You've answered your own query. However, it goes on to say the following:
If you don't a credit card, don't worry. Please get in touch with us via web chat where we'll just need to confirm you're over 18 through receipt of valid photo ID such as a Passport or Driving Licence.
I have this problem.
Today, out of the blue, I was unable to access Internet Archive. No SMARTY error page is shown, my browser shows an SSL error page. Which makes it more difficult to realise, but I have learned the ways! This has happened twice in a month, but before that I had many months where it worked as it should.
"Adult content" seems to be deactivated even though account setting says "enabled". The solution is to toggle, but I don't have a credit card (only a debit card) so my only option is to do a web chat which is very slow and means the setting cannot be toggled out of hours.
It's a really annoying situation.
gingerbeardman Adult content is disabled by default in an attempt to protect minors - that is a very good thing.
Yes, it may be an inconvenience to get it enabled, but it is done for a sensible reason.
