What does this do?
This modifications adds the ability to give specific forums "warning messages" that are shown to the user before he/she enters the forum.

3. Setup the Global Options through the vBulletin Options menu.

document.write('<div id="slashpage" style="position: absolute; z-index: 100; bottom:90px; left:275px; color: gray; background-color:$vboptions[splashbgcolor]; border: solid 1px black;">') //Main splashpage container
document.write('<div style="color:white;width:700px;height:150px;padding:5px;" class="splashtext" align="center">')

Red = Location of Pop-up
Blue = Dimensions of Pop-up

Take a look

The problem in IE it's not in the div position
if it's static, it's working fine... it's something with the Dinamic definition

No, this modification wasn't intended to show a warning message for threads within the forum - only on the forum itself. If there is a high enough demand for such an option, I'll look into adding one.

v1.04 Released
- Added control for dimensions (height and width) of the warning pop-up
- Added control for position of the warning pop-up via X,Y coordinates

I'd defintely need it for a particular forum section rather than the forum home. Please can you add this option?

What would be even better is any thread that disaplys in recent posts that falls under any R18 forum that the hack is enabled for would display the warning. How possible is this?

i guess it would be better to have this option...coz' it will be useless then...if someone click to the last post...seen at the right side..they can auto-get inside without having that warning sign...right?...i hope you can add this one...
...this is really a nice mod in deed...anyway thanks for the new update too...

thanks and best regards...

The modification already does this... it's never shown a warning on the forum home; hence the name Forumdisplay Warning Message. :erm:

Great mod and I really appreciate how developer listens to users.

Issue: Latest mod has x,y position options as well as x,y box dimension options.

Those options are NOT used in the plugin -- the original values are hard coded in the plugin.
Here is the plugin sourcecode to show that:

document.write('<div id="slashpage" style="position: absolute; z-index: 100; bottom:90px; left:275px; color: gray; background-color:$vboptions[splashbgcolor]; border: solid 1px black;">') //Main splashpage container
document.write(this.defineheader) //header portion of splashpage
document.write('<div style="color:white;width:700px;height:350px;padding:5px;" class="splashtext" align="center">')

Fixed, try now.
