[Block] Guest Page View Limit

[Thurnok]

That sounds more like an issue with your server.  There are numerous sites running TP/SMF that have more than 100 simultaneous users online throughout the day without issue.

Either way, this block really isn't for that, though it would be possible to make one that does that.  I'm already behind on other things however, so someone else probably would be able to get to it faster than I would at the moment.

Anyone?

Sorry, didn't realize it was a question.  Are you saying that you set the code for 10 pages, but it sent you to registration page at the first page view?

• Did you put into a phpblock?
  
• What block location: left/right/center/frontpage/article?
  
• Does this block show on all pages of your site?
  
• Do you have something that refreshes your page automatically - like in another block somewhere (example the Teamspeak block has this)?
  
• Did it create the database table to hold the IP list?
  
• What does it say for the number of views for your IP in the table?

hrm.. well, somehow it counted 16 page views for you, which is why it sent you to the registration page.  I haven't seen that happen at all, so not sure why it would do that.

Try resetting the pageviews value to 1 and then visit as a guest again.  If it sends you direct to the registration page again, recheck the pageviews value to see what it is at.  If it is at above 10 again just from a single page view, there must be something causing it to count multiple times for a single view - but only for you I'd say, since in your screenshot I see another IP in the table that listed a single count.
