Album photos lack IP address of uploader

[JamesAB]

Consider this...somebody uploads an inappropriate album photo. Forum owners have very little useful information to track the origin of the upload or report the incident to authorities if necessary because...

[JamesAB]

I just noticed that vBulletin 3.8 still doesn't log the IP address when a member uploads album photos. This is a HUGE liability risk for forum owners who have no way of documenting the origin of the album...

This is untested, but will probably work for you since S1LV3R is still there as postusername and username.

UPDATE vns_thread SET postuserid = '104002' WHERE postusername = 'S1LV3R'

UPDATE vns_post

[JamesAB]

Absolutely. Just look for this section in your config.php file.

    //    ****** SLAVE DATABASE CONFIGURATION ******
    //    If you have multiple database backends, this is the information for

Are you asking about the "Threaded / Hybrid Mode Options"?

AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Threaded / Hybrid Mode Options

[JamesAB]

Yes. You can change the domain/URL information for your license in the member's area here at vBulletin.com

[JamesAB]

Your own posts will not show up when viewing "New Posts". They are excluded from the results.

[JamesAB]

You will be best off using the 'User' datamanager. Here's an older thread at vbulletin.org:

That might get you started or perhaps...

Take a look in the ImagePaths section of your StylVars.

Maybe it was changed there for some reason?

[JamesAB]

This could be related to the "Update Thread Views Immediately" option.

AdminCP -> Options -> Settings -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Update Thread Views...

Replacement variables should work for you.
AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Replacement Variable Manager

Add a replacement variable to the style you are using. In the above...

[JamesAB]

Now you are talking about links people have made in existing posts, correct?

I think you could make these links work correctly on your local machine by setting up a replacement variable in...

[JamesAB]

Rather than changing things in the database, wouldn't vBulletin's replacement variables also work for changing the domain to localhost?

[JamesAB]

Have you tried setting your Forum URL to localhost?

AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Forum URL

It looks like your modification(s) are not compatible with vB4.

Try disabling your modifications.

To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line...

Take a look in your navbar template. If the extra letter "A" is there, it will be near the text:
Note, this line show up twice in the standard navbar template.

If it's not...

[JamesAB]

It's possible to implement this, but it isn't a a built-in option with the standard software.

I suggest asking for a modification over at vbulletin.org

That mySQL error is from some old vB3.8 based code because vB4 does not have 'visible' in the attachment table.

Look at your plugins in the AdminCP to see if there is anything listed that...

[JamesAB]

That first fetch_template warning indicates that older 3.8 code is trying to be executed.

I've only seen this with 3rd party modifications or project tools. Are your hooks disabled in the...

The install or upgrade scripts may fail if you have not granted full permissions to your database username.
