Miscellaneous Hacks - Age based premissions for registering and viewing forums

This is based on this 3.5 plug-in. Although it uses the same hook locations and similar phrases, I ended up recoding it so none of the original code is used. To install simply download and install the XML file via the Plugin & Product manager. You can then alter the registration requirements via the vBulletin Settings option and the minimum age to view a specific forum by editing it using the forum manager - again it should appear near the bottom.

New features:

• Updated for vBulletin 3.6.4 (should work on 3.6.x)
• More accurate (the previous only checked month and year).

Original features:

• Specify minimum age required to register.
• Limit access to forums based on age.

Disclaimer:
Because users can lie about their age, this many not fulfil the legal requirements for adult content. I accept no responsibility for how this is used.

You're free to do what you like with this code, although credit is appreciated, it's not required.

This works with VB 3.7.1 however once you set an age for the forums in the forum manager you will notice the fourm may have dissapeared regardless of your age or permissions.

You will need to do these things to correct the issue if it happens:

1: In the maintanence section click update counters, and then update usernames

2: in the maintanence section click update counters, and then fix broken user profiles

It works fine for me after I did both of those things, not sure exactly which one did it but I think it as fix broken user profiles.

Hope this helps anyone having problems

*clicks install*
