MOCKUP — This is a design preview of the first-login welcome popup for the GCIF Forum. Not live code.
Activity Affiliates Forums Upload Your Content Posts Resources

[Homepage content is dimmed behind the popup overlay]

The hero slider, mission statement, and other homepage content would appear here...

Implementation Notes (for Rian/Adi):

Trigger: Show on first login after account approval. Use localStorage key (e.g., gcif_welcome_shown) or a user meta flag.
Links:
- "Introduce Yourself" → /activity/ (with post form focused)
- "Browse the Forums" → /forums/
- "Complete Your Profile" → /members/{username}/profile/edit/
Dismiss: Close button or "I'll explore on my own" sets cookie/localStorage so it doesn't show again.
Location: Add to child theme custom.js + custom.css
Fallback: If user clears cookies, popup shows again (acceptable behavior).
