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.

I just installed this hack, but why does the box look like this? (see attached)

Slapyo · #**185** 06-22-2005, 01:14 AM

because you edited the content in the box to display line breaks. rather than the info being on just 1 line it is on multiple lines. you will have to condense your information, and make sure it is only on 1 line.

This is a great hack to install and will force guests to register. Thanks.

Nice one. Very helpful.

You dont need to look for . If you cant find it, just put it under <a name="top"></a>

Just 1 q... Will this have any effect on spidering the site?

Dont want to piss them off - they are touchy things.

Snake · #**190** 07-01-2005, 09:59 AM

Question. With this hack, it will force the guests to register which will get me more members or what?

should goof with spiders at all. they may just see the extra link to register. no big deal.

no, it won't force them to register. just a subtle reminder that they should register.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
