When Can View Forum for Unregistered / Not Logged In is set to 'No' they cannot read the rules they are linked to via the forum_rules_description cus they get a no permission error :dead:

[akanevsky]

Sorry, but that's how vbulletin is. When the permission is off, you cannot access ANY pages.

[Parture]

Various links on the navbar take me to the top of the vBRules page. http://biblocality.com/forums/rules.php

But each of those links pertains to a different section on the vBRules page.

Do you know what the code is I can use make the page go to these specific sections on the page: sections I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII?

This would be an awesome feature to add to vBRules.

Thanks.

UPDATE: I have just learned how to use the <a name="...">text</a>. That was easy.

Will this add the rules to the TOS area when a user registers for the forums?

[akanevsky]

Yes, it does add a link there.

Thank you Psionic Vision

This is just what I have been looking for

Install

[Nathan2006]

Just one question.

If I copy all my text from the thread I typed all the rules into and paste it into the rules box it ends up everywhere in blocks of text and the need of adding loads of <br> tags

Is there an editor or something that will fill in the <br> tags for me at all?

I have had a look on Google but no luck

Thank you for any help
