This shall automate the manual procedures that are followed by users to read the ?rules and agreement? and will enforce to some extent the users to be aware of rules in place.

I finally made a modification to original plugin, changing repeat for repeated everywhere it appears.
PLEASE, backup before using this. It's working for me, but it doesn't means that it would work for everybody.

Hey Kirminal, never saw you around

Because psico was in charge to support the forum; but now I assumed all technical task... and the first one is moving a hardly hacked 3.010 to 3.61. :nervous:

So, thanks for noticing and sorry for my english.

anyone get the template "memberinfo" too work?

[Silver_Seagull]

I'm running 3.5.4 and this hack isn't applying the rules to the usergroups I select. It is applying them to everyone, regardless of usergroups selected.

It is also randomly only applying the rule display to only Replies, or only New Threads....despite having First Time Posting a Thread in this Forum, New Thread Posting and New Reply Posting checked.

Is this broken?

[sduckie2k5]

^^^ Same here, chose all usergroups except mods and admin and it still applies to them as well.

I am getting this error message after accepting the rules:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /index.html.

[jadkar]

I installed vBSEO after this hack has been running for about a year and now it's dead. Does anyone have any expirence using this with vBSEO??

My problem is that as soon as a user agrees to the rules and clicks submit it bounces them back to the main forum index page.

This hack was instrumental on my site if this can't work does anyone know of a similar one??

Please help

I did this on a fresh install of the modifciation on 3.6 and worked fine. I can not assume the same for previous installs, so please test on your test board first.

Thanks for that.

Installed on a decently modified 3.6.2 and seems to work perfectly.
