What do you suggest then? and whats good for a gradient/background type thing?

I think we already suggested - everybody in the thread has offered the opinion that splashpage = no good. At anyrate - I was quite serious about a flash intro - it can be nice I suppose if the intro is attractive, riveting, well-designed and specific to your content. You would probably need to hire a flash artist though.

Hmm well can you explain/help? =X

A quick example ==> http://jacquiidesigns.com/flash/redirected.htm
The flash intro has sound - so adjust your speakers

That is amazing. HELP ME? =p

I dont need it that long, i just need it sweet and simple and so they cant skip the intro.

Actually - that's just an edited file from flashden I believe...
I just edited the text - I'm not a flash designer though - so you'd probably need someone who is more adept at flash design to achieve a similar concept

http://flashden.net - It may also be a flash intro from http://templatemonster.com as well - I'm not sure which - but there are several online sources that specialize in flash intros - use Google newb :P -- Just teasing LOL - couldn't resist - anyway = enjoy and good luck - It's friday - I'm taking a Crown Royal break tehehehe - and no = generally any customized flash design will cost ya money - flashden is nice though - you can add $20 to your account and purchase for very decent prices.

Set the timers up correctly, and what it does is, goes to the site, shows the information 30 seconds later the enter site button comes up.... probably design it with some cool art work and gradients.

Heh, your idea would work, if it wasn't an "Click to Enter Site" but if it was a registration prompt.. so, they can view your forum for like, a minute, before your timed javascript kicks in, and basically says "Oi, you've seen enough, like it? Good, well you can click here to register and become a part of this great community!".

For sanity's sake, I'd make it pop up after 45 - 60 seconds MINIMUM, and only appear on the index/adv_index. Give your users time to log in.

For this, here's what happened:

1] Had to click
2] Had to pause music (nono)
3] Had to wait for it to laod (it stuck on 8%)

I just clicked off :/ That's not what you'd want if that was the intro to your forum, right?

Flash is a no-no too.
