Hi Valter.
Is there any way to make this mod work for users using Opera Mini?
some of my users can't post anymore as they are using Opera mini and they are unable to accept the rules.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

I found that the time delay on the accept button wasn't working for some mobile browsers so had to take the time delay down to '0' to allow the button to show and for people to accept them

[CvP]

then there should be a no script version of the "accept" button even if it is with loss of delay functionality.
also:

Any plan to include "before posting blog" and "before posting article" option?

Hi Valter, how can we link to specific rules?
For example, I have ToS, Privacy Statement, Guidelines, Trade Center Rules, Infraction Rules.
I can not link them to directly from anywhere

I'd like to keep it separated by category, but I guess I'll put all the rules in one massive category if I have to.

I would like to have it like that too.

Where X is rules ID.

:thumbs up:

I wish it supported some kind of SEF urls.
www.example.com/go/rules
www.example.com/go/ToS
www.example.com/go/privacy

^^ this'd rock. I'm currently using htaccess to achieve this.

Hi Valter.
Is it possible to manual-sort the rulesets? The only current way I see is to edit and switch ruleset contents.

also, I want to remove all rules assignment from "cms comment" forum as it people can't post comment in cms unless they have accepted rules and there is no msg telling them to.

When I enable Automatically add "Force User To Accept Forum Rules" to member profiles it makes it so that EVERYONE can view this in the profile, even regular members. How can I fix this?

Is there option to force user to accept rules before every reply in defined forum? I mean, user sent reply in thread/forum, but he need to check and accept defined rules. After accept, reply will be sent in topic. Otherwise reply will be not sent.
