My idea on why this mod would be useful was to use site-specific tips (like reminders of some rules, etc). That's why I've chosen to not populate the tips table on install.

However, in future versions I want to add a import/export feature that would allow to release a file with some default tips.

Yes. It picks one random tip (based on a configurable probabilistic weight defined by yourself).

can add tips for each forum ID??
Not in this version, sorry. And I don't think I'll be including it in future versions. Because my guess is that most people will set tips to be non-persistent (only 1 tip for browsing session, in the first page view), so forum specific tips would only be shown if the user enters to that forum. Even then, since the mod picks only one tip randomly, the forum specific tip would not always be seen.

You can use regular notices, they are more appropriate for forum specific messages.

Regular notices don't allow you to pick one of the available ones randomly. If there are several of them that mach the criteria, they are all shown.

So to speak, this mod adds a notice displaying a random "tip of the day".
