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

Yes, the ability for users to request never to be shown the warning again (for each forum) via a permanent cookie will be in the next version.

This is a quality mod.

Thanks for your time Kirk.

Looks like a great mod. I'll wait for the permanent cookie version

let me say... very nice disclaimer... i really like the fact that it dont continue to pop up for the same user unless he deletes his/her cookies.. really nice..

Great MOD! I would love to have this on a per post basis.
Reason being, many posts have specific content and it would be great if members could alert others accordingly.

Any chance it could work at that level?

Only in the instance where a single post is being viewed.
ie: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=37

There's really no way to display this kind of warning for specific posts. I imagine it could be possible to display a warning above each postbit - but that's going beyond the intended function of this modification.

Can you make it so it displays when a users enters the forum like right when they type YOURFORUM.com and it pops up..

You mean your forum's index? Yeah, I suppose I can add that functionality into the next version.
