This will limit the forum breaches that occur often due to unawareness of the rules and agreement. 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.

Almost forgot. I am on MySQL 5 and 3.6.4. Basically, I uninstalled, reinstalled and got the above error.

[s0lidgr0und]

Any thoughts?

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

INSERT INTO cron (weekday, day, hour, minute, filename, loglevel, title )
VALUES (-1, -1, 0, 'a:1:{i:0;i:-1;}', './includes/cron/cron_ruleshack.php', 1,
'Rules and User Agreement Hack Reset');

I am using vB 3.6.1

I tried installing the original version attached with this thread and it gave me a itle filed eror. So i downloaded the patched 1 with variable name.

When i import product. nothing happens...the bar remains as such and nothing seems to work.

Please provide me with a working version for 3.6.1.

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

Nobody has an answer to this......please!!
