Cannot update user profile via admin acct after banning user

[cujo]

Please disregard. All is well now. Thx

[cujo]

I just manually banned a spammer logged in as the Administrator acct. I then tried to change their URL so visitors could not see their spam URL and other spam in their profile. However, after clicking...

aximsite.com has a nice little badge/award feature. Not sure which one it is though.

[cujo]

What about checking the raw web server (ie. Apache) log files to see who accessed private.php around that time?

[cujo]

Yes, it appears to be encoded now. Not the older versions though which were so buggy and PHP so poorly done, we had to have our PHP programmer mod them. Hopefully, those issues are gone now.

[cujo]

Thanks. I see the deskpro Forums are private now and for customers only. Our license expired several years ago, and I am hesitant to ever renew due to all the stuff we went through.

Also...

[cujo]

Deskpro?? Are they even still around?? We bought v1 long ago, got an update to 2.0... then the programmer(s) disappeared w/o a trace. We still use our own modded version of v1. It 'works' is about all...

I need to run a query to match certain emails in our own mysql dbase to ones in vBulletin's user -> email. On positive matches, I need to move those users to another Primary Usergroup.

[cujo]

Actually, I see now I am confusing the two as doing the same function.

The 'Create Usergroup Based off of Usergroup' at the top works fine duplicating usergroup permission wise.

This feature is not working... or is it just me?

I tried creating a new Usergroup called 'Students', which is 'based off another Usergroup' (a new one I created called 'Registered Users...

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational...

That's HTML though which is not allowed by default. Since it is an img, I guess it is the same as within [IMG] tags. I am assuming this is some sort of redirect at the destination end like below? Does...

[cujo]

Yes, but you don't know the PM msg is included until you get the PM notification email (unless you know about it already). I would assume something like this would be disabled by default.

...

[cujo]

We had several of our students reply to the PM notification email also, which of course went to our support email address for all techs to see. A lot of personal stuff in there.

That is until...

A 301 redirect in an .htaccess is what you want then. Check with your host why it is not working.

[cujo]

Perhaps you want a web based interface to the .htaccess file?

If I were do a web based interface to an .htaccess file to restrict IP's (rather than using the built-in one in vB). I would...

[cujo]

Looks ok to me.

Maybe your host is not setup to use .htaccess files? They should be otherwise password protecting important folders like the ACP won't work.

Perhaps try a tmp...

[cujo]

You could also create a new index.html file in the root dir with a meta refresh.

The 301 in the .htaccess is prob better though for search engines.

[cujo]

Prob be something like http://192.168.1.2 or similar.

Wouldn't vB timeout or hang though in the ACP when it does it's 'checks' at the vB site if used in an Intranet setting? It used to for...

I don't drink and never have. I was more interested in hmmm let's see... buying books, Kraft Dinner, and scrounging for rent money perhaps??

Again, stop your whining. You are getting n...
