oi.. basically, if the load is higher than xx, we only want regged users to browse the forums (and be able to let users log in & register)..

this hack seems to allow guests to view the board but only when there is high traffic it will not allow guests which in return allows only members to view on high traffic times standaards feature is on or off for guests not at certain times

Just making sure everyone understands that the file changes need to be made to global.php. (forgot that, okidoki) :)

i tried setting it to a load of 0.1 and made sure my server had a load of 1.17 didn't get any warning when going to the forums as a guest and could still browse the forums?

nice hack, but would you be able to create it when it goes over the set server load that it also closes surton forums? i would like to use this since i have one that can get upto 60 to 70 new threads an hour..
