Feature Suggestion: allow the icon to be a link pointing to a defined url. We could use variables, just like we do in the text. In my first usability studies, many people click on the icon, so allowing it to be a link would increase the conversion rate of the greeting box.

Also, let me drop my recommendation for users that want to test WP Greeting Box on their blogs: I am using the refSpoof firefox addon and couldn't find anything better so far: it allows you to fake the referral to a page by simply typing it in a toolbar. Works great!

Kudor for the plugin! I see that it gets updated quite often!
Suggestion: keep a version history for the plugin somewhere in the site.

Hi Thaya,

Thanks for the great plugin, it's really awesome, and it works flawlessly out-of-the-box!

There is just one thing, but one which I consider a *major* annoyance. Since the greeting shows up only after loading the whole page, it moves down the page content after it abruptly when the greeting gets shown.

It turns out, that there are many secondary elements that keep loading way after the content is shown, so when the greeting appears, the reader is most likely already reading the content and can definitely feel the bump.

I understand that this is because it's done in AJAX and to bypass cache restrictions (such as WP-SuperCache), but I still have some questions/feature requests/observations...

1. Is there a way to implement the greeting without using AJAX, and still bypass WP-Super-Cache? My guess would be yes, since WP-Supercache provides functions for plugin programmers to use and hook into. I understand this is a major change, but it would allow referral detection via PHP, getting rid of the bump issue, and making the plugin work for non-Javascript users, too.

2. Is is possible to make the javascript load sooner (i.e, without having to wait the whole page to load?)

3. Provided that I will show a greeting EVERY TIME, is there a way that I can "reserve the space" in my page for the greeting to show up? I mean, show a default div with a rotating loader gif that gets replaced by the greeting as soon as it loads, or at least have a blank space so that the content loads in its proper position (without the 'bump' I mentioned)?

I appreciate all the effort you put into this and hope that considering my questions can help you make it even better.

Thanks in advance!
