I find that I can duplicate the bug by going to vBulletin Options->Email Options and having the following settings:

*Allow Users to Email Other Members

This as a serious bug if I knew others had this problem, or it's a serious design flaw if it is working as intended.

Prior to the upgrade from 3.68 to 3.70b4, I used to allow unregistered...

The order of priority in a directory for the Apache server is:

index.html, index.php, index.htm.

They can view a person's profile and email in the modcp.

Try registering a username of the name "unregistered" on your board. Then they will be told that the name is already in use.

Go to admincp > Forums & Moderators find your forum named "Picture Corner" and select to edit it. Then go to Posting Options and set the following:

If you use the vBulletin search as set in your admincp you can define the character limit, but if you use SQL full-text then the limit is defined by your web host.

[eclectica]

That involves changing the style (skin). So if you have other styles on your board besides the default, that you have installed, then they can change the appearance. You can see on the bottom left of...
