This board is the new home for david63's extensions.
All of the extensions hosted here will need to be treated as a new install as there is no migration from the original ones to these, and furthermore, no support will be given to migrating to any of these extensions from previous versions. Due to the selfishness of certain board members it has become necessary to apply a limit of how many downloads each member can make before making a donation. Once a donation has been made then you will have unlimited downloads.

I just upgraded to this news version deleted the old version that you no longer support and still got the error message when I clicked on registration age under user utilities
I didn't understand the error either, but I did figure out that it was the AI labs extension that was causing it. So, I disabled that, and it resolved the error.
Would it be possible to change this from a text field to a dropdown for the date of birth?
I have noticed that users are able to enter numbers that are in an invalid format for the date of birth, and so if I copy the registration date of birth to a user's date of birth, the value isn't the same.
It will display a detailed message if there is an error or not display any message. For example it will give an error message saying that the minimum age is, say, 18 which would then inform whoever is trying to register what to change their date of birth to or it displays nothing leaving them to keep guessing
I just enabled copy to birthday setting doesn't that still copy to database?
Yes but that will copy the dob to the "user_birthday" field in the "users" table which the user can, vis the UCP, change any time they wish.
The reason is twofold - firstly depending on your country's privacy laws storing the dob without permission may not be allowed and secondly the ACP comparison report will show both dobs, if present, to enable checking that the user does not try to circumvent age restrictions.
The recommended settings would be to store in the database but not to copy to the birthday setting.
