First post visible, rest thread must login

Since there is no interest in my recipe request, I would like to make a new one.

I'm not sure if this has been done (couldn't find it in search) or if it can be done... But, I'd like a hack that would make my forums behave like http://www.experts-exchange.com


Basically, the way I have it setup now is that guests can see topic titles, but not content until they sign in. This works to an extent but search engines can't see any content..

So, if a hack could be made so that the first post could be accessible by guests, then spiders can index the first post of everything, leaving the rest 'protected' until sign in...

Thanks in advance
