some of my users can't post anymore as they are using Opera mini and they are unable to accept the rules.

Hi,

Has this issue been resolved?

My customers using opera have to flip to IE (/shudder) to accept the rules, on opera the button is just greyed out.

Thanks

Hi Valter,

for some reason we are experiencing a weired behaviour, may be a bug.

Users who have already accepted the rules reported back, they couldn´t send PMs. All they see is the rules pages with the timed counter. Even when they accept the rules again, with the next PM they run into a loop which brings them back to the rules page over and over again.
It happens when sending a PM from the user menue inside a post, replying to a PM etc. It doesn´t, when a user is sending a PM from inside his own profile.
(Anyone else experiencing that?)

Settings were set, that PMs can only be send by users who accepted the rules before. I disabled that now temporarly.

Could you be so kind to have a look inside that issue and come up with a fix for that?

What does it mean when a member who logs on to my forum several times a day yet have not accepted forum rules and they have to accept them to enter any forums or threads?

Maybe a bot?

[Videx]

Could be. We've seen a lot of those. Kinda scary that they can get past my clever Q&A but can't figure out how to accept the rules.

AFR uses a javascript function that bots tend to have problems with.

Has this Mod got still a problem with hackers being able to inject into lockout admins as this happened to me again today, and looking for what did it, but at this stage unable to find out why. Though only been looking for the past hour. I thought I would post this in case others strike the same problem as I have. I had to use tools.php to allow me access to my admincp which I had in fact changed the name of, and in the config.php file as well.

There are no "known" current issues with this modification, yes previously however it was patched. If however you do determine this was the cause and have proof simply report the modification post and include the information at hand so we can review otherwise it could be another method being used on your site perhaps?

How can i change it from saying "Forum Rules" to Code Of Conduct?
