Very Nice. It works just as you described it.

Very easy to install and customize.

I have installed this hack but when viewing as a vistor you get

Thanks

It appears you have not followed all of the instructions. You will need to (1) remove the exiting welcome header which has the wrong text and (2) add the $welcomeheaders variable to your header or navbar templates.

I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I don't have time to read 33 pages. This is an excellent mod, and I'd really like to install it. However, I'm curious what this mod does with spiders. My forum is ranked pretty high on the google forums because of the google spiders. Will this mod ignore the google spiders and let them lurk as they normally do? Does this mod only target "guest" and ignore "google spider" or "yahoo slurp spider"?

Thanks :)

Too bad. It really doesn't take very long to read the entire thread. But to spoon feed you, I doubt it will affect Google content spiders. I have a pretty well ranked site and have had this hack in for quite a while. My traffic continues to grow each month so I don't see it affecting my site traffic coming from Google.

It does tell Google AdSense not to consider the text within when figuring out what ads to place.

Thousands of sites use this with few, if any, reports of problems with their SERP listings. That said, you can turn your messages into images (rather than text) as vbSEO's site does which will reduce any potential SEO impact.

How would I structure the conditional statement to only show a particular welcome header phrase when the user is visiting a certain forum?

I tried this and it just showed it on every page of the forum... :(

Code:

                                  <if condition="$forum[forumid]=22">

                                        <!-- training forum announcement -->

                                        <br /> 

                                        <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> 

                                        <tr> 

                                                <td class="alt1">

                                                        <phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 3="sendmessage.php$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[welcome_trainingdisclaimer]</phrase>

                                                </td>

                                        </tr>

                                        </table>

                                        <br />

                                        <!-- / training forum announcement -->

                                <else />

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I changed it from

Code:

if condition="$forum[forumid] == 22"

Code:

if condition="$forumid == 22"

And it started working.
