No support by the author.

I made this mod after being requested at my forum by a user and thorught to share it here as well in case other users will find a use for it as well

http://www.forumservices.eu/showthre...-hack-from-Ipb

ANyway this hack will allow you to show the first post to guests and hide the rest. You can enable and disable from the Acp where you can add the message that you want to be displayed to guests instead of the post. You can also choose forums to be excluded from the hide post limit.

The mod is not supported.

A new version that shouldn''t afefct spiders can be downloaded at my forum. Support for the mod is also provided there.

http://www.forumservices.eu/vb/showt...irst-Post-Only

The mod is free. However registration is required to download it.

Can this be changed to view the second or third post instead view only the first post?

Hey I found this about experts-exchange.com, a site that appears to cloak content from Google but in fact it really doesn't:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/...175293ce&hl=en

There's a lot to read but basically it says Exoerts-Exchange puts up a message that makes it looks like you need to be a member to see the answers (posts) but in fact if you scroll down to the bottom of the page the answers are there. So maybe this mod could be adjusted so guests see a message saying they need to register to see posts but in fact still display posts well below that message as most people don't bother looking past such a message but this is still within Google's terms of service.

Also another thing experts-exchange does is only show these answers (posts) if you followed a link from google... if you follow a link (get referred) by any other site the answers (posts) don't display at all...

So if this mod could be changed to:
1) Show all posts if the referring site is Google...
and
2) Add a large obnoxious "You must register to see posts" message above all the additional posts to 'trick' people into registering...

I'm still not sure I agree with the theory behind tricking people into register to see content but at least you wouldn't be de-listed from Google.
