Well, our average age demographic is well over 55+, so we see a lot of older folks who are on corporate small business LANS. Perhaps it's unique to us, but if you think about it, this mod really is ideally suited to be integrated into vBulletin's "Notice" function under AdminCP as a checkbox option, complete with vBulletin's "dismiss" option ...

Un-installed ... thanks for your efforts ...

arabic languages plz

[FASEOFMARS]

the images are not showing.....

and is their any way to make it block ie 7 also?

[mcyates]

I'm going to have to find some new images and save them onto my server!

[CrystaStarLight]

Hi! Good thinking, but do we still need to do this in 4.0.6, or 4.0.7?

[Raeven]

Good Idea, actually something I just had 2 days ago the Idea, to search if someone made it already .
But a question, would it be possible to expand it a little bit (to also check other Browser). Since on a gaming clan, there are not the huge problems with people being all the time at work :P

//edit: An Option to select witch Browsers you "support" would be also nice (since so far I don't have spotted any Safari users in my Forum, so I kinda don't really care for it, but the Logo then on the Top would look like i would)

[chjp]

Not work with vbb4.1

[alghzil]

can we have the arabic copy ?
