Any fixes for this incorrect dates issue yet??

also a fix to make the rules link appear in the nav?

This looks great, I guess I should wait for any answers to the 4.2 questions.

Hi,

I've just installed it.. but I want it to show before the registration form. So, user must click the agree button first before decided to become a member. Just like on vBulletin version 3.

Thanks...

I've just been informed by my co-admin that a lot of new users are showing as having accepted the rules on 12-31-1969. But not all. His words:

I just noticed that some of our new members are accepting rules on 12/31/1969 (attached). At least one legit user did accept rules on the current date-he posted about a lost dog.

I wonder if there's a hack going around for this mod?

It gives you a handy link to do that. Look at the bottom of the settings page "Some useful links to product stuff". I think it's under "Manage Rules".
