Updated text.

Well, this is almost what I need, but I want one that will show up for someone that is posting for the first time, instead of seeing the UserCP for the first time.

When i get home from work i will make this work for posting, and for the arcade. Been busy.

Perfect! We made some policy changes recently. I could have used this last week --- but thanks for it now!

any answers plz?

I have been looking for something like this with a little DIFFERNT twist to it.

I do not know about you but I am TIRED of people NOT reading rules or important annoucements etc. What I would LOVE to have is a way to FORCE Everyone to read a certain message no matter what they are doing.

Users are logged in, I create a NEW Rule or Message that I want EVERYONE to read. As soon as I create the RULE etc I would like to be able to FORCE EVERYONE to read it before they can PROCEED viewing forums etc. So say a member is reading a POST, I create a NEW RULE and choose FORCE READ. When those members click anything else in the forum it auto POPS up NEW message with the NEW RULE etc I just made.

The ONLY way I thought this would work right is to FORCE CLEAR ALL cookies (FORECE LOGOUT) for the Forum so that the message would Appear as soon as they logged back in they would have to CLICK a button on message to continue, even possibly the ADMINS can set how LONG they must READ it BEFORE they can continue.

Can you do this? This would be of great benefit, it would allow Forums to KNOW that EVERYONE got the NEWS or NEW RULES. People would no longer have an excuse well I didn't know, I didn't see the new rules etc. I know for me this would be of GREAT help :)

I'm thinking of something simliar only have it redirect the user to our index page. Alot of people link to the forum directly and I want to cut back on that.

Force Site Rules is back, and will have updated instrutions later tonight for the forums index.php, and the arcade.php.

So u will do it be shown before ppl see the index forum page?
SWEET, looking forward for it mate

Yes when a member comes to your site, the first thing they will see is the rules, when they click i accept. it will record it in the database, and they will no be prompt the rules again. I'm also making it so you have updated rules. If you update your rules for w/e reason, then you add the new rules, and click on a update button, and it will make it so all user have not agreeded to the new rules, and they will be prompt the new rules again.
