SQL needed to retire old accounts

[Una Persson]

OK, looks like I heard correctly then. That's OK, I'll proceed with buying a 4.0 license. Thanks!...

[Una Persson]

This is sort of the situation I'm in - if I buy VB 4.0, where or how do I download 3.8x instead?

Also, I've read that 3.8 will not upgrade a VB 2.3 install, that one needs VB 3.6 instead,...

[Una Persson]

Thanks, Steve.

I have users that haven't visited for 3 months, 6 months, a year etc. I want to be able to run a SQL script to update the database to move them from the "registered" usergroup to the "retired"...

No e-mail reply, although that was a good possibility. I don't have a mail server, so I have disabled all e-mail functions, and removed the checkboxes that would enable e-mail notification too.

Only 5 at the time for one, and 3 for the other. Which odd, since I have threads with more than a hundred posts that have no problems at all. In fact, my Members have *only* reported it when replying...

[Una Persson]

Err...very small, actually. Maybe only 5-10 kb of text. It is only happening to a couple members, and most others can easily read and reply to ones that are 200kb+ with no problems.

OK, my username and registration ID is entered as well. How exactly do I change the timeout value also? This error is starting to cause problems.

Is the root cause a slow CPU, or too...

Thank you Ed. PHP is a strange beast indeed, compared to C - it appears that it dynamically created a global, untyped variable and assigned its type based on the operation of a function or an assignment...

[Una Persson]

Wait a second, Mr Sullivan - is my code correct then? The way I read it, it checks to see if there is a valid return for the $getforum function, if so sets local variable "$pinky" to it, and...

[Una Persson]

Firefly, I found a possible bug with the code here.

As-implemented, it seems to kill the "Move Thread" function (I posted about it in "Troubleshooting"). I got around...

[Una Persson]

OK, OK, I found it

The problem is, I implemented the hack found in this thread:

http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=26248

and that kills...

For the first time since installing 2.0.3 one of my Moderators tried to Move a thread, and found out that although no errors are displayed, the thread will not move. In fact, after I got on and tried...

[Una Persson]

Never mind, I figured it out - it seems to be working perfectly now for all cases.

I'm not *actually* dumb, just over-cautious when changing new things.

[Una Persson]

Forgive me for being inexperienced at this - I am assuming that this is a function that returns the id of the forum you are viewing the thread in? If so, it looks promising. Would I put it in the phpinclude...

[Una Persson]

I regret to say that it seems not to work once you are down in a thread, as (I suspect) it does not know what the $forumid is. I will likely have to look at the template option again. Is there a tutorial...

[Una Persson]

Thank you very much, Kier, for your fast and effective help here in this and my other thread tonight. It is greatly appreciated by myself, and the members of my Board.

[Una Persson]

OK, question 2 of the night - my members are having a hard time seeing the links contained within posts. Is there a simple way to make ONLY the links within the posts themselves appear with the "0000FF"...

[Una Persson]

Well, his suggestion is a good one, but it says that it does not work while one is viewing threads. I want the graphic in a Forum, and all threads underneath it, to be the same. This was trivial in...

[Una Persson]

I read the documentation, and I searched on such things as "styles", "replacement", "template", etc. But I still really do not understand how styles work in the new vBulletin....
