Forum display totally messed up...

Actually css style sheets were stored in database, but after I changed it to file system, the opposite to what you asked me to do, it worked. Strange....

Its a forum that I used to run actively but now just kept it as a place for old members to come and chat at times, since I grew out of the topic/focus of that...

It seems that something really strange happened to my VB 4.2.2 forum. When I visited it, the forum was kinda upside down. All styling/images are not showing up, only the banner image. I switched to several...

Well I give you people the credits you deserve, good job this time.

Not sure if its ridiculously slow, but it definitely is insanely slow, or overwhelmingly slow if you ask me....

She has a very good point, upgrading to a software with flaws and missing features is dangerous for live sites. I run most of my forums with VB3, there was one that I actually attempted to upgrade to...

Id recommend you just to buy a new license, theres really little point to upgrade when its just a little bit cheaper than getting another license. You may use your current VB4 license for other purposes,...

Its not my personal opinion, if you ever browse TAZ(the admin zone) you'd realize how many people do agree with me, and just a very few users consider VB4 to be a superior product than VB3....

Alright then, guess I have to seek help from VBulletin.org. Anyway its a bad choice to give up on VB3.8 this quickly, its still a better software than VB4 ever is and far more popular among forum adm...

But this support forum is here for a reason, why not just remove all VB 3.x subforums if all you can say is 'VB3.8 is end of life'. Look, I am not even requesting VB to fix this for me, I just want to...

[Hall of Famer]

Well I am not asking you what VB4.2 does about deprecated elements, it is a vb3.8 subforum anyway. If you dont know, can you please try to ask a coder or another staff about this? I mean, even if you...

Oh sure, I plan to remove all these ampersands before upgrading to PHP 5.4(still running PHP 5.3.19 atm). And it seems that there are other incompatibility issues involved with PHP 5.4 and Vbulletin?...

[Hall of Famer]

Well as far as I know, VB 3.8.7 is not compatible with PHP 5.4, but the fix is relatively easy. Just have to find all the ampersand symbols and get rid of them, these are what become deprecated in PHP...

Well on my vb3.8 forum there are spambots capable of bypass both image and recaptcha validation. Luckily they still cannot activate their account with these fake emails, so none of them actually is posting....

On one of my VB3.8 sites there are spambots registering every now and then. Fortunately the situation is well under control since they normally cannot activate their accounts through those fake emails,...
