Create redirection message? Empty Create redirection message?

Is it possible to create a redirection message and enable it to show every time a member log in to my forum? For example if a member log in, after he/she press the log in button, a message will automatically show up that says "Thank you for loging in, username." If this is possible, how do I do that? Thanks in advance.

For this you need a pop up message code, the following may work, but i havent tested it yet. Place it in your homepage message box.

Code:
<!-- Start Alert PopUp Message Prompt JavaScript Code -->
<!--
// == This Script Free To Use Providing This Notice Remains In Place ==
// == This Script Has Been In The http://www.DesignerWiz.com Javascript Public Archive Library ==
// == NOTICE: Though This Material May Have Been In A Public Depository, Certain Author Copyright Restrictions May Apply ==
-->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">alert("[b]You are entering DesignerWiz.com Web Site - We put interaction into your Web Site presence needs and solutions[/b].")</script>
<!-- End Alert PopUp Message Prompt JavaScript Code -->

Just change the bit inbetween the bold tags.

Thanks a lot, zinex. It worked, but the message turned out like this:
"<Strong>text</Strong>". Is it possible to delete the strong tags? BTW, is it possible to customise the redirection message so that it show different usernames every time a different member log in? eg. "Thanks for logging in, username." Thanks for all your help.

i think you can delete the strong tags. for the username part, follow these instructions

https://help.forumotion.com/manage-the-appearance-of-your-forum-f45/guide-add-me-code-to-your-forum-t9825.htm and in your message pop up, type the following:

Code:
thanks for logging in, {username}
let me know if it works!

Thanks for all your help. I've tried all your instructions and I'm glad to inform you that it did work for the chatbox. However, can I set this redirection message upon my members log in to my forum, instead of the chatbox? Thanks again, zinex and I apologise for all the trouble. salut

well i quite liked this code so i pinched it too! I tried it out in the index and found that each time the page refreshed it popped up again and again. So i edited my portal template and it only comes up the once when members first see the portal. Unfortunately the username part doesnt work.
