I would like to change the ages of my registration so all who register make their ages 18+

how do I do that?

Thanks

I am not possitive if that is a new feature in 3.7.0 but as far as I know it isn't. I would check under the Mod section as I KNOW for a fact there is something like this in the 3.6 mods somewhere as I used to use it on one of my old forums.

You cannot change COPPA. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm) is for the protection of children under 13.

Maybe forcing users to enter a valid DOB and adding an additional registration field that makes them acknowledge they are over 18.

Silly me :o

There is a minimum user age where you can set it to whatever on User Registration Options right at the bottom

I set it to 21 and it works :D


thanks :)

I can not find the setting to change the age. My site is using 3.6.8 PL2.

Yep, now that I've gone looking for it, you are correct... there is no such setting. :rolleyes:

Msfantastico, where are you looking, or are you on vB3.7?

You will have to ban all members under 18. Use the user search in adminCP.
