    • System wasn't previously loading on these homepages if selected

  • Removed [Account] page option selections
    • System only loads on guest pages so it had no benefit

• Made default force value 8 (previously 10)

Tested Limited Guest Viewing with Xenforo 2.3 RC4.

Will require small update, but seems to work without major issues.

Notes

• I didn't test with RC3 or earlier
• RC4 is now out, which should make <=RC3 obsolete

If you find an bug/issue please post in the Discussion.

• ErrorException: [E_WARNING] Attempt to read property "node_id" on null
• Warning occurred on deleted threads
  • 404 page of a thread that never existed
  • 404 page of perm deleted thread
  • Return to XF to handle 404 or "Oops, error page"
• PHP 8.x deprecation warning resolutions

• New option added (on by default) (shown below)
  • "Allow viewing of excluded forums after guest view count reached"
• Limited Guest Viewing will allow continued viewing of "excluded" forums even when the maximum number of views has been triggered
  • Note, if enabled, you must not "view track" for page types such as: Homepage and Thread List Pages, otherwise the visitor will be pigeon holed to the registration page when trying to navigate to "excluded" forums
  • The default installation does not "view track" on the aforementioned pages by default

• Move guest counting variable to phrase for multi-language improvement on RTL
