Minimum Age For Registration
Mod Version: 1.1, by peterska2

This modification allows you to set a minimum age for registration on your site.

It uses the vBulletin COPPA Cookie system, if you have it enabled, to stop people from clicking back in their browser to change the date of birth that they have entered.

The age is set via a setting in the vBOptions > User Registration Options.

Important:

• This is a code modification, with the addition of a product to import the setting needed for this modification to work. Therefore, the code modification part will need to be carried out on each upgrade of vBulletin.
• In order for this modification to work, the COPPA setting on your site must be set to deny registrations for users aged under thirteen years. The age that they will be denied at however is set by yourself in the user registration options.

This modification is for 3.6.x only. It is tested on 3.6.0 and 3.6.2 and should work on any later versions in the 3.6.x series. It will not work on anything earlier than 3.6.0, and may not work on later series.

Reports have been made that this does not work on 3.6.3 and 3.6.4 and so I expect that it will not work on anything later than 3.6.2

I will be looking into this when I get chance, but there may not be a fix for it, so please do not try this on 3.6.3 or later.
