Hello,

Create a loading page before accessing your forum such as here! Wink

It's fast and easy to do

First of all create a HTML page and add it to the homepage.

Admin panel > Modules > HTML > HTML pages management.

Create a new HTML page
Do you wish to use your forum page header and page footer ? No
Use this page as homepage ? Yes
Insert the following code in the "HTML code" field without the red parts (these are comments) :

<BODY BGCOLOR=black> 
<center><img src="Welcome_image_address"></center> 
<center>Welcome on XXX (Forum name) </center>
<center> </center>
<a href="Second_HTML_page_link"><img alt="" src="http://palettevilloise.be/Gif/button_enter.gif" width="144" height="52"></a> <img src="http://www.icone-gif.com/gif/noel/lignes/noel_lignes027.gif"> 
<div style="text-align: right;">Powered by <a href="https://www.forumotion.com" target="_blank">forumactif.com</a></div></BODY>

Save

Create a second HTML page where will be displayed the loading image.

Create a new HTML page
Do you wish to use your forum page header and page footer ? No
Use this page as homepage ? No
Insert the following code in the "HTML code" field without the red parts (these are comments) :

* In CONTENT="4;--> the number 4 represents loading time, in seconds ! In the link add the real address of your forum (forum or portal)

Save

Then go back to your first page (the homepage) and add a link to the second page !
