This is a very cool module! It would be great if the module allowed you to define the number of times both an anonymous and admin user would see a certain page (1, 2, 3 etc) before they would then see a different default front page node. Maybe via the setting of cookie on their side - although if cookies are turned off this functionality should fail gracefully. This feature should also allow the admin to clear the cookie value so, when the time came, the admin could set everyone to start again as if they were first time visitors to the site.

The settings for this feature should be placed once under anonymous and again under authenticated as you've currently got the other functionality broken out.

Here is what I am attempting to do, I would like the first time anonymous visitor to see a special intro page the first two times they come to the site, after that I would like them to see a more blog style current news default node page. Then, I am sure that at some point in the future I am going to want everyone to see a special notice default page (again two times) then return to the regular default news page.

This functionality would be mostly used for the anonymous users, but on occasion the auth users also. For the anonymous because they are the ones new to the site so it is them that I would like to present the intro page - which of course would be boring to the authenticated users because they know what the site is all about. However, for the authenticated user that regularly visits, there is an occasional need to force even them to see a special notice page. It is unknown as to when this event could occur so it is difficult to time, therefore the clearing of cookie values to zero for the admins would allow me to force them to see the new info page upon next login.

I would be more than happy to document this feature when available.

I would need something like that aswell. In my case I just need to show a different start page the first time a new visitor gets to my site. Authenticated and all anonymous visitors that have already been to my site should see the default start page when they visit my site.

Would appreciate that feature a lot ..
