Editing FAQ items

If you already paid for the backup, then I believe at this point the rest of the conversion should be fair.

Hiding the word "vBulletin" from all files used on your forums would not stop someone familiar with vBulletin from recognizing your installation. The general style of pages and file names would...

Contragulations. The posts you made about the plugin system and some of the pointers you gave me (about custom bbcode plugins) were especially helpful, so you deserve it.

Setting a low limit is the way to do it, not turning it off. Set a max of 10 or 25 messages at once, which means that you pretty much have to upgrade to use private messenging. But you don't want to completely...

vBulletin chooses reauthentication (and 60 min automatic log outs) with the admin control panel. That seems like a reasonable choice - you can't do most extremely destructive stuff without it. Even so,...

The other alternative is to simply ship it back as a return. Since it's not "defective" you should be able to get your money back (or even credit would do) and buy another one.

It will also do wonders for your memory usage. Firefox has a bad habit of forgetting to deallocate memory... almost ever, as far as I can tell. I've had 150MB instances of Firefox not uncommonly with...

Hmm... okay. I guess it's time to post a new suggestion, as the FAQ editing system is not at all intuitive....

[Darth Cow]

Right. I can click through to the point where I see the text (and HTML markup) for each individual FAQ item, but the text is not editable.

How exactly do I edit the FAQ items on my forum? I can find the interace in the Admin CP, but only find the option to enter a new translation.

I don't want to write a new translation, just...

[Darth Cow]

Yeah, that does the trick. My co-admin gave me "DELETE FROM post_parsed;" although he didn't seem to remember telling me about it in the first place. It must just be my poor memory ....

[Darth Cow]

Hmm. Thanks anyways, I'll ask my co-admin who told me about it in the first place ....

I found that one, but I believe there is also a way to simply clear the post cache without rebuilding it immediately? That worked a lot better for testing new bbcodes.

[Darth Cow]

I know there's some way to press a button in the Admin CP to clear the post cache for each post (so that it gets automatically generated on viewing and bbcode gets updated). I seem to have forgotten where...

You may be able to find stickers with Swedish keys that you can stick on the keys for your laptop that will let you have the equivolent of a Swedish keyboard paired with some software. Actually, it might...

Avast Antivirus (free, fast, lightweight: beats my school's antivirus that they claim you're forced to install hands down)
Windows XP SP2 Firewall
Microsoft AntiSpyware (considering removing...

[Darth Cow]

Yes, but you also simply enforce a rule that any who use the tag who aren't moderators will be banned. That works quite well on my boards ....

[Darth Cow]

vBulletin uses a separate function to send mail which includes the mail() function inside of it, so there's only one place to hack, in includes/functions.php.

[Darth Cow]

Okay, thanks ....

This forum has over 2 million posts and corresponding number of threads, members, etc. About how long can I expect an upgrade to take, just to run through the update files, excluding anything else like...
