Afternoon,

I was greeted with this here on Meta, which I really like. Is this something new? How do we activate this on our own forum if we wish?

It’s a user field which is required for all users

So, I may be mistaken here.

I was after more of the updated terms that have to be agreed to with the tick box than the user field.

I can’t see anything regarding adding the page, etc.

Edit: I think I have sorted this out now. I see it’s through the (confirmation part).

Edit No. 2:

I can confirm that I have successfully added it.
