Welcome block Add-on for vbAdvanced

Updated Instruction file: The block now looks like the rest of the homepage and not just a box.

Hello;

As requested by neogen at vBulletin.nl in this thread

Here is my Welcome block for vbAdvanced

I thought up the idea but I got major help from TYorke on this in the vbAdvanced thread.

What it does it place a block on your homepage, where you can post a welcome to all of your users, and links to important information if you'd like.

I have set up some links, one to my Legal Information pages, and one to my new games section

You can see a demo at my site http://www.tomshawk.com

I don't understand why it was necessary for it to be a hack. I think I'm "blind" here. Why can't you just create a new template/module, that can only be seen by unregistered users? You could just use whatever text/links/format you wanted for the welcome block?

What is the difference between the 2 possible ways to do this?

Here is what I did, just using vbadvanced settings, no hacks used at all. Only non-registered/logged out members see it.

This hack, is for the vBadvanced Homepage , not for the vBadvanced CMPS (Content Management & Portal System)
