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.

seems doesnt work with Danny.VBT Profile Commenting System

I've just installed and everything seems to be working fine just one small problem the user profile is not displaying that what rules a user has agreed to. I've double checked that I edited the template properly yet its still not working. Any ideas?

For example: http://www.texasmagicleague.com/forums/member.php?u=14

[argash]

upon further examination it doesnt look like anything is stored in the $agreedrules variable thus the if statement is failing

[kurtbarker]

hey mate, I stoped using this hack when my questions weren't answered... found is really hard to distinguish what I had to 'check' to implement a rule, now using another on this site...

but in regards to your question, did you provide a link? coz as far as i've read, without the link field fill in, it won't show you the agreed to rules

Ok I got that part working. Now I would like it to were when I click on a rules set that a user has agreed to that It display that ruleset. How can I find the URL for that?

Thanks

Another great hack UAE great work

Just a small bug. It is possible to post in a forum without applying to it's rules. Simply going directly to a topic, and logging in afterwards.
