I put in a nag screen to try to convince people to join. Is that a good idea or a bad idea? Should I move it over so it's not so much in the way?
It looks annoying, it could be better if you give th option for users to close it. Of course, this is just my opinion.
Actually, I was thinking the same thing. A little X in the corner people can click to make it go away (at least until they click on a link in the forum to go to the next page then they would have to do it again)...
This is the plugin im using:

How can I edit it to make it have a close button?
You can use this Spanish tutorial to archive that, I know nothing about js n.nU

LOL
Try looking up "to nag" in a dictionary. The word itself is a synonym for "to irritate".
So yes, it is annoying
