Delay the "AGREE" Button

[bira]

What about adding an error message if the button is clicked before the alloted time, stating "If you're clicking that fast, you haven't read the terms!" ?

would someone release this, so that I could ckick the button that says I have installed it?

question, where do you add this:

<script>
secs = 10; // Number of secs to delay
wait = secs * 1000;
document.forms.register.Submit.disabled =true;
for(i=1;i<=(wait/1000);i++) {
	window.setTimeout("doUpdate(" + i + ")", i * 1000);
}
window.setTimeout("Timer()", wait);

function doUpdate(num) {
	if(num == (wait/1000)) {
		document.forms.register.Submit.value = "Agree";
	} else {
		wut = (wait/1000)-num;
		document.forms.register.Submit.value = "Agree (" + wut + ")";
	}
}

function Timer() {
	document.forms.register.Submit.disabled =false;
}
</script>

[edit]

Is there anything like this for vBulletin 4? I used this about 8 years ago in 3 and I liked it.

No one is going to read the rules anyway, timer or not.

Maybe but if they're forced to sit their for 30 seconds or so before they can click "I agree", and the rules are bulleted, they might just spend some time looking. Whats more the delay makes it even harder for anyone to claim "I just clicked okay and didn't read the rules" because they had to pause and wait. It's a pity this mod appears to have been forgotten about.

Looking at this again, since the VB4 rules are displayed on the same page as other registration information, putting in a 30 second delay isn't very useful because it will take someone 30 seconds to fill in their username, password, email, and any other info.

On VB3 the rules were on their own page, there was nothing else to do but read them.
