I can't figure a way to make the disclaimer go away. When you click on the discussion and get the box that you have to accept or decline - it used to go away. I am not the best programmer in the world. I get by. I have tried a number of things but it stays there. The old one was destroyed by the previous host and I just am having a heck of a time with making it go away.
Any PHP or Java programmers in the club?
I don't get any box [disclaimer] appearing at all on any discussion area. I had JAVA 5.0 on the XP computer-but couldn't get my hp officejet 7130 software to install with it. I finally found a place that had the old [before OS1] Microsoft Java Virtual Machine(that they had to remove due to a lawsuit with SunMicro); anyway, software installed find{after I unchecked Sun Java in the Advanced internet box}; don't know if that has anything to do with the box coming up or not. My built in pop up eliminator may be doing it if it is a popup.
Maybe you should query the troops to see who is seeing it and who is not.
Richard,
Thanks - I guess a lot of people are not getting to the Discussion board from the links at the top of our regular pages. Please go to this link
http://www.plymouthbulletin.com
Then click on the Discussion at the top of the page - do you get a warning then? It appears I don't know how to make that darn thing pop-up and then go away when you come here.
Anyone else care to help?

Mark-
When I go to the home page and then click the "discussion" like, I get the disclaimer page. When I click on "I understand", the forum opens in a new page. I'm using the latest Netscape on a Mac...

Yes - but the disclaimer window used to close - it does not now - that is my problem. You have to close it - that should not happen - Beats me how you get it to close automaticaly - if you answer no - I just redriect you back to Home page which is not good either. That is what I need to find out how to make work.
I also need to figure out how to set up a store and secure sockets (certificates) so we can take credit cards on line. Our new hosting service gives us a free certificate ($30.00 value) but I don't know how to set it up - I am learning a lot about them but I am still waiting for more confidence before I blow $30 of the clubs money and find out I did it wrong.
Mark-
boy, I don't know anything about java, but in html with my rudimentary plymouth website, I have a" target = blank" on some of the links that I want to have open in a new window. Seems like this is what is happening on the disclaimer page?
Pete
Pete,
Thanks for the thought.
If you look at the source code on that page, that is what I did too - but it still does not close on exit to the discussion.
Mark-
I just looked at the source for the disclaimer page, and here's what it shows with Netscape:
<td WIDTH="230">
<div ALIGN="CENTER">
<p>
<a HREF="http://plymouthbulletin.com/smf/index.php" target="new"><font FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I
understand</font></a>
</div>
I think the target-"new" is the problem, this is making the new window open when the text link is clicked, instead of opening the new page in the same window, effectively closing the disclaimer window?
Pete
I should have posted this - it is working the way I want it to now - I had a target in there that caused the new page to open - now when you click on either - you go back to the home and the page disappears or you go to the discussion and can go back if you want to. Without major possible damage - I can't figure out how to get the links to the rest of the site at the top of the discussion board - I don't really want to take a chance messing it up too much.
