lstresrt Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I know you can make an Announcement and it will appear at the top of what ever sections you want.What I would like is to be able to make an Announcement that would pop up in a window right as a user logs in. Have it set up to where the user would have to check a "Read" box and close it for it to not pop up again for that user.This way you would know everyone saw it and "read" it. Kind of like the user agreements when you load software.Many people just use the "new posts" function and never see Announcements. Also, I use the IPB for some organization that require some Announcement to be seen by everyone. With the check box in play no one could say they did not read it. They may have ignored it but that would be their problem.Is there a way to do this now that I do not know of?If not, could it be done?Anyone else see usefulness in it?

Alahmnat Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 And if I'm using a pop-up blocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Barrie Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Oh, demons no. Not more superfluous Javascript. Already the boards' (client side) scripting is huge enough to require COMPRESSION to be usable at anything below 256Kb/s internet. Let's not increase that mmkay?

stobbo Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Its not like announcements would be shown everytime unless a admin decides he wants to add announcements every 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumps Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I know you can make an Announcement and it will appear at the top of what ever sections you want.IPB has a feature that will let you make global announcements on top of each of your forums automatically?? Really?I've never seen an "announcements" section, when inside the admin cp, that would allow admins to make a global announcement to all forums on the board.I must be blind -- where is this announcements feature?

grumps Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Its in the bottom of my controls menu.Thanks. I've never noticed this before. I would have assumed that such an admin tool would logically have been located inside the admin cp and, as such, I always thought IPB lacked such a feature.
