Great mod.
If it is slightly extended, so that you can set the warning so it automatically leads further to the forum, it can be used for adds, contest announcements, general info, etc.

Does this affect the whole forum? I'd use it if I could make the message show on only the forums that I chose, Does this do that?
Thanks a lot for the share.

Can this be set to NOT clear that cookie via an option?

That would be tremendously useful.... Great addition.
