The Rules
Deprecated:
Link to Mod
Almost every forum has some form of their rules and the usual practice is to post them in the forum's announcements board. This is problematic because new members are generally unfamiliar with the forum's organization and may overlook reading the rules post.
The Rules solves this problem by adding a "Rules" tab to SMF's top menu, visible from every page on the site. Not only does this make the rules easy to access, but the tab serves as a constant reminder that the site has rules that members are expected to obey. Additionally, the rules are presented in an integrated fashion rather than having been posted by some specific person. This depersonalizes the presentation of the rules so that they appear to come from the forum manangement team rather than from any specific individual.
Features
* Adds a new "Rules" tab to SMF's top menu. Accessing this tab displays your forum's rules.
* Enter your rules contents into the configuration settings of The Rules using plain text plus BBCodes.
* Optionally displays the agreement.txt file on a separate page, when feature is enabled.
* Optionally displays an additional page which you may customize for anything you want, when feature is enabled.
* The titles of all three pages are configurable by the administrator.
* The "Rules" tab label can be customized to suit your preferences or to aid internationalization.Full configuration instructions are provided in the included readme.txt file.

wainting to see if deprecated can manage to squeeze this mod in via a manual edit with all the other mods ive got but if he can then bonus as this is a very proffessional looking modification that does add real functionality and does away with posts about site rules to create a cleaner more accessable forum rules presentation

I'm coming up on 11 hours straight programming today, so I don't think that's going to happen. :) I've just posted your files for the other mod. Get that working before you tackle another one. You've finally driven me to drink! :) Now if I can just figure out how to get the cork out of my dinner... ;)
