Moving Forum to a New Web Host

[Ion Saliu]

Thanks, but no, thanks. I got enough headaches because of Norm of qfit infamy. I lost my entire forum after I changed Web hosting. I don’t want anything extra in emotional distress. I have read enough...

My database was named, intuitively enough, saliuforum. I just don’t know how that information_schema came about. I was able to move another SQL database to the new host, (it was created...

Axiomatic Colleagues of Mine:

Moving to another web host meant DISASTER for me! I just can’t import my forum SQL database. The error message reads:

“CREATE DATABASE `information_schema`...

Thanks a lot, donald1234!.And, sure, thanks vBulletin for a generous policy!

That would make my life easier, as I have a pretty fresh copy of the MySQL database on my PC>

Yes, I had read here plenty of complaints about the GoDaddy web hosting company. They gave me some good financial incentives — and I stayed with them for too many years! It is the convenience, first...

Correct, axiomatic one! That’s what happens when trying to access my AdminCP by typing the address in the browser (http://forums.saliu.com/admincp/).

Well, then, looks like this /instal...

I am not always in these forums, but I noticed a collection of issues that are raised in this forum frequently. The issues are repeated unnecessarily as Search might not always yield the best results....

Joe, I don’t think it works, axiomatic colleague of mine. What happens when I type …/upgrade.php in the browser? The /install folder is .htaccess protected. I try, for example:

http://f...

I was also hit by the Psychosama hack in September 2013. No damage was to my forum probably due to a .htaccess file. I was able to discover the skumbullows (who registered as Administrator more than 10...

Axiomatic Colleague of Mine:

An experience like yours was my first run-in with vBulletin. That is the base64 infection. It happened to me during the first upgrading operation to my forum....

Axiomatic Colleague of Mine:

I always hear in these forums the advice from vB that the customers add .htaccess to the folders of their forums. Is it so hard for vBulletin team itself to...

Thank you for posting that IP. It is already recognized as a spamming nest.

I felt the same pain! I first wrote about it in this thread:

Axiomatic Colleagues of Mine:

I’ve been here for three years now — since I became a vBulletin customer. I have noticed more often than I’d have liked issues related to incompatibilities....

A screenshot would surely shed brighter light, axio. I use SnagIt, but I’m sure Windows Paint will do. Open Chrome and a post in your forum. Let the edit screen show the address and other controls down...

[Ion Saliu]

Mea culpa! I didn’t mention the version. My forum runs vB 4.2.0.

I open a thread in Google Chrome. I click on Edit Post and the post opens correctly. See screenshot below of a real-life...

This happens in the new Internet Explorer 11. It happened to me in both Windows, 8.1 and 7 (64-bit in my case). In IE11, I click on Edit. The editor shows a textbox with <? only. One can make a big...

CAVEAT –
I posted (above) with the new Internet Explorer 11. I typed and was able to insert page breaks correctly. Pasting from Word does NOT preserve the paragraphs.

After I clicked...

Axiomatic Colleague of Mine:

I faced the same problem. Posting YouTube videos never worked in my forum (vBulletin 4.2.0). The solution I found is to embed code with the editor in source ...
