My defintion of a first time user is:

PHP Code:

Q Can you point me in the right direction to create a page in front of my forum as displayed in the attachment of post#1.

I have asked the question at the vBa site as well, currently to no avail. Two "solutions" are floating around but they do not deliver what I (and others) seek:

1. The 'vba_cmps_include_getpage' hook option
2. The 'style fetch' hook option

I have added two more pictures in post #1.

1. Index1.php is the portal page for guests
2. Index2.php is the default vBa portal page for logged in guests.

Since index 1 & 2 differ so much I am not sure if I can achieve my goal with only using vBa with the right condition.

First I need a working mechanism to separate guests from regulars.

But I need some help of the vB community.
Then I can complete the styling and coding of index1.
