Site grabber software

[Flynn]

Steve I'll be wanting to do the same at some point as soon as I've more time.

My Invision board was upgraded not so long ago from 1.3 to 2.1 so there's a legacy_password field in the members...

A lot of bandwidth and presumable bit of a hit to the server?

[Flynn]

I've been told (by someone I don't think is too knowledgeable) that vB is vulnerable to site-grabber utilities trying to download the entire db.

Is there any truth in this or is there something...

[Flynn]

Thanks Tantawi.

Do vBulletin give any official guidelines to server requirements or would I need to email sales for that?

[Flynn]

Could someone tell me how many users within a 15 minute period could be expected to to be able to use a vBulletin board on a dedicated server with a P4 3.06 GHz and 2GB RAM? Thank you.

No Zachery we don't want or intend to read PMs or emails. We would, as said, like the ability to see unusual usage as we can with our current software. I was just pointing out as you've confirmed that...

[Flynn]

Thanks for the suggestion Reeve though we don't want to read either emails or PMs. Around 600 PMs alone are sent from our board each day and a very high number of emails - so it wouldn't be physically...

[Flynn]

Only one I could find was this one: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...=monitor+email which looks a bit clumsy against the log system of IB. I'd be snowed under if I got...

[Flynn]

Bugger, that's a shame. Obviously no one product will have it all but I think that's maybe the single deal-breaker for us.

At the moment we've also the option of limiting the number of emails...

Thanks Floris!


That might be a problem for us. It's an animal welfare site where charities home animals. In the past we've had animal dealers joining and secretly contacting dozens...

Cheers xplode. That was fast - before I got my edit finished which was can a time limit for user edits be set?

Hello,

My intention is to move from IBF 1.3 to vB. I've looked at them demo and a lot of features but wondered if someone could confirm these that I didn't get the chance to notice? Sorry...

[Flynn]

Thanks gents. Seems I've a lot of reading to do. Upgrading always makes me nervous.

Cheers _| () R | Z.

I've had a glance at the conversion forums but still none the wiser. How complete is the conversion? I saw something about leaving br tags unconverted I think, would...

[Flynn]

Thanks Floris for such a fast reponse!

No, you are quite right it's Invision 1.0.1. (Used to run good old Ikonboard v2 but don't remember v. 1)

Sorry, I hadn't spotted...

Hello,

I'm currently running IBF v. 1.0.1 (yes I know) with around 9000 members and 300MB db.

Could someone tell me to which stage I'll have to upgrade IBF before I can use...
