https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=72279 - Original hack for 3.0.x
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97150 - Hack for 3.5.x

What is this?
This will display an information bar across the top of the browser window that appears to be like the Information Bar that is from Windows XP SP2. When the user clicks it they will be sent to the registration page for your forums. This is not a popup.

If the user is logged in then this will not display at all. This only appears on the page for people who are not logged in.

Imported Infitech,

I looked at your screen shots and saw that you have a give away running on your forum. If you don't mind, what mod are you using.

Thanks

It's probably because you had the plugins installed.
I'm sure anyone else installing this mod that is on a freshly installed OS will get the same problem.

Has anyone heard of this before?

I have the same problem but need someone to be a little more clear for me as to what to do. Sounds like an easy fix.

I got it taken care of, thanks.

I installed this yesterday. I usually average about 5 new members/day. Yesterday I had only 1 from 12AM to 5:30PM when I installed this hack. From 5:30pm to midnight I got 9 new members.

I'll let everyone know if the trend continues, but I think this definitely gets guests' attention.

The only drawback is I have a couple of people that are members that insist on logging in/out every visit, and they are annoyed by the popup. I don't think there is any way to help them.

Just a quick update. I've had this installed for 5 days now, and received 53 new members in that time. For the 5 days preceeding I had 36. This modification increased visitor-to-member conversion about 33% on my board.
