Did you know pop ups

[Michael Morris]

You should see one when you first visit. You'll only see one per day. Of course, you won't see one if you're pop-up blocker is on.

Err... pop-ups? What sort of pop-ups?

What pop-ups?

Why would you even consider putting a pop up on the site, with all the hatred they generate?

This sort of pop-up

http://www.enworld.org/forums/?do=didyouknow

That's what it contains when it successfully launches. It's only supposed to launch once a day. And it can be turned off from the Edit Options screen (a link to turn it off is included in it).

And yes, I'm aware of the unpopularity of pop-ups due to their abuse on virtually every site that has ever used them. This is an attempt on my part to help alleviate part of a common vbulletin problem - people not reading the FAQ and then asking the same questions over and over again.

I think I like them, maybe once a week would work better, I always turn them off if they pop up to often.

It loads very slowly though. Very.

Is there anything on here that *doesn't* load very slowly??

As a footnote, I think I have the editor fixed.

Wouldn't it be better to have these tips appear at the top of the page, where right now, a message from June/July greets me? I mean, pop-ups are loathed, and I'd say that a good amount of people have blockers installed anyway.

I get no pop!

No pop up blocker in play but at work so....

It al loads fine on my computer but the 'pop up' took about 2-3 minutes . What do you mean by editer?

Emphasis mine. What do you mean by the message?
