Children on forums

[MishyMashy]

I don't want to ban under 16s from my forum as there isn't anything that is adult content anyway but to keep them safe online I was wondering if there is a way to show users that someone is under 16 years old? something that can be added under their username or in their signature?

thanks.

vBulletin alread has a feature during registration to add a birthdate. It isn't mandatory though.

Yes, you could use a basic if statement in the postbit template for this.

Provided the users enter their real age.

If you want a bold red message directly below the username in the postbit (assuming you have the online status next to the username), then create a plugin with the hook location "postbit_display_complete" with the code:

if ($post['birthday'])
{
$age = floor((TIMENOW - strtotime($post['birthday']))/31556926);
if ($age < 16)
{
$post['onlinestatus'] .= '<div style="color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;">User is ' . $age . ' years old!</div>';
}
}
