For the first time I have a need for a splash page on a site I'm working on.

What I would like to do is give the user the option of not seeing the splash page anymore once they've seen it.  I'm thinking I may be able to achieve this with my Traffic Director module (only show the splash page once to each user) but I would be very interested in hearing if others have any ideas on the subject.  Plus I would rather the user have the control as some may always want to see the splash page. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Stuart.

That's what I'm looking for - a way to skip the splash page.  But I didn't really want just the normal "Skip Introduction" button as the splash page get's shown everytime and you have to click the skip button everytime. I was looking for a way to include a button like "Never show Introduction Again".  Kind of like when you first open Photoshop you get that intro screen and you can check the box for it never to show again.

Variations on a splash page:
Stick a timestamp in your cookie (and create a session cookie as well in case the user has browser cookies disabled) and don't show a splash for that user until xx minutes/hours have elapsed since last cookie timestamp update.

You might consider reversing the "show splash" logic:  Show the default "landing" page and, on the landing page, have code that decides whether to throw up, say, an AJAX lightbox effect with your splash graphic.
 
 
Post a link with your eventual solution -- I'd be interested in what you find works best for the situation.
