users that can't access the forum with a age lock restriction, can jump the restriction by "latest topic posted" on the home of the forum, can join to the this topic and post on it

anyone know a one solution for this bug?

Got this installed on 3.5.4 and it seesm to have deleted every single DOB entry and once ive edited it it deletes it again if they edit their profile.

All this does on 3.6.x is crash the database with the same errors that were reported 2 years ago. If you can't make it work in two years time, I'll pass.

funny this version is for 3.5 not 3.6.x so maybe you should try the correct vesion before you start blaming the code if thats how it is on vb.org maybe i shouldnt have bothered or maybe u should do it yourself next time

in responce all qrys about the direct link on index should also check 3.6.x package

all other bugs (that were reported) have been fixed in 3.6.x package

works great for me, thanks alot, been using it for over a year now, never a problem and just what I wanted

Hello, in principle this hack looks great but as an almost complete newbie to vbulletin I'm having a few probs

I have installed the hack and it appears to be switched on, and in manage plugins I can see the items related to agelock...however the forum still allows me to register a user who is 13 years old for example...

In what part of the code do i set the age restriction to be a minimum of 17 ?

Sorry is this is completely obvious, I've only had vbulletin a few weeks and its all still much of a mystery to me.

Thanks

Age lock works on a forum by forum basis, by doing this it allows you to set a different age for each forum,

To set the age you simply login to the admincp goto the forum manager and select the forum you wish to age lock, then scroll to the bottom and specify the age and if they have too be older or younger.

on a side note i'd recommend you install the latest version of vb and install the latest version of age lock (located here) dont install this version on vb3.6.x

if you need any futhur help please feel free to contact me directly via PM or email.
