Have you tried restarting MySQL? It's possible it crashed while sending such large amount of PMs.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, if they did this to focus on quality and not quantity, it's more likely the forum will improve and faster. Another company makes a terrific forum software with just...

To be honest, I've been so annoyed with the slowness and bugs in vB5C that I haven't really given it a try, I've no idea what the new features are or do. Even though there's a 90% chance I'll be moving...

You can't use something like Impex to convert from 5 to 4 or 4 to 3?

That system has its advantages and disadvantages. It's great for the consumer to have all available mods in the same place, and developers have a greater potential of selling their products. On the other...

I don't know if you could this, but you should report the adsense code to Google, that's gotta be something against their rules, you could probably get their account banned.

In ACP go to Threads & Posts > Prune.

You can delete all threads older than X there.

If you haven't tried the options listed here, you should.

I think it's a bug, I've seen him too (just now):

Yes, but vB3 was developed for 7 years. vB4 was developed for 2 and a half years (not counting the last year which hasn't seen any new releases). I know development will continue, but I don't think it...

The reason is that they give you the full suite for the same price (forum, CMS and blog) and you get free updates for the entire life of the series, you don't have to renew your license every 6 months...

Ouch. Sorry man, if for some reason you can't get it here, you can buy a second hand license elsewhere. It'll be cheaper for sure, just make sure you get it from someone with good reputation.

It's not gold yet, but it's no longer beta, it's not labeled as RC either. *shrugs*

I really don't understand why vB5C was released either, I mean, the way it is now is basically unusable...

CloudFlare allows you to block all traffic from any country you want. Their free plan allows you to do this too.

vB5 is extremely slow. Although this latest version is faster for me, it's still slow compared to vB4 and other forum software. If I were you, I'd wait at least a year before considering upgrading.

[The Crow]

I'm getting the same speeds here. Using Opera 12.14, Windows 7 Ultimate 64b....

Not necessarily, if you have access to the database, make a back up and you should be able to restore it....

[The Crow]

You can use PHPMyAdmin to make smaller database backups, depending on the set up, it's usually up to 50 MBs. Your forum files would have to be backed up either by being downloaded manually or using a...

If your target traffic is Australian, then it is best if you find an Australian host (with servers in Australia, of course). It's not "a must", but your site should load faster for your target...
