fulfill law requirements for Adult Content.

Details

1.0.1 Minimum Age is now a Setting (ACP / vBulletion Options / vBulletin Options / User registration Options)
Added an Option in Forum Manager to specify Minimum Age for each Forum
1.0.2 Fixed a slight mistake in the XML which caused an error in Forum Manager
1.0.3 Added a Plugin that was missing in the XML so the Option in Forum Manager now does show up

Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall whan you don't use it any longer!

Looks like and interesting Mod, but does it work with ver. 3.5.3 or is this mod already included

Seems like I'm still having a problem. If I say my birthday is Jan 1st, 1988 which means that person is 18. It brings up a message saying You must be 18 to register ??

Ok i been looking around.. have u tried to go into your admincp > search phrases > type: registration... then editing the file deny_under_13_registration

Just installed this hack and it works really well except it won't display any of my age restricted forums to non-registered users. I know this is by design, but I don't actually want to stop users under 18 seeing content, I just don't want them being able to post or reply to threads in certain forums (financial products). Is this possible?

I've noticed that you have to be 18 years old plus the amount of days left in the month. (ie you have to wait until the next month before you can join.)

If you edit register.php and change 13 to 18 you can get a similar result with the coppa system ... however this will allow a 17 year old who will be 18 by the end of the month. (If your birthday is at the end of the month you will still be allowed to join at the start of the month)

Is there a way you can set a maximum age for this hack? I want to do a Teen Forum for my nieces and nephews and I am looking for a hack that will set the age under 18.

This hack doesn't denied a user if he/she under 18.
If
at the first step, he will have to fill in his birthday correctly, example 1-1-1977, then it will by pass the step 1 for him. But then the step 2 if he try to edit his birthyear example he edit from 1977 to 1991, he still can be able to finish the registration process.
Is there any way that it will decline to finish the registration process if he edit that birthyear?
Well, I am just looking for a plugin to work with this. Because right now I have to edit the register.php from number 13 to number 18.
Thanks!

This hack is great!!!!!

I have one issue though and I'm hoping someone can solve it, this will make this hack perfect!!

If I have a user(Bob) who is restricted from forum X. All that Bob needs to do is look up another member who browses forum X regularly. If Bob does a search on that particlar user for his most recent posts from forum X and clicks one of those posts then Bob goes right into the restricted forum X. It's just like a back door

This totally blows the whole security out of the water. Is there anything that can be done??
