This hack prevents guests and members not logged into your forum from seeing anything other than the first intial post in each thread. This encourages forum 'dwellers' to register on your forum, and deters them from using your server's resources. This hack is a variation of my 'Closed Thread Warning' hack. It can be used on both postbit and postbit legacy styles and uses CSS. A screenshot is shown below. Actual thread warning is animated. Enjoy ;)

Ok when I installed it I could not access any posts whatsoever and I was logged in and I'm registered to my own forum. I have no idea what happened but it did not work.

Double check your work. All of my hacks use only vB variables, so if it doesn't work then that means that something is wrong with your forum. I noticed your database was also having problems. Everything needs to be up to code and running correctly or hacks will naturally have problems ;)

OK I'll give it another try. Have not had any problems with any other hacks even though the database cuts out every once in a awhile. That could simply be the fact that I'm using godaddy for hosting and they have many people hosting with them. I will be checking with them to see what the deal is though.

I am curious of something...I notice a lot of web bots crawling around and I find them crucial for a stage of member recruitment that happen to search on some related terms and find my site.

THe bots come in as guests and I was curious if it were possible to allow a guest to view the first 5 posts? If so, what would I have to change?

Thanks!

I'm not sure why the bots are assigned as guests. They'd be much better off as being placed in the members usersgroup. This hack is designed specifically to use as first post viewing. You could try to change this line:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.
to read as:
You must first be a registered member to view any code.
But there is no support for it if it doesn't work, and you'd be trying it out at your own risk, so please first back everything up
