End-User Options - Boss Friendly Forum - Legacy Postbit

This modification is for postbit LEGACY. If you would like the standard postbit version of this modification, please click HERE. Thank You.


How would you like to encourage people to surf your forum more often while they are at work? A lot of people are afraid to go to forums while they are working, because if their boss walks in and catches them - they are up a creek without a paddle This mod gives them a paddle :p Of course this mod could also be used if your members aren't at work, and they simply want a quick way to look something up at Google.

This mod inserts a special section in each members profile which asks your members if they want to display an 'emergency escape' button in every postbit. Then, if anyone happens to walk into the room while they are at work surfing your forum, they simply click on the 'escape' button, and it immediately sends them to Google, where they can simply say they're looking something up for work related research. This gives your members more confidence to surf your forum, over another forum that doesn't have this hack installed. If a member doesn't want the button to show up, they simply turn it off at any time in their profile. This also gives guests another reason to register on your site, as this feature is only available to members. We recommend that you make a formal announcement telling your members about this new feature, or they may not know it exist in their profile. Thank You ;)

OK give me a sec and I'll try to work up some magic

Try this code instead and see if that does what you want:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Replace fieldX with your field number. Let me know if that helps

Re-download the latest version. It should work better for you ;)

Hack works perfectly except I seem to have a problem with the default setting on "yes"

In order to get the hack to work you must set it to no, and then put it back to yes. Once that is done, it works great. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

seems like a nice hack, handy for those with a lot of members that aren't allowed to surf during the hours ;)

the button look ... hmmmm ... lol
i created one for my own board:

feel free to use it

Yeah there are soooo many different styles out there that making a button to fit all of them is almost impossible. Feel free to make a custom button to fit your particular skin. Enjoy ;)
