Alex,

This has come up a few times before...

I can't think of any way to do this without queries which I'd like to avoid. But I'm still thinking.

Ted, I am by no means a Javascript expert (I much prefer server-based languages), but shouldn't it be possible to control this all via Javascript? Via Javascript, you could set an additional cookie when a user clicks on the close button and that cookie could contain information when it was the last time the message popped up.

Using a cookie like that is an option but it also has limitations (i.e. users who use multiple machines) but may be the best option.

True. Well, it'd be fantastic if you could implement something like this (cookie-based message click away) if you get the chance. In the meantime I'll disable the inactivity welcome header because of the negative feedback I received from it.

Still, one of the most useful hacks. Thanks!

Thanks for the mod. How do I add links, bullets and such to the messages?

real good stuff

Go to the welcome headers options and select the messages you wish to modify.

This is appearing on every page, any way to limit it to the home page?

Sorry if this is answered already.

You could edit the template welcome_headers adding the variable THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' but that would defeat the entire purpose of the hack and I wouldn't recommend using it.

Remember, just because it's your homepage doesn't mean it's the page someone comes to your site through.

This is an awesome hack, thank you! :up:
