I have created a simple MOD that I have seen, but had to make it work with the standard Snitz as the code that it was in did not work.
It is an Alert Bar to help get non-members to sign up to the foums and is a simple MOD to implement. It is not everyones idea of a good thing, but it was something that I quickly put together to hopefully increase my users.
Demo here: Classic Motorcycling Australia Forums
Download here: Alert Bar Mod v1.0
The demo only shows up for users that are not logged on. It shows the yellow bar across the top of the browser. Very simple to implement, a matter of uploading 2 .gif images and a .asp file and changing your inc_header.asp file.

Nice job, David! I've seen that before also and thought it would be a great tool to have.
Thanks for sharing!

I've always leaned against that style because it looks like an alert that the website is trying to install something. To me, that yellow bar has a negative connotation. But that could be just me. I put a box right above the forum table.

A person could rig it to store a cookie and be hidden using a hide or hide this notice link. I haven't looked at the code yet, but it probably could also be rigged that when the mouse rolls over it, in x amount of seconds it gracefully fades away.

I like it very much, thanks!

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e57'
