I have some joker members who enter their birth year by entering 0000 or some funny number :disappointed:

If you open 'register.php' in your install directory './' you can change the regex to what you want to use! I would just use 19?? as there should not be anyone 5 years old trying to register on any forum!

Here is how to do this....

Open register.php

FIND THIS....

	if ($month == 0 OR !preg_match('#^\d{4}$#', $year))
	{
		eval(print_standard_error('select_valid_month_and_year'));
	}

REPLACE WITH...

	if ( $month == 0 OR ! preg_match ( "!^(19[0-9]{2}|200[0-5]{1})$!", $year ) )
	{
		eval ( print_standard_error ( 'select_valid_month_and_year' ) );
	}
