Whenever you see smilies it means an "unknown error" has occurred. First thing I would suspect is your custom style. Second would be another mod. You're going to have to try disabling them both.

ok, ty for ur time! I want it but not worth breaking it all down to find the cause lol. I'm just glad I know Im not going crazy for not seeing the edit button lol

I recently added a new rule set and attempted to apply it to a certain section but when testing the rule acceptance I was able to enter the section without accepting the rules. This is with my demo test user account, not the admin account.

I use vB4.2 with standard style. And i think it's quite impossible for screening which mod is responsible for this error.

Problem still not fixed nor addressed, although brought up by a few people.

I just noticed this on my forum, as well. It's the first time I've seen this with a new member.

I'll look into it when I find some time. Please be patient.

Thanks for your efforts! I hadn't heard much about this again so I asked my coadmin and he says these people aren't posting, so maybe it's not a pressing issue.

It's still happening. However, it seems that only registrants accepting the rules on current date are posting. Perhaps those showing rule acceptance in "1969" aren't being granted posting privileges?

Is it working with Vb Facebook APP? Causing IM getting error when trying to reply a thread in face APP.:

An unknown error occurred! (redirect_vsafrules_accept_post)

I'm getting reports by a lot of users that the rules aren't showing up they get empty rules.
While I see them...
What is going on?
