    I am trying to get the splash screen to show every time someone visits the home page or refreshes it. Under the option of “Splash Recurrance” I have tried selecting a few different options but even when the option of “Recurring every hour” is selected, once a visitor has gone to the site for the first time the splash screen does not recur, no matter how much time has passed.

    AlyMarie, one possible explanation for what you’re experiencing may be that once a visitor receives a cookie that does not expire for a set period of time, they’ll never receive the next cookie, with the shorter expiration, until their original cookie first expires. So if someone gets a cookie that says don’t check back for 3 days, it won’t matter (to that visitor) that you changed the recurrence to 1 hour, until after that 3 days is up.

    It sounds like the ideal behavior would be that anytime you adjust the recurrence, all visitor’s cookies should immediately be trashed, and they should get a new cookie with the new expiry period. Does that sound right? One drawback to that would be that a visitor only just arriving would then immediately get another splash if you happened to have just changed the recurrence. Perhaps we could add a feature to immediately invalidate all existing cookies whenever you want to cut over to a new recurrence right away. Please respond with your thoughts! We’ll try to address this in the next update.
