flaregun Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Right now guests get the "You cannot reply to this topic" button when viewing the forum, but I think that is pointless - they don't know what to do. A better solution would be to have a button that says "Register to reply to this topic" with a link to registration page. That would drive more user registrations. How hard is this to implement? - R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetheiguana Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I think it's done that way because of permissions. You might find someone registers and finds they're in a forum in which they can only view and it's still saying "Register to reply to this topic".

flaregun Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 That's my point - guests don't have the permissions, but instead of giving them a brick wall, the buttons should motivate them to register... Basically, guest should be shown buttons to register, members get the reply and start discussion buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaregun Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yeah, I don't run view-only forums, so I could hack the thread view code. I may try it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
