Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates
Developer Last Online: Nov 2020
Out of the box, your forum isn't personalized to assist or address your visitors. As a result, guests entering on a page other than the homepage (which is most often the case) have no idea what to do or why to register. Additionally, there are no visible status indicators, making it confusing for unconfirmed, unapproved or new members to know what to do or where to begin. But with a little customization, the use of the vBulletin Notices System and Welcome Headers, you can solve these issues in just a few minutes.
What is Welcome Headers? Welcome Headers is a set of predefined messages and rules designed to help you get started in personalizing your site's notices using the vBulletin notice feature. The default templates are just that, default ? I highly encourage you to modify and add to the language and rules to meet the needs of your actual community environment. Modifications/ Instructions: Plugins: 1 (notices entries, rules and phrases) This template hack should take under 5 minutes to implement and customize. Installation/ Upgrade Instructions 1 ? Backup any existing welcome header messages (upgrading) 2 ? Remove the default welcome header from your forum home template (new installs) 3 ? Install the attached plugin file 4 ? Now Required: Customize the messages to include your site's name For detailed instructions on each step please view the install.html file included with this addon. Support Please post any enhancement or technical questions you may have and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. Please note: I can not guarantee an immediate response and am unable to assist with integrating this addon with other addons or with HTML related questions. Why use this when the notices system exists? Welcome Headers have been around since before vBulletin 3.0 but as of 3.7 the functionality of the system was no longer needed as vBulletin added its own native feature to handle notices. However while the notices feature lets you show welcome header style messages it doesn't give you any to start with. This addon no longer adds functionality but instead provides a set of 4 notices that have been time-tested and help your forum grow and function better for guests and members. Please be sure to customize and add to the messages from this addon to match the individual needs of your forum! Older Version Support While most users are choosing to upgrade to the notices system, there are some advantages to the "old" system mainly in that it does not rely on a rules system and can be configured as designed with code changes. Additionally, the "old" version has automatic interfacing with several other addons which the notices system does not. For this reason, the old version is still supported and remains fully compatible with 3.8. Updates from 3.7 No changes have been made; the code needed for both is the same so upgrading is not necessary. Download Now

It looks like you have some other code in your custom template calling in the second notice. Since your template is customized you will have to find and remove this.

If it shows up when you tell it to then it's working correctly. I can't check for you as I don't know which notices you are using under which conditions.

Try resaving the notices and checking their order.
