Currently if COPPA is disabled, there's a text which goes like that:
| Quote: |
[...]Note: By pressing the button you declare that you are over the age of 13. If you are 13 or under, please use this registration form.[...]
|
I guess this is particularily tailored to the COPPA thing and "this registration form" was meant as a link to that alternative form for those under 14. There, however is no such alternative form where one could go to. And even if, it wouldn't make any sense because if COPPA doesn't apply to our installation (because we live outside the US) it's sort of useless to point to another form. Maybe the agreement text should be modified that there are two versions: One containing the COPPA thing and providing an alternative link if someone chanced to click the wrong link and the other one which leaves out the quoted sentence above.
the second issue I'd like to mention affects restricted forums: If a topic was moved from a public to a restricted forum a pointer to the new location is displayed revealing the name of the hidden forum.
Other features in FUD behave in this situation that they state a message that someone isn't authorize to view a particular ressource. Maybe it's feasable to change the message in this case that it has been moved to a different location which is restricted in its access.
Just some suggestions to make a good forum maybe a bit better (depending on the point of view)
