thank you very much for your help
Your welcome! Smile
I searched to find this topic, and it seems to answer my question. Well part of it. How can you get it so that unregistered or not logged in visitors get a message box (example "Welcome. You are not registered or not logged in. You should register on our site, because etc.)? How can I do that?
in global.php before ?> you can add in:

$guestmessage = "";
if($mybb->user['uid'] == 0)
{
     $guestmessage = "text here...";
}

and then use $guestmessage in your templates where ever you want it to show up
Ok, I just want to make sure, but I leave $guestmessage = ""; empty like it is, and I add text to $guestmessage = "text here..."; right?
yes
Alright, thanks Tiki
