Upgrading to vB4 Pub Suite...

[Alteran Ancient]

I have been a customer of vBulletin (Jelsoft, to be precise) since 2005 - that's about 7 years.

I was hurt a bit when I got pressured into buying vB4 before seeing the goods (was $160 at...

Creating a new Parent Style fixed it for me. Reverting affected styles and parents did absolutely nothing. :S

A friend of mine experienced the sharp end of this topic - he's a small-time web host and one of his clients got caught with a pirated copy of vB. The result? The host was threatened with a fine. It's...

I don't know if you've realised, but the mobile style was designed specifically to work with Webkit-based browsers. Android's Chrome variant browser supports this, iOS's Safari browser supports this,...

I can't thank you enough for supporting the Android movement. Android users make-up a bigger majority of my site's mobile visitors than those using iOS.

Disabling vB Project Tools caused my mobile style to start working again. My Project Tools are more important, though, so, I will have to go without the mobile style until a fix is found.

In California, apparently. Considering it's 11:43AM over here, it's probably some time before 4AM over there, thus, no developer response for a number of hours. Try again later....

I'm also having this problem.

If your web browser is stuck on the broken style and thus you are seeing white, set your style ID to...

If your SMF board uses the default "index.php?topic=418909.0" linking structure, then you will lose any perma-linking setup you have with any Google Search Results until Google's spider crawls...

You should check out the Hosting Options forum. People discuss opinions about various shared and dedicated hosts in there, so it would be a good place for you to start.

I've used vBulletin for years, and I've also had a taste of what some of the competitors have to offer, including IPB3. I tried it, and while it looked pretty, was absolutely horrible to administrate...

A three-year revival? That's got to be a new record! Give yourself a pat on the back, sir.

I paid for it back in vB3.8, and I'm waiting for it to be supported in vB4. What's more is that it's now going free; I paid for it, so I'm feeling pretty bummed-off. This open-sourcing movement had better...

It doesn't matter too much anyway; Magic Quotes were officially deprecated as-of PHP 5.3 and are being taken out of PHP 6 altogether.

Mccollin is indeed correct. Th old vBulletin 3 terms stated that an "Owned License" is yours to keep, with updates and support for a year. This is no longer true.

Now, purchasing...

It's a shame to lose some of the very loyal and talented UK Development team that we have been familiar with, but I understand that the transition to California was necessary.

A very nice...

What the OP actually means about "Autotools" as seen on ZetaBoard's Documentation is the process of automating frequent multi-tasks into one-click actions; I remember IPB2 boasted such a feature,...

As I have pre-purchased the vB4 Pub Suite, I was able to send a Support Ticket requesting vB Blog access for vB3, and Steve Machol was more than happy to give it; thanks Steve!

To keep my options open, I normally use /forum or /forums to install my forum to. If I'm not using the root directory, I just create a re-direct into the forums. This way, I can easily adapt my website...

Not sure if this has already been answered before or not, but if I buy-in now during the pre-sale, would I be able to have access to vB Blog for my existing vB3 installation? Or is that not possible?
