I have an idea for the cBox when (and if) it's ever renewed.

I'm not sure in which .tpl file the code for the cbox is placed, but if you surround the code with the same switches as found in the cms_login.tpl portal file, then you can make sure that the cBox is only viewable (and therefore usable) by registered SSL members who are logged in.

I know the cBox didn't tend to suffer from spam by unregistered members before, but this is an extra precaution... just in case.

The switches are:
Code:
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_out -->

**cbox code goes here**

<!-- END switch_user_logged_out -->


Just something I've done with my forum, thought SSL might benefit from it too

Yeah, I noticed the Quick Sign In box at the top, looks great.

Just one idea: why not have it so that it displays only on the Index page?

I think it's a bit pointless on the "Log In" and "Log in to see personal messages" pages.

Yeah, he "will maybe one day"!

That day might be in several years, or it might not be at all!

That's what Joey meas by "ever"

Thanks for the suggestion...I've thought about it quite a lot since we first got it but despite the spam when people are looking for the first time and they see the cool Cbox they might be impressed so Im not sure we should only have it for logged in members...

And also it's END switch_user_logged_in Lol

Oh yeah, oops.

Also, good point about that... maybe put an image or some kind of example.

Meh, I'm clutching at straws here
