HI,

How could I restrict the 'Unknown' field from users? I want to force users to choose Male or Female option.

Regards,

Ed

If they have choosed they can't go back to the unknown field.

Hi,

If they have choosed they can't go back to the unknown field.

Sorry, I did not understand. Does it mean the user only can choose the gender option once when subscribing? The user can't change the gender option later?

I would like to remove the 'none' (or unknown) option from the gender form (keeping only male and female), so I've changed my phpbb subscribe page code and removed the 'none' option from the form. Unfortunately it did not work. Now many users are experiencing problems...

Thanks for your attention,
(nice picture!)

Nope.. Beeveer meant, that when user once selects Male or Female, he can't go back to Unspecified option anymore. But he still can make a change form Man to Woman and vice versa. If someone undergoes some plastic surgery or what

EDIT: I was thinking about it and this should be it. Backup all files before editing!!!
This modification will NOT remove the Non specified option, but user will be forced to choose the gender. Gender field is now marked with *, so he must specify his gender. Once he specify it, he will not be able to move back to Not specified, because this field is disabled from the first time.
