I would agree with abdobasha2004. I am not a fan of arriving at websites that tell me what browser I should be using. An alert/advisory note for existing members would be more suited.

Agree 100%, new visitors might think it's a virus or spam of some sort. I like the mod and will add it if could be only viewable to members.

You could just rephrase the message to be more informational rather than scary too though I would think.

I suppose that's another option . But if Danny can mod it for members only, I'd rather that.

Would be nice I can see your point on guest viewing it. I saw another site I went to state "you are using a popup or ad blocker please disable as the ads pay for our site" LOL Half those ads are why people use those programs as they bog things down. Sorry to get off topic.

I posted a request for this type of mod on here a few days ago, so it is nice to see a mod come to light.

As mentioned before, it would be nice to determine what usergroup gets to see it (it should allow multiple not just one.)

Also, it would be nice to be able to have it check for various browser-types (such as outdated Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.)

I also agree that it should be within the site like a Notice instead of attached to the top.

Another option. set it as "Persistent" if desired as well as if it is "Dismissable" or not.

There seems to be an issue with this mod that I believe no one here yet noticed and it could greatly affect your SEO because if you're not logged in, you get this error and are unable to view forums. Here is the error: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...-Not-Logged-in

I now uninstalled this mod, because of the error and also because they are right, visitors wouldn't like it as well. But that's just me.
