In the registration setting you can limit registration to age 13 and up, but (for a non-programmer but follows direction well) how and where would I raise that limit to say...18? I figure this is a fairly simple and straight forward mod.

I am looking in the ubb_registration.cgi file at the thinking that in
Code
code:
the 13 would be changed to 18. Is that on the right track?

If so, what else?


This is for a gun related site and we feel that since the legal age for firearms starts at age 18 we need to start there.

Thank you in advance,

-13 to -18 will work. partly. All you need to do is change the wording if that doesn't already control the wording of the coppa click.

Confirmation: That is the correct number to modify.

Anyone else that does this will also need to modify your vars_wordlets.cgi file in about 5 places and your public_age_check.pl file to remove the links to the coppa website and .pdf file.
