For registrations....

[Vladdy]

Is there a way to make it necessary that the person registering MUST enter a birthdate? This would obviously fall in line with COPPA users and would help boards who have to grant access to newly registered members. I am sick of e-mailing newly registered members because they haven't entered a birthdate. We have the board set up where we grant access to newly registered members due to issues we've had in the past. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hmmm, I don't have that as a profile field though, I suppose I should enter it...

By doing this will I now have 2 Birthdate fields? I mean currently it says the one that is there is optional, is there anyway to remove it saying it is optional?

Whoops, I saw "Biography" instead of "Birthday."

I'm pretty sure there isn't a template-based solution so please ask at the vB.org/vB.com duo.

Ok, I just did it as a profile field. It will be the easiest way to manage it I suppose...

So what do you do to require the birthdays?
