Information Bar for Guests · **Version:** 3.0.10

Information Bar for Guests (for version 3.5.0)

What is this?
This will display an information bar across the top of the browser window that appears to be like the Information Bar that is from Windows XP SP2. When the user clicks it they will be sent to the registration page for your forums. This is not a popup.

If the user is logged in then this will not display at all. This only appears on the page for people who are not logged in.

are you talking about having the username/password and login button in the bar at the top? if so, you basically just need to view the source of the forums and find the <form></form> that wraps the login section. then you would need to modify it so that it fits without distorting the bar.

also i wanna say that this works in 3.0.5 with no changes. i upgraded just fine.

Is not that simple, I tried that...but is not working...

be careful playing with that block, you might mess up your forum.

i know it isn't as simple as i said, but those are the basic steps you need to take.

like lionel said ... it could mess things up so be careful.

i've been curious to see how this would work out. when i started it on my forum i had 0 referrals. i now have 15 referrals. so in a month and a half it has given me 15 people. now that may not be all that much for some boards out there. but i have a tiny site right now and am just trying to get word spread. needless to say, i'm very pleased about the results.

has anyone else noticed an increase in user sign-ups from using this?

Wow. This is really nice. I'll be adding it to my boards, good job! The way it's put there... it's perfect at making people register, it's really good.
