Looks promising. Will try this out sometime. Tagged for now.

Does this allow both the normal rules and the rules from this hack to be listed a the time of registration?

Currently, the hack gives you a choice of whether to display the normal rules or the rules of this hack. You have to choose one. However, if you think it's necessary to be able to display both, this might be implemented in a future release.

It would be something I'd consider. I will probably have a play around with this when I get some time this next week and see if I would like it or not.

I'm thinking mainly from the context of the regular rules being sufficient, but with some unique rules for the forum that would be nice to have displayed similarly.

Will see how it works first though

I solved this by linking to the vbRules page from the default registration rules -->

Having only recently upgraded to 3.7.6 from 3.6.x, it would seem there is something different in how the navbar is coded

I have installed the vbRules hack which has added a link in my navbar to the new rules page. I would like to delete this entry and instead stick it on my secondary navbar to make things a bit less crowded. When I go to edit the navbar template however, I can't figure out where to make the changes - before I could just look for "rules.php" and narrow down the place to edit, but so far am stumped... any suggestions?
