absolutly one of the best mods there is at the moment
now users don't have a excuse anymore that they did not read something

i will nominate this for mod of the month
and i hope other admins will see the use of this mod
keep up the good work

and maybe you can put something in that exclude some usergroups
like admins and moderators vip and donators because they are redirected also

great hack but it will be much better if had one more option. to do it by user group n would be very handy to redirect new users to a certain forum,cause i don't understand why someone wanna redirect a user who has been coming to your forum for the past 2 years or months.you said it on top yourself that it might annoy some users.
should have some sort of cookie detection so the same user doesnt have to go to the same page over n over.don't mind .just a thought

i still have users who dont understand anything about rules
i even have the thread stencil installed and still they delete the stencil and post theire own posting
some users will never learn

but a usergroup filter would be nice to add in this hack

A usergroup option to only apply this to certain usergroups would be good. I'll see what I can do about that.

that would be really super and i will keep track of this mod
when you release it i will be the first one to install it
maybe and i dont know if this is posible it could be linked to the ammount of postings a user has
some thing like this
under 10 postings redirect
over 10 postings no redirect

:up:

Would it be possible to open the redirect in a new tab or where would I add target="_blank" in the .xml or somewhere else?

hi club ample, you can easily convert that using a .htaccess file with the following content

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) member.php?&username=$1

This file uploaded in your forum path will allow you to change the url of the member to its username...

example: hxxp://www.yourdomain.com/forums/kaasie would send you to the profile of kaasie

i am not sure if this is what you mean but i hope i could help
have a great day
