Index of Subjects This all sounds great. Is there an easy way to suck most of this stuff in to the home page (ie member x coming in via there mpowered account and netscape)? What I am imagining is perhaps a slightly more static version of the login page but with various bits plugged in -- a tip, the board message etc. I know how to do this on some servers with server side includes. Is there a similar capability with csuite? Of course, a more complex solution, involving cookies and things to present a non-dail-in user with his/her dynamic content would be great, but if we could easily modify the home page html that would be a first step. nesday, David Potter wrote: > >Prior to introducing the new welcome page to the general user base we >need to ensure that the information which we are presenting is suitable. > > >In review, the welcome page provides a vehicle for messages: > >1) from the board >2) from the membership committee >3) from the volunteer committee >4) from the ip committee, and (last but not least) >5) from the userhelp/documentation team > >----- > >With the _exception_ of userhelp/documentation these messages are >presented at specified intervals (days or on-line hours) and that ONLY ONE >of the board, membership, volunteer, or ip messages are presented during a >particular session. > >----- > >USERHELP >A tip from userhelp (documentation) is presented every login.
