The registered users only mode is good but thinking of going a different route.
Allow guests to view the list of topics and if they choose to read the full entry, they click and get a prompt to sign up.

You can do this already by setting the security permissions on all categories so that “everyone” has no privileges, but Trust Level 0 has all privileges.
Note that all the content will be invisible to search engines though…
Might not have put in the correct terms since I only used guest view topc.
Thanks for your reply David. I’ll give it a try.
