You mean, you want to stop search engines visiting your posts? (Because search engines are treated as guests)

I want guests to see the topics in the index, but not be able to read the actual content, without registration.
I don't have SEO or anything like that, so I am okay with spiders not indexing the site.

Good luck getting people to join if they can't see anything actually worthwhile.

@Old Fossil: That mod won't do what tMicky is asking for. That makes the board visible, not the list of topics.

Gotcha. Was a passing thought but never mind.

Try This one
Yes, this is what I wanted. However, because I have the "New Layout for Last Post Info" Mod installed, trying to manually install the mod, led to a template error and crashed the forum  :(

I tried this similar mod - "View/Enter Board Permissions" and it installed nicely, but the problem is guests can only see the index, they can't even click on category to see the threads within.
