The "It appears that you..." hack

[KimmiKat]

When I came on this morning, I saw this neat think on the top of the board... What is the plug-in called? I had no luck on vB.org finding it.

I have actually been scares around these parts (and WHT) due to illness and doing a major overhaul on the transit site which should be done soon.

Hello Username,

It appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?

That's the Welcome Headers (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99579) hack.

It's a pretty cool hack.

1. It encourages those that haven't posted in some time to post; like the message you got.

2. Reminds those that haven't verified their account to do so.

3. Encourages those that have verified their account, but haven't posted, to introduce themselves in the Introductions forum.



:cool:

Thanks for the link! That would be good for the many on my mboard that never posted.

That's the plan. :dgrin:

Using this one myself. Terrific hack, and signups have increased a bit, most likey because of the friendly welcome (read: prodding) they get when reading as guests.

I've come across that in a few forums that I joined, but maybe have 0 or one post. It's a good idea. :beer:
