot post, can you help me?" or something nerving like this. I tried lots of ways, standart PN to every new member and stuff like that which reduced PN's already from about 30 / day to 5 / day. There cannot be enough Hacks to guide these n00bs.

Hmm...

I had the same thought as [D]Vincent...

But then I thought - Why would they try and reply, post a new thread, or goto their usercp if they know they arent logged in???

Well sometimes I get logged out of my forums when I'm trying to post for no reason :P only every now and then though.

Weird...

Perhaps you need to change your Cookie Timout value

why don't you just change your forum options to prevent unregistered users from posting. It's a built in vB feature.
