Sounds like a good way to really upset members. "Sorry, your reply has been trashed because you forgot to check the box. Try again.".

Please add rules for social groups.

Actually, if you choose "Automatically add "Forum Rules" to Navbar" then it already shows while browsing Social Groups.

Upset? Why? After hit [Send Message] button, rulles appears, user need to accept them, then reply will be sent. Otherweise, he does not accept section/forum rules, so the message will be not sent.

Why? Because some (lot of them) users again and again does not accepting rules in one special forum section. I don't ban them, but if i show them that rules every time when they want to post, i think, lot of them says "Hey, i forgot this" and maybe they edit their post.

I mean 'rules per social group'. This feature was planned by Cyb, before this modification was taken over by Valter.

They need to accept this product's rules before posting or viewing forums, depending on your settings in product options.

Would it be possible to not having to accept the rules separately? I feel the point of adding the rules to the registration is somewhat useless if users must accept it one more time straight after registration.

desperately need this mod to convert from "forum rules" to "site rules".
new people are flooding blogs with things that should go into the forum.

Freakin' sweet!

Thanks!

Having an interesting issue, viewing the rules as a guest on IE doesn't actually show the rules, just the accept button. Anyone else?

How can we set it for the count down when they actually register for the first time? That would be awesome! Thanks
