Continuing the discussion from Discourse Reactions - Beyond Likes: [image]Discourse Reactions [image]Discourse Reactions Incidentally I like the “You need to sign in or sign up before continuing” screen that appeared. What plugin or theme component did that? It seemed to be based either on posts read or time spent, rather than topics read. That is default Discourse behaviour, it’s not a plugin or theme component. What are the settings to achieve this effect? I’m currently using the guest gate theme component but would prefer to use standard settings if possible. Thanks. [image]

I thought you might have been, though wasn’t sure. Maybe @seanblue knows :slight_smile:

I think that is with DiscourseConnect. Redirect to the main site to login or register.

I can imagine the login/registration process using that. But how does the “you need to sign in” message know to pop up when it does? I was reading the topic and after a while it just appeared.

I checked the site again and nothing Popup for me. I think if you use mobile, probable you accidentally tap the like button while scrolling and it redirected to the main site. Many times happens to me :slightly_smiling_face:

I think you are right! It happens when I scroll down the page using my right thumb, which is in line with the like button. It’s odd, as it happens during the scrolling process (as well as when I deliberately click the heart). The software must react more quickly than me to what my own thumb is doing. I now prefer the default Discourse behaviour, which greys out the topic and overlays a “Welcome back!” login modal. Less confusing to tired people like me today :slight_smile: And the Guest Gate theme component is good at what it does too.

Ah, I see. That is not the screen that I was referring to. I was talking about this one:
