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.
