Guests can see forums and threads, but must register to read threads.

In showthread.php, look for the following:

if (!($forumperms & CANVIEWOTHERS) AND ($thread['postuserid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid'] OR $bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0))
{
	print_no_permission();
}

Below this, paste the following:

###DENY NOT LOGGED IN (USER 0) AND USERS AWAITING EMAIL CONFIRMATION (GROUP 3)###
if($bbuserinfo['userid']==0||$bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==3) print_no_permission();

does this exclude search bots?

is there any way to have this allow guests to view X number of threads before this message appears?

I think this mod was released before... never the less thanks

[Lionel]

this is much much more simpler that the other mode (can view contents) which can be implemented on a per forum basis

i posted this request just the other day... awesome

Hmm, nothing changes for me. I've made the changes in showthread.php, ten I've logged out, and I can see forums, but not threads.. Anyone else the same?

[neofootball]

nothing changed for me either! :ermm:

[secret1980]

no change occurred for me too...

Glad it wasn't just me. Any thoughts on why we dont seem to see any difference?

[paulyy]

Because it's doing the same thing maybe?

print_no_permission();
