Force Current Members To Fill Out Required Profile Field

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 mod 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:

• Install as a vB 3.5.0 product.
• Thanks to wolfyman for this post.
• Thanks to KirbyDE for this post.
• Credit is given to Revan from this post.
• Credit is given to Locutus2999 from this thread.
• Related vB 2.2.x from roxics in this thread.
• Here based off the vB 2.3.x hack by Locutus2999.
• Cost to install this mod is an additional query.
• Support only if/as time available, no guarantees.
• Should you install, say thanks by clicking install.

Remember to set 'Field Required' to 'Yes' and 'Field Editable by User' to 'Yes' for mod to kick in (see profile how-to: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/profile).

I cant seem to get the required field for old users to work either

**** To get this to work with the Date of birth Field ****

First I made it mandatory for members to fill out their age. Then I simply added a new profile field that asked their age range, I added several and made them also mandatory. Then when this Plugin makes then edit the custom field they are now in their profile and they have to edit their date of birth also.

Sorry if this may have been posted, saw it asked several times and may have missed this solution.
