well, i'm glad i didn't go to 4am in the morning to bed for nothing. thanks lionel.

I hate pop-ups, and this thing would annoy me when I am not logged in, so I am sure it would annoy every one else.

This is a good idea: though the current pop-up is highly annoying!

But it got me thinking. Instead, then, I've written an "ad banners if not registered" 'hack' here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=222819 (It's not a hack, actually, just a template edit).

It looks like this:

Once a user registers, the ad banners disappear.

I really like that idea, definately would be a good convincer...

By the way, you folks should be nicer... He made this hack thinking some people would use it, and THEY DID. So it is a success. Why talk bad about his hack if noone is forcing or asking you to use it? Just say something like "I like the idea of getting people to register but not via a popup, because I think they are somewhat annoying"

It is depressing to see that some of these people can't just relax and, if they don't like a hack, don't read about it.

James, my hack it's fully customizable so you can edit the template the way it suits better for your forums, i mentioned this in the start thread, so you make it the way you want ;) good mod you have there.. however, your hack only adds a table at the top, mines scroll down while the user browse the board and you can edit vbpopup template to look the same as yours. ;)

nafae, thanks...

No worries, thanks for that.

The nice thing about this board is that it makes you think: I'm not claiming mine's any better than yours, just suits me better, that's all.

It was your idea: and a good idea, too.

Nakkid, I love this Hack and installed it.

"Don't bother ignorant people"

I have tried to change the location, but without any result.

What do I need to do to let it popup at the bottom in the center?
Please, show me with params.

01. open vbpopup.js and locate the line:change the -250 and -150 set of values to suit your needs.

02. in headinclude template, edit #vbplocation, more exacly the top and left locations.

experiment until you achieve the result you like.
hope that helped you. ;)

James, i really like your mod. getting jelous.. hehe :D great job and soo easy. i made the popup size to look closer to yours. :D
less editing for people...

Super, Thank you so much Nakkid !
