You can be stubborn and say nothing works, but that is not true.

There are hundreds of people that fixed this spam issue. Come on, you are smarter than that. :)

Can you please make some changes to let the user be redirected to a third party site, if I enter the full URL of a third party site, they just receive an error.

:rolleyes: by "nothing else is", I meant nothing else I've done - so far. You should've known that ;)

Then what about real users that don't want the time zone you limit them too?

This is a new members nightmare. This is worse than making them do capture and recapture.

How does a person with an international forum continue to grow?

I applaud your efforts, but this is just silly. There are better solutions by several people that are transparent to the new member and actually work without creating more work for the new member or limiting them.

This fills in the niche of some forums - some forums don't need any members apart from their "area", and this is just something that helps with spam on those forums. This modification is certainly not for everyone, and is not made out to be.

Does this work with 3.7x?

I have used it on 3.6x and it works perfectly!

<font color="Blue">Installed</font> but I created an "Registration Error" page that directs them to email admin if they are having problems. This should let someone from that timezone send me a message and I can let them register.

Problem: The mod does not send them to the Error Page that I created. I can open the page by pasting the link from the settings directly into a browser, so I know the link and page works. I DO NOT have the Error page in the forum folder but in the root of the website - is this the problem or why wont it open the Error page that setup?

v3.7.3

Make sure you enter the URL as an absolute link (full link with "http://").

That is exactly how it is entered... the full url.
When i test it, it sends me to the standard error message that you created.

Small bug found, in the XML file, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['prevent_tz_reg_redirurl'];

Replace With:

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['prevent_tz_reg_redirect'];

Fixed in next release.
