No I don't -- there are no queries in this hack, just if conditionals based on data called by in the vbulletin user datamanager on every page. I would suggest you open up your shell access, monitor your load with the hack turned off, turn it on and see what happens in the next 2-3 minutes.

Great addition to my forum thank you very much

Hey Ted, I got that all working now..... by changing the group in the template as you advised.
Thanks for all your help....... Now to edit the wording...... :)

No problem. You can easily get to the wording i fyou go to vBulletin Options --> Welcome Headers System and look for the "edit" links.

New Idea Time :)

I'm thinking about using javascript to select random messages. I think it will keep things 'fresh' and keep members or potential members looking at the option to register. I googled up some basic javascript but I thought I would toss the idea out to see if anyone has any thing to add.

greta mod thanks

I recently upgrade to php 5.2.4 from php 4.4.7....

My old version of this mod - 4.0.3 - does not work with php5.

Does this version?

This mod doesn't care what version of php you use -- it's little more than an HTML conditional with some marketing copy. If you can run vbulletin, you can run welcome headers.

Ted no offense. But I couldn't get into my admin panel until I disabled it after upgrading to php 5.2.4. So the version I was using - 4.0.3 - had something it didn't like. I agree that it is strange.

None taken. Welcome Headers may certainly have conflicted with another hack you have, or another hack may have conflicted with welcome headers but welcome headers does nothing that would conflict with php. The code is literally nothing more than a vbulletin template and has nothing to do with login processes, urls or getting into the ACP. Versions, 4.0.3, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, they're all virtually the same with a few changes to make updates and customizations easier -- when it gets down to it, welcome headers is a method of marketing to users based on vbulletin conditionals and nothing more. I've got this running on just about every setup imaginable and never heard of anyone running into issues because of php versions, from a code perspective it just doesn't make any sense. But as I always say, if you don't think the addon is good for your forum, by all means, don't use it.
