Some questions before converting from phpBB

Ik bedoelde ook niet dat ik van plan ben echt iets te gaan releasen, maar als ons team (dat hoe dan ook de vertaling volledig zal doorlopen voordat we met vB live gaan) verbeteringen aanbrengt die voor...

Wow, I'm back from my holidays and a lot of work has been done here! I'm looking forward to see the results.

Our team at Hardware.Info will work from this upcoming new release. We have someone...

I think another cool addition to vBulletin would be an AJAX-translation-mode. This would allow you to translate in-place.

For the rest: I'm going to analyze your work and will probably merge...

Could you send me a copy of this internal link parser, without support. I can recode it to suit my needs. Because I can only find threads about it being pulled, but no downloadable code?

Thank you for your fast answers, this will help me a lot and save me quite some time.

I will be back here during my experiments when more questions arise.

This post will most likely offend people (Floris). Please note that I appreciate his work and that of his team.

I haven't read this entire topic, but I must agree with Grover that the quality...

To overcome problems of people working on the same file, there is a very nice system called CVS. This allows people to work on the same file while changes to it are merged into 1 central file which has...

Thanks for the reply, this is the kind of info I was looking for. Maybe there are other people who can give their experience with the speed issue?
My server seems to be able to handle the load...

My board is running 1.1.6 without any problems right now. I have some custom made scripts in place, which allow people to place reactions on my normal website, which are put in the VB database in a 'Website...

This is pretty cheesy, but it works:
Change line 253 of global.php from:

$bbcode=eregi_replace("\\[url\\]([^\\[]*)\\[/url\\]","<a href=\"\\1\" target=_blank>\\1&

I'm writing my own patch at the moment to stop this one from becoming a disaster.
Will post it here when i'm done...
