Implemented Special instruction popup before posting in specific forums

[Mr Lucky]

People are famous for not reading T&C, notices or stickies.

So what I want is a small popup you can instigate on specific forums that have special posting requirements:

e.g. on a for sale forum people might get:

"Please note when posting a for sale notice, you must include an asking price, returns policy and shipping information"

On recipe forum:

"Please note the format of your recipe must include a bullet pointed list of ingredients and instructions, and ideally include an image"

FWIW, you can use notice criteria to do this now.

How do you make a notice act as a popup?

If you want a pop-up notification rather than a notice at the top of the page, then Notifications by @Chris D would suit your needs.

Is this going to be new in 1.4?

No, it's possible right now. You can select the forum and specify the template (thread_create) as page conditions.

Thanks, I'll look into that to see if it suits. Ideally it would be a popup as it should be something that stops people in their tracks before posting, however if I make the notice big enough it should do the trick instead, thanks.
