Whether vB4 uses it specifically or nit is irrelevant. Many, probably most, Linux servers use one to set parameters and if edited incorrectly it can still crash a site regardless of the platform....

[djbaxter]

I just had this problem too. Ask your host to check for mod_security or mod_evasive and disable those if they're running.

[djbaxter]

Well technically you could redirect each subdomain to the original forum category without needing an additional license.

That said, it's a dumb idea from the start line. What does the client...

Notifications really shouldn't be a problem unless it's a super busy forum.

What gets you into trouble is mass emailing like newsletters.

If your host can't handle notifications,...

I'm not sure I understand. If you want to PM me the details with logins, I can take a look. I am somewhat familiar with the Sitepoint control panel since I manage three sites that use it....

[djbaxter]

Yes from your browser settings. Delete all cookies from your domain and see if that helps....

Time to upgrade your software or find a new host.

1. take it out of header

2. leave it in headinclude but it looks like you have magic quotes in your version of the tag and if it's at the very top you need to move it down below the meta...

What is this, your last attachment above? I've never seen that, AFAIK.

mod_security can be a problem for many forums, regardless of the forum software.

[djbaxter]

Sure. Either

1. you didn't test it with all of your plugins disabled and one of your plugins is incompatible with with 7.1, or
2. the 7.1 build you tried to use has a module that is incompatible, like mod_security,

Add this to the top of your /includes/config.php file, right below the opening

ini_set("display_errors", true);
define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', false);
