Force Current Members To Fill Out Required Profile Field · **Released**: 09-09-2004

So you add a new required profile field, and members who join afterwards are forced to fill out the field, but you want your current members to fill out that field too. Well unless your current members go edit their profile, the new field sits and waits for them to take action. This mini hack will force your current members to fill out the field by prompting them for action before allowing them to return to normal site use. Here are some further details:

Related vB 2.2.x from roxics in this thread.
Here based off the vB 2.3.x hack by Locutus2999.
This is for vB 3.0.7 though rather similar indeed.
Add one phrase, edit one file, set profile field.
Support only if/as time available, no guarantees.

Anyone have any idea if this will work with 3.5.4 ???

I really need a hack like this.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
