MyBB Community Forums

On log in, is it possible to display a short message/reminder/bulletin? Something users can't ignore or bypass?

We are using MyBB to update employees on issues, events and the like so when we want to the be aware of something can we force them to read a message once they log in?

Thanks in advance!


Power corrupts, but absolute power is kinda cool -----

You could try the following plugin. It forces users to read a thread that you specify. (may work for multiple threads)

If you want to redirect your users to portal after they logged in to your forum then open Yes, open ./member.php and find; around line # 1088

redirect(htmlentities($mybb->input['url']), $lang->redirect_loggedin);

and change it to;

redirect("portal.php", $lang->redirect_loggedin);

You may change portal.php to thread URL as well. This is useful if you don't want to Install a plugin.

That's fine.
Hacking core files is sometimes an option, IMO, especially on 'mature' projects which rarely update.

That's correct.

Thank you for all the replies. went with the plugin
