curious about the splash screen option | Forum

I played around with the splash screen option a bit.  It occured to me rather quickly that it might need alittle bit of tweeking.. If you set the url to the leave option to a another page of the site i just keeps looping back to the splash screen which is normal because the leave page is part of the domain.

 

So that means that to use it i would need to create a file on another one of my domains for the leave option so that it actually leaves this domain and goes to the other domain.

 

Anyone come up with a better option for this? 

 

Thanks.

Yes i understand that an that is my point, in the splash screen options it gives you an input to put the url for the leave, otherwise the button does nothing. If  you put any url in that input that is part of your domain, all it does is bring you right back to te splash screen, looping. 

 

So the only way to affectively have them leave your site is to put a url outside of your domain, which is the problem.   I suppose i could put www.google.com lol

 

See so it should not be  url oriented, the leave button should just be set up as a javascript close to just close the site window, thats all.

i did try to just leave the "leave url" blank (so the leave button wont show) and then get the splash screen textarea to accept a javascript close but it wont accept it, so i guess that idea is busted lol..

Another thing i wanted to add is that the site page loads for a moment before the splash screen does, then the splash screen appears. Would be better if it just loaded the splash screen directly if activated, it just looks kinda funky with the site page loading for 1 sec then the splash screen pops up..
