Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me, locate/ do mods for vBulletin.

There are three features which I would love for my forums. These are as follows:

Custom Drop Down List Information in postbit.
What I mean by that, is in the USERCP for profiles, I would like them to select if they are Male or Female, and it shows in the post bit as Sex: Male or Sex: Female or if they don't say anything, then it's blank.

Example:- I am a male. I select this from the menu in Edit my Profile, and when I post it comes up with either a picture that represents Male or simply under "Posts: 800" it says "Gender: Male"

At the bottom of a thread it says who is viewing it and if applicable, who is replying to it.
Theoretically this can be done. But how, I have no idea. The idea is at the bottom of the thread, above the footer it says stuff like this:

User 1, User 2, User 3, User 4, User 5

They'd be displayed in order of activity, where if you hover over them it shows whoever when they last read the thread, and italics are were people are replying to the thread.

I've seen this somewhere else, however I think that was for IPB [Which, I shall not use, as I am a vBFan lol]

NO UNDER 18's ALLOWED!
Basically, I want my user registration form, to deny registration, to anyone under the age of 18. This is because my forums are adult based, and I've been getting 14 year old sexed up pervs coming to the site [Which have had to be banned].

I know they could lie about their age, but I need to protect my ass, and then I can turn around and say to disguntled parents "We have placed an age limit on the forums, however if your minor has lied to us about the information provided then it is you that is at fault for not watching what they're doing. Don't take your faults out on us, until you're parenting skills are perfect"

[Okay, something along those lines, nicer probably. But you get the point]

Just had a few emails from parents in the past, and one just a few hours ago, who is trying to threaten legal action against me... [To no success, luckily she doesn't have a ground to stand on. But I've had to hold ALL registrations, until I get it fixed, as my web host has ordered me to.]

I believe the first 2 have been released here. You just need to search for them.

However, the under 18 registration, I will work on. Possible timeframe to have that done will be tomorrow or Thursday

surely the under 18 thing would be doable with a simple line of code change... just change the under 13 thing to under 18 instead. Stop the coppa users from seeing anything and your issue is solved.

Another suggestion, we have a disclaimer form which members have to fill in to access our adult forum; you could do this on registration with a custom profile field. Having someone type in 'I am over 18' and that they agree to the fact that the site is adult oriented and they are legally able to access that material in the country they reside in would help greatly

The first one is a template mod, with a custom profile field.

You serious?! Thank you again... I think I know who's getting a christmas card this year.

You have been so much help and I really do appreate it. I've nomitated your under 18 blocker as MOTM. Because I think it deserves at least that.

Still not had any luck in finding this... Yet I know for a fact it WAS on here a year ago... It's gone now, without a trace.

for under 18, all you have to do is make it in teh terms & conditions. & in the rules when they sign-up. then you cant get in trouble for it

For At the bottom of a thread it says who is viewing it and if applicable, who is replying to it:
Go to AdminCP>vBulletin Options>vBulletin Options>Thread Display Options (showthread)
Show Users Browsing Threads: Yes (w/e you want it to be)

dont know how to do the italics, but that shows the people viewing

No. I could install https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217059 and have done.

One mother from the US [Personal comment withdrawn] has decided to proceed in taking legal action because her 14 year old daughter registered to site that clearly stated "Unless you're over the age of 18, or 21 in some countries/ states... Go away." [Not the exact message but you get the point]

She lied about her age and this is something we are going to have to fight legally.

If you had of read the thread you would of seen that this has now been fixed. Hopefully the mod will now cover us legally as now there will be evidence that the person has to lie to us.

That's what I was talking about. Surely there is a mod for this feature somewhere.
[Thanks for pointing out where that was. I'll activate this for now, but I still would love that mod... Where ever it went]

The problem with this is:
- It either displays Alphabetically or Randomly. Not in order of time of last activity.
- Doesn't italic people writing to the thread.
- Doesn't show if they are posting or reading.
