vBulletin 3.8 -> 3.8 ImpEx Merge: all of destination forum's posts are gone?

[LanciaStratos]

I have also been inundated with forum subscription emails over the past few days, and I can't unsubscribe. Here's the email:



Clicking the "unsubscribe" link takes...

Yes, but I restored the destination forum from a backup between the two attempts.

I did, however, restore the backup from an Idera CDP backup server, instead of deleting the database and...

I'm trying to merge two vBulletin 3.8.7 boards (source board is PL2, destination board is PL3) together using the latest version of ImpEx. The merge appeared to have completed without any errors, and...

I would like to log reported posts to a thread in a specified forum.

However, after configuring the feature, no threads are created in the specified forum. The forum appears as if a new...

This has nothing to do with 'punishment' and everything to do with finding a way to prevent my large forum from blasting thousands of emails, each day, to unreachable email addresses. As these notification...

They appear to be receiving all notification emails, including new private messages and new posts in subscribed threads. I didn't want to make them a banned group, but could find no other alternative...

I'm trying to prevent my vB 3.8 installation from sending notification emails to users in the "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" usergroup. I changed the "This Usergroup is not a 'Banned'...

I've written a custom script which loads bounced forum notification emails and automatically moves the affected users to the "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" user group. It works perfectly,...

Thanks, Steve! I'll give it a shot.

I've got a big thread (50,000 replies) that's getting slammed with traffic and posts right now (along with pretty much the rest of my site). Would it be wise to break this thread up into smaller bits...

[LanciaStratos]

Yep, I'm still getting reports of this as well, even after my users upgraded to 3.6.2.

FlashChat has a lot of great features, and it is great, just be careful with scalability. Chat can be a fairly intensive application if you get a lot of concurrent users, and that's why I went with AddOnChat....

[LanciaStratos]

I've been very happy with AddOnChat for several years now. It's nicely integrated with a plugin over at vBulletin.org (by the same people who run the service) as well.

I just had the same issue, extremely frustrating to say the least.

When a moderator edits a thread title, the change is recorded in the thread's 'Moderator Log'. However, when a user changes the title of their thread, that information is not recorded. Does the log...

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately, I do still have the same problem. I deleted all of the files in my forum directory (with the exception of config.php, modified to disable the plugin system as you...

I'm trying to use the feature which creates a thread for every reported post. However, when a post is reported, no thread is created. The title of the thread does appear as the forumbit's "Last...

I'm deep into web 2.0 and have been running my own site for more than 7 years, but never have understood why people found "tagging" to be such an interesting feature. Del.icio.us and Gmail...

[LanciaStratos]

Oh, well, yeah I guess that would be the best way to handle it. I suppose I just expected to be able to control that style information along with the rest of the CSS in the AdminCP.

Thanks for posting this, skeebem, I was just about to do it myself when I found your thread. I've been running and customizing vBulletin installations for nearly 7 years now and was quite shocked that...
