18 and over ONLY

[ORP]

I'm running vb 3.54 soon 3.6. I'm interested in a hack so that a new user has to enter a birthday which makes them at least 18 years at time of signup. I had one that worked for 3.09, but it does not work with the latest release of vb.

I know theres a age hack, this hack prevents what ever age you set to enter the forums, not sure about registering though

[ORP]

You have my curiosity up. How could it work then if not figureing out the age when registering?

Thanks for the reply!

wouldnt really work IMO, they could just press back and change their date of birth to show theyre 18

But, at least they are 'saying' they are 18. That is all I'm after. I understand the work arounds. Now I police it manually and that's no fun.

ORP, which modification are you using on 3.0.9? Is it the one where the COPPA System is changed to 18 instead of 13 and deny all registrations under 18 set that way? If so, it should be a nice easy port.

Yes, that is the one. I asked about having it ported for 3.5 but never thought it was done. I don't know how ....but willing to learn if you want to tell me ....

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that it could have been one of mine, so I'll rumble it up for you later. I'll just do a basic one though as I've never got all the bells and whistles of it to work in 3.5 and upwards

Awesome! Thanks peterska2!!!!!!!

Please post a link here and I'll be glad to try it out and report back. Basic is fine. Sure better than manually doing it.

edit ....I should have said thanks Kerry-Anne. I didn't notice your name until just now.
