This shall automate the manual procedures that are followed by users to read the ?rules and agreement? and will enforce to some extent the users to be aware of rules in place.

Hi,

my forum (3.5.1.) is on a domain (eg. www.forum.de), which is a subdirectory on another domain (eg.www.site.de/vbulletin).

If I accept a rule, i would be redirected to www.site.de/newthread.php..., but the right path must be www.forum.de/newthread.php...

Where is the error?

[Robert Basil]

Great hack! But...

I can't find a setting to have this displayed for all forums when posting a new thread or reply. I don't want to have to make a new rule set for each individual forum (we don't have any sub forums). I tried to set it for the main category but of course this did not work.

Any suggestions?

[redlabour]

How can i choose to set "All Forums" ??

[redlabour]

Nobody ?

[klaush]

Looking for that since month for our sales-sections in our forum!

Thanks...

Installed under 3.5.2.!:-)
