Hi. Will you please consider a feature that will allow us to display multiple sets of rules at registration time (one accept button for all)?

NVM: Fixed!

Hello... I am noticing an issue:

when the user accepts the rules, it is being redirected to accept the rule one more time... one more time... on loop...

The rules never get accepted.

Could you please help?

The user's cookies are being blocked. Probably an overzealous antivirus app.

Hi... I think this is not the reason. I have been notified by a guest about this less than 2 hours after the activation of the plugin.

I have then tried myself with different browsers and different accounts and the issue is persisting.... any idea?


Some more informations that may help to understand what is happening:

• if I go to the profile of one of these users with the admin account I can read that the rules have been accepted "Rules accepted: 06-24-2010, 10:53 PM"
• But it's not true. If the users go back and try to start a thread, they are redirected to the Forum Rules
• Even if I change the timer to 0, the loop persists

P.s. in other forums using the same application it works

how do i add rules to just one specific forum??

Is it an error? There is written that this mod is supported, but I think it's not.
