The original location and screenshot, reminded me of those spammy ads you get on some sites, and as it's right next to the ad it looks like it's part of it. I think I'll try it on the notices :).

Thanks both :)

We're open to ideas here, thats the beauty of VBulletin Mods :D

So its a great way to get members to sign up, they will love the extra content that full membership brings. Plus they get a new email upon registering so thats there welcome emain from the admin sorted.

Caused no confusion, they simly love the extra content :D

Well this sounds so exciting that I am going to give it a try. If it works for me I'll spend you a beer. ;)

Reminds me of the glorious movie Godfather. Usually those who disagreed with the boss did that only once in their life. Too bad that they didn't get a second chance... :D

Not really my cup of tea

Installed to test and in the top right it says you have a new PM

Surely a visitor knows that he ain't got new pm
and if they click on it it takes you to the registration page

Blah to cheesy for me

Code:

<if condition="$show['registerbutton'] AND THIS_SCRIPT == index"><div align="right">You have a new PM! Click here <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">here</a> to read it! <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/register.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://yourforum/newpm.gif" border="0"></a></div></if>

this condition would be better:

Code:

<if condition="$show[registerbutton] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'register' AND $show['guest']">

you'll need the guest condition because some forums also allowed "double registration" (don't know how it's exactly called in english version)

and != register is better the =='index' so its shown on every page, just not on register ;)

but, this condition is not testet! i've just noted it down but should work

Anyone found any confusion with this: ( I am thinking this could happen with some members) They open up the site it shows that you have 1 pm awaiting, but they already have an account so they create a new one.

2nd scenario. They see the 1 unread pm, sign in, and now they have no unread pms.

That is 2 scenarios that I think will cause confusion as it might be a bit misleading to those who already have accounts.

In essence your telling them that they have a PM forfore they actually get it.

Its Human nature to find out what there email says, so in all everyones happy.

By using the conditional to show this only to guests and non registered members, means that registered members and members of other usergroups will never see it ;)

can you see how it works now???

Thats not true ;)

$show[registerbutton] can also be "true" for registered members;)

Then add a usergroup condition to the front of it, I've not had any problems with it?? :confused:
