vBulletin 5 vs. Invision (IPB, IP.Board)

[Gabrielt]

Hi,

We curently run vBulletin 3.8.7 and it is time to migrate to a more up-to-date system. We haven't decided yet on which system to use, vBulletin 5 or IP.Board. I can't find a reliable...

Simply too expensive to get vBulletin 3.8.8... You guys should be offering it for free for those who purchased vBulletin 3.8.7...

[Gabrielt]

Huh? The last version from 3.8 series was 3.8.7 PL3, right? There is no 3.8.8 version available.

Hi,

We have vBulletin 3.8.7 installed. We've upgraded PHP from 5.3 to 5.4. Everything seems to work fine, except for the random image generator (provided by freetype) at the user registration...

Hi,

Today we had a very strange issue. Our forums were loading correcting on IE and FF, but not on Chrome, after we upgraded MySQL from 5.5.30 to 5.6.10.

Users on Chrome could...

Hello,

Actually, the location is:

vBulletin Options -> Human Verification Options

You need to uncheck "search" and save. The drop-down menu (quick search) will now show...

Ops, the name of the option is doc_width. Changing it didn't produce any result, but I discovered that this was being caused by the remaining vB3 style. I had to delete it in order to all my customizations...

[Gabrielt]

Really crazy, changed as instructed but the change wouldn't show up. I had to delete the old vB3 template in order to make the new logo to show up. Just disabling it would not be enough.

[Gabrielt]

I don't see a max-width option listed under "Common"....

[Gabrielt]

Fixed here. The problem was one product/plugin that I kept active (Zoints SEO). Disabling it solved the problem.

Same problem here, upgrading from 3.8.4 PL2: forums.hardwaresecrets.com

ACP, Maintenance, Diagnostics, Suspect File Versions. I run this option after upgrading to 4.0.1 from 3.8.4 PL1 to make sure I don't have obsolte files hanging around our HDD and to my surprise I found...

Hello guys,

I looked for an option on the admin control panel to make it impossible for regular users to disable the private messaging system, but I wasn't able to find it. Please advice....

Thanks

Thanks!

Hello,

We will migrate to vBulletin 4.0 Forum Classic, as we don't have a need for CMS.

One question. Will we be able to import the language pack we currently use on vBulletin...

[Gabrielt]

Hello,

You have to delete this part:

  <if condition="$show['communitylink'] AND $show['popups']">

[Gabrielt]

Fixed this by:

1. Forcing the installation ("If you are sure you wish to continue with this part of the upgrade, click here").

2. Running this query:

[Gabrielt]

Same here when upgrading from 3.7.4 PL1 to 3.8.0 final:

Your vBulletin (3.8.0 Release Candidate 2) does not appear to be running the version that was downloaded (3.8.0).
