I found out how, all they have to do is go to the profile of the last poster in the forum with the age mod and select "View posts by this user", and they can see them all.

Btw, wouldn't it be easier to hook the system up to usergroups, or a cronjob?

Usergroups:
User W who is X age is placed into sub-usergroup Y which gives access to Z.

Cronjob:
Each night at W user X who is Y years old is given access to forum Z.

Would be fullproof against the bug above.

[stuie_b]

using usergroups wouldn't be very practical since you would need to have a diff usergroup for each age.

For example if i had a forum that had three diff age required forums one for 15 one for 14 and one for 18 i would have to create three usergroups for each, then mod the promotions function to move each user up to the diff groups.

Using a Cron job would add an extra load onto your server which is not my aim, The current version uses vbulletins form cache data to do it's checking and never involves any extra mysql or external services to be run

i will look into this problem and get back to you.

thanks

Removing that also removes that from registration. then when someone tries to register they cant because it requires age.

I realized this to so i will proabbly make a <if> condition for registered users. not to see it .

I've added both this hack and the other age one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...&highlight=age

This means that underage members don't even get to see the forum if it is restricted.

Best of both worlds
