Ways to make Login/Register More Obvious

[fmckinnon]

Awesome, thanks Mark.B - I added that to my left sidebar, and set it to ONLY show to Guests.
I did also create a new page here, but although the registration works, it just keeps reloading the...

Thanks Wayne Luke - I agree, the issue isn't that the login bar blends in too much with page, the problem is that it's the exact same color as the Chrome and/or Safari background, so it just blends in...

Hey Everyone,

Based on feedback from users, I want to make the login box easier to notice. As you can see here, the login/register stripe at the top of the page is easy to miss. I've not...

Hey Gang,

On multiple occasions, we've awakened to hundreds of emails from our server notification system of mySQL errors where our forum is being attacked. Eventually mySQL runs out of...

Thanks Joshua Gonzales...

Does anyone know if there is a way to build and schedule a series of automated followup emails once a user signs up via vBulletin? With version 4 we utilized the MailChimp plugin which sync'd our vBulletin...

Thanks ProSportsForums ... what is your site? Sounds like maybe we do same thing, if you are running WordPress and vBulletin. Do you build an email list? I'd hoped to be able to find a integration...

ProSportsForums: thanks for the quick reply. I just signed up for the vb5 demo, and saw the "Articles" feature, and thought to myself "yes, this is a CMS". However, I'm confused...

Hey Gang,

We've been running vb4 for a long time. Recently we switched over to bbPress and tried running the forums there - we liked the stripped down, clean look but ultimately, the features...

We are running 4.2.2 which is the last stable version of v4

[fmckinnon]

I don't know what that is/means? "suspect file versions?"

[fmckinnon]

K a Ma L - thanks for the quick reply. I've disabled the plugins. I checked for a .htaccess file in my /forums root and don't see one. (I do have "show invisible files" checked on my FTP...

Hey Gang,

Our forum (4.2.2 PL4) has been hacked ... it's randomly redirecting users to external links - some porn, some dating sites, etc -- not always the same site. It's erratic - it doesn't...

[fmckinnon]

We;re in the same boat - have uploaded all new files, upgraded, removed the /install directory, there are no additional admins that should't be there, but did delete a suspeicious regular user .. still...

Hey Gang,

We upgraded to 4.1 a few months ago, and ever since our Facebook Connect hasn't worked.
I have searched the forums, and I have CONFIRMED that it's only because of our templates....

[fmckinnon]

thanks - my config.php had been overwritten!

Hey,
Finally took the plunge and bought the v4 license upgrade - we were at 3.8+.

I uploaded and replaced all the files in our /forum directory w/ those in the /upload folder ......

[fmckinnon]

I see that there is a Wordpress option in the IMPEX now ... is there any documentation or examples, etc ....

Our site has Wordpress for articles, and vBulletin for forums, and we use the...

Hey,
I've given one of our forum members "administrator", "moderator" and "super moderator" privileges; yet when he logs into the /admincp with his UserID/password...
