Ok, I realize that this mod is not supported, but can anyone help me with this problem?
Running v3.67pl2 ....
When you set the option so that a user can "Continue forward and never show again", it doesn't seem to work? If you select that option, close down the browser and then go back into the same forum, it presents the same message again? This happens in both Safari and IE browsers.
Don't cookies get cleared at that time someone logs out of the site, or quits their browser?
I'm not a real smart person but if the cookies are cleared, then what's the point of this option at all? I thought it was supposed to set a cookie so the user never had to view the forum splash message again, assuming he selected the option "never" above?
What am I missing, or is there a BUG in this mode?
Thanks for any feedback...
Regards,
Badger
ps: In IE I also get a page error when the splash mod displays:
Line 168
