Template Modification
This modification is for STANDARD postbit. If you would like the Legacy postbit version of this modification, please click HERE. Thank You.


Added feature over standard version:

Adds a new section in your members profile that allows your members to choose where the 'emergency button' sends them.



What this mod does and how it works:

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 regular web sites, because if their boss walks in and catches them - they are up a creek without a paddle. This mod gives them a paddle! ;) Of course this mod could also be used if your members aren't at work, and they simply want a quick and handy way to go to another important site. All they need to do is to set this feature to Yes (in their profile) and type in the full URL for where they want the escape button to send them.

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 the URL that they requested in their own profile settings. Once there they can simply say they're doing a bit of 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. This code has been tested and shown to be compatible with vB 3.6. Thank you.

It is recommended that everyone download the updated version of the vB Xcape Hatch Mod. Step 7 is what has been updated. Thank you

I was thinking of adding a new feature to this hack where your members could use a hotkey on their keyboard, instead of clicking on the postbit button. All they'd have to do it press Alt-h and it would automatically HIDE your browser window altogether! Your boss would never even know you were on the Internet as you would go instantly to your desktop :p It's just an idea now, but if you guys like it I'll add it to the hack

I have been looking into this, but so far it looks like only Macs support it.

3.6 has a hotkey issue. I talked with vB about it but they say it's fine, so until the basic vB hotkeys start working again I won't be able to test it...
