I think that did it thanks to you, you must have had this similar problem? Was it a bug in the uninstall file? He should have updated that file. Because of it my Database crashed and gave my webhosts hell...lol (not really in a laughing matter though).

Thank you very much though

Hi no problem at all.

Didn't uninstall the hack till now but i will review the uninstall script

Update: yes it IS a bug in uninstall Script. If the First User returned from the statement down there has already agreed rules, then it won't work:

$xx = $DB_site->query_first("select * from " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "user");
if ($xx[agreedrule]=='')
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "user DROP agreedrule");

It should be a check for all columns in the table and a search vor "agreedrule" column. Sorry i am not familiar with mysql syntax for this

We have been up for a while and need to change our user agreement for existing users. We need all existing users who log in to re-read and agree to the new rules of the site before they can continue to do anything. Can this hack be used for this?

This hack isn't designed for "Forum Rules" it's for rules specific to some of your Forums.

But use search u will find something u could use

Topics are in ABC Order This forum is for Hosted LINKS only and also, it can be for other services similar to this. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS The Subject of the post MUST contain only 1 (one) subject.

This is how the rules show up.
I want it to look like this though from the screen shots:
