Hi everyone,



Was hoping someone who had a similar situation, or knows more, might be able to give some insight.

Hi all,

I ended up opening a ticket for these two problems. The inability to edit in my advertising manager is still there. About the other, I did try from different browsers. It was confusing...

Hello,

I have vbulletin 4.2.1. And I want to start by saying everything was working perfectly fine, up until recently :0). I bought the vb facebook app. I had buyer remorse the next day and...

These are pretty dumb questions but I need to ask. I checked the sales page which lists features but it doesn't go into any detail. I am looking at upgrading to vb 4.

In looking at the features,...
