Guests may only view first page of thread

i use a small template modification in my forums, so that guests may only view the first page of a thread. otherwise they will get a (error) message
maybe someone want to use this, too


in the following,
XX is the number of posts shown in a thread
(i think default was 25)
you need to replace this 2 times in the first 2 lines according to your posts/page

postbit legacy
add to the very beginning:

<if condition="$post[postcount] > XX and !$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<if condition="$post[postcount]%XX == 1">
<!-- Start Error Message -->
<if condition="$show['spacer']">
    $spacer_open
    <div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
    <if condition="!$post['islastshown']"><!-- this is not the last post shown on the page --></if>    
</if>
<table id="post$post[postid]" class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr><td class="alt1" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
<div><b>Guests may only view the first page of a thread. You need to register to get full access. <a href="register.php" rel="nofollow">Click here to register.</a>
</b></div>
</td></tr>
</table>
<if condition="$show['spacer']">
    </div>
    $spacer_close
</if>
<!-- End Error Message -->
<else /></if><else />

and add to the end of the template:

</if>

this modification saves traffic and it should increase your registrations rate

its my first release to please be kind
