Is it possible to force new member to have to make a post before they can use the rest of the site ?

There was a mod for doing that you needed set post count b4 you could enter to forums so the out come was you had to post in the introductions form first then you got board access.

Mod means it was for 3.0.x not for 3.1.x? I'm looking for an extension for 3.1.x to force users to post in the introductions form first before they can access the whole forum.

Just as i said there is a MOD that will need porting. (i do know the diff from a mod and extention)

That extension is valid for "phpbb/phpbb": ">=3.1.4,<3.2.*@dev" so why does it not work?

[jan_2017]
