Pancake, What hide option? Do you mean the one next to Spoiler? If you use the Hide, visitors won't see what you say.

I think they will get a message like;

You must be logged in to view this message.

Pancake, What do you mean for all posts? If you would hide all the posts, then what's the use of forum? xD I mean, this is for helping other people, why hide it? lol

Pancake, No. Members-only website scares guest. Usually, it is the reason why less people would register. It will hit you back if you're not careful. Some people who uses Google and see a website that needs registration will automatically back out and find another website. You don't want users leaving, right?

haha. You can keep going. But I still think it's a bad idea. Maybe you should wait for the others to see their opinion. As for me, this is for the best. A forum should always be open. A social network should need registration. But this isn't a social network. wink

Pancake, this isn't a community, it is merely a support site for uCoz users.
So users won't have to register to get the answers they need.

13053121k0, [laughs] Alright 13053121k0, I'll wait to see what others say on the subject, However, it would probly fall in a 50/50 split.

Acid, But if we did have some member only pages, maybe we might see new people.

Just like acid said. This isn't a community. This is a support site. We are here to help. wink

Not crave for new members. :P

Pancake, new members on the forums isn't important, supporting users is.
Users want their solutions fast, and fix their problem.

If a user want to hang out and discuss things, they will register because of that reason, not because they have to, to see the answers they want.
Closing forums or threads for non-registered users will not come to the forums.

As said, this is not a community, it's a support forum.
