Registration Optimization | vBsocial.com |
 

Registration is a known tedious process, and I believe vBulletin makes it very hectic for the average guest to register at your forum.

I believe all ADDITIONAL INFORMATION should not be there including forum rules. These things, members can fill out later and also read the rules later. After all, the rules are very similar from forum to forum and no members read them anyways.

If you have a referral system, this modification isn't for you. I think though, this will convert you more members than a referral system does anyways.

Go to admincp > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Register Templates > register and replace everything with the contents of the attached file.

Registration should be quick and easy! Good luck everyone


As far as I know this works on ALL VERSIONS OF 4.X and possibly earlier versions. I have been upgrading my vBulletin live sites with this modification and registration still works. I believe it also increases registrations tremendously. I've been getting anywhere between 30-60 registers a day.

Also it does include facebook connect and image verifcation ( even though the spam bots have beaten these)

Much better thank you

nice :)

Great change, installing :)

Nice job, thanks

AMAZING!

So far.. ;-)

Glad it works for everyone.

This is great and something I am looking for but I have 2 questions.

1. Can the referrer field be added back in?

2. Can the birthdate be added to this page to just make registration a 1 step, 1 page process?

Only compare the old an the new template :)

Then you can easily add the functions you want to have.

The second thing I don't know how to integrate because I'm not using this method.

this is smart but if i remove the time and the "receive from.." parts then, it sets the time to GMT for the new users (which is not my time ) and "receive from.." both options are unchecked.

It is registration template and not register template :P
Thanks.

i need a fever i want to allow to see user's can view rules
what code i need to add more into this ?

I made this myself using if conditions

totally agree

good work

not works for me am using (vBulletin 4.0.8 Patch Level 2)
here's the screen shot

Its because you have Custom profile fields. Go ahead and delete those in admincp

Looks good, has anyone found that using this has helped increase registrations?

can u please reply to my post ?

how can i remove these fields but yet the settings wont be change to the default ?

Thanks.

Awesome but how can I put in a link to my rules?

Very Nice!

This was a badly needed mod in my book... Thanks!

As far as the RULES link, I suggest adding a link to the rules page, to the word RULES in the existing text, During testing, I get this error
I will try and edit the need for the user input their birthday an see what happens.

No Joy, even disabling Coppa didn't help, digging deeper.

Well its looks like you have the correct code in your shorter version, Probably an issue on my end.
Any suggestions on tracing it down?
I would really love to get this mod to work.

what happens for the two email options: with this, will new members automatically receive emails from admins and other members?

Can this mode be used combined with email verification code ? Thanks!

Yeah, honestly, i hate sites that make me fill out 100 fields to register. Most of the time i avoid registering just for that reason

this mod work in 4.0.3??
because it like me... but i don't know if it work fine or not.... XD

excuse me for my english :P

thanx a lot

Great mod but can we get the birth date on the same page as the options to speed it all up and make it a 1 page process?

I dont think this was good everyone is breaking the rulesnow! How do I find the original file?

Is it the register.php file for the original I want to revert? Thanx

fast and clean...like someone said..thats more like it...thanks

Has anyone? Otherwise I'll take the silence as no.

I think this can only help increase the registration of spam bots, since google recaptcha is cracked and useless, and this mod eliminates any usage of custom profile fields, they just don't display, or show up anywhere, so you are open for spam.. I would like if they were included, in this "optimized registration"..

Will this code work on vb 4.1.1 ................... ????

1. does it work on 4.1.2?

2. can we have screenshots to see what it looks like now compared to what it used to look like?
