Board Optimization - Registration Optimization | vBsocial.com |

Registration is a known tedious process, and I believe vBulletin makes it very hectic for the average guest to register at your forum.

I believe all ADDITIONAL INFORMATION should not be there including forum rules. These things, members can fill out later and also read the rules later. After all, the rules are very similar from forum to forum and no members read them anyways.

If you have a referral system, this modification isn't for you. I think though, this will convert you more members than a referral system does anyways.

Go to admincp > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Register Templates > register and replace everything with the contents of the attached file.

Registration should be quick and easy! Good luck everyone

As far as I know this works on ALL VERSIONS OF 4.X and possibly earlier versions. I have been upgrading my vBulletin live sites with this modification and registration still works. I believe it also increases registrations tremendously. I've been getting anywhere between 30-60 registers a day.

Also it does include facebook connect and image verifcation ( even though the spam bots have beaten these)

I'm still working on the rebuild of my website and decided to add a (test dummy) regular member account (non admin) for testing purposes, but when I go to register as a new member is says:

The following errors occurred during your registration

You have entered an invalid birthday.

There is NO field for adding a birthdate for me to put it in.

I've tried to find that requirement option to turn it off in the admin panel (Settings/Options) but can't find it anywhere.

How do I either add the birthday requirement field to the registration form OR how do I turn that requirement off?

I really want this to be a part of my rebuild of my website, so hope someone is able to help me get this sorted out.

Thanks in advance for all/any help.

AdminCP > Settings > User Profile Options

Require Date of Birth - set to No

Thank you so much for that, Gemma. :up: It was driving me nuts trying to find that option.

BTW, does anyone know if you can actually have the DOB requirement in the shorter registration? Or is that the whole idea of a shorter registration (to eliminate things like that)?

Find:

{vb:raw human_verify} 			 		
</div>

Below that add:

<vb:if condition="$show['customfields_profile']">
            <h3 class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase additional_required_information_profile}</h3>
            <div class="section">
                <vb:if condition="$show['birthday']">{vb:raw birthdayfields}</vb:if>
            </div>
        </vb:if>

OMG, Thank you Gemma. :up: :up: You're a champion!

You're definitely going to get a mention when I do the writeup of all the mods etc, I used to complete my site rebuild (once it's completed) and I'll be publishing it on my site for all to see.
