Guest Message

[Mr. Duck]

Does anyone know a mod that shows a message to guest's persuading them to register?

Like saying all the benefits of registering 🙂

this is on mybb!

what do you mean screen that just pops out?

I created a section at the top of my forum just for that. Only guests can view that section so it never clutters regisitered users.

 

[Mr. Duck]

can you tell me how to do it?

 

[AquaTeen]

If you're using phpbb3 all you need to do is create a forum section that only guests can view.

i forgot to say on mybb 😛

There might be a plugin on the mybb site

Edit the Welcomeblock_guest template with what you want.

If you want to make it the simple way then create a new redirect section on your forum that only guests can view, put it on the top of your forum.

If you want to do it the "hard" way then do what Jonathan said.

ACP -> Templates & Style -> Templates -> Expand Templates of your skin -> Header templates -> header_welcomeblock_guest -> put whatever HTML you want at the bottom, before the </center> if there is one
