FYI: Guests will no longer be able to view more than 3 post unless they register. This should help make BHW more secure from outside people. If you receive a message telling you to register it means you got signed out and need to log back in

A very smart move! This will also eliminate search engine indexing....

Well i think it will also prevent search engine bots from visiting the forum! And i guess asking to fill captcha text after every 3 posts would be better and as far as i think, it will also prevent search engine bots!

Good job,

I think thats a great move! When I was here the other day, I was amazed at how many were guests and how many were actually members in here.

Well in phpbb we can change the permissions so i think it will be vBulletin also, you can disallow guests to see posts and allow bots ike Google to do so
