ExpireAccount
ExpireAccount addon will expire an account after a number of days. To make it work you should add a flexprofile field to store this date. Disable the flexprofile field so it can only be edit by admin in user profiles. Date format to be used is dd-mm-yyyy. This add-on extends the preference and settings page with the fields below. Specify the position of the field in the flexprofile (1 is first field). Specify also the number of days a new member is allowed before his account expires and the message that will be shown to members who's account is expired.

YaBB add-on will synchronize MCC members to YaBB forum. This add-on adds the following section to preference and settings. Specify the path to the YaBB member directory and also the url. When YaBB should be added to MCC menubar check the In Menu option. Specify the default group for all you MCC members in YaBB. Admin members with also become administrator within YaBB. When flexprofile position is filled, you can specify for each user a other YaBB group. We advice to use a disabled flexprofile so only admin can edit the YaBB group. A new member will get the defaultgroup as default. There is a special link in the add-on panel on the admin page that allows to migrate all you current MCC members to YaBB. This option is only needed when you have already MCC members and want to move them to a YaBB forum. Every change within MCC will after this add on is configured correctly be passed to YaBB. No changes done within YaBB will be migrated to MCC.
