Hopefully this is in the right section if not mods please move it to the correct section.

So to my issue/request is we have quite a few new members to our site (m-g-club.com). I would like to set something up to after the person logs in instead of being re-directed to the main /front page another page comes displaying the sites/clubs rules. Either for a given amount of time or having a link on the page they can click on re-directing them to the main / front page. We have had some issues with new members and would like to refresh everyone's memory on what the site / club is about.

Login ---> rules and regs of the site / club ---> re-directs to main page.

Powered by SMF 1.1.13
TinyPortal v1.0 beta 3

thanks in advance for any help.

As an ex-MGB GT owner, myself, can I ask if this'd help?

That only redirects on registration.

hmm yeah it would work for new registrations which would help with new members signing up but I really would like it for existing members once they log in to have a pop up or a page they are sent to that has our rules and regs to remind them we dont tolerate hackers or glitching and basically treat each gamer with respect and courtesy no matter their skill level.

EVERY time they log in?

That'd drive me mental, that.

Why not have a sticky at the top of each board, or something?

No every time. Just want to run it for like a week. Yeah I suppose putting a sticky at the top of the front page would be the best and simplest option.

Well, you COULD alter index.php, in the root of your forum, to redirect them somewhere else, if you really want to do this. Although, that would show it to everyone who visits your site.

I'd have to figure out how, though, coz a coder, I ain't. :)

Thinking on it, though, I suspect there maybe a mod which we can butcher around to achieve this.

I'll have a look around, to see if I can find something likely.

Wow sweet ... I appreciate it. Ill toy around with it on our test site. But from reading the description it looks like what Im looking for.
