Panic over!

I found the old code still in my template for some reason so must have affected it majorly. PHEW!

Now working perfect so thanks mate, a truely superb mod but remember everyone to delete your old code.

Quick question - This doesn't affect spiders and vbseo looking at the hidden posts does it?

If you were to make it show for search engines and not guests, that would be bad for seo anyway.

See below. SEs will penalise you for doing that. I believe that some will even remove your listing. Posts in the archive are not "hidden", so they will still be indexed anyway. I am looking in to having an option to "hide" posts in the archive as well.
