vBulletin 4.x backup & restore

[branchesdesign]

Hi all,

I've just been reading the online documentation for vBulletin which says there are options to backup and restore - I can't find any! I'm running 4.01.

Basically,...

Hi all,

I just made a user on a forum we've been working on an Administrator. For some reason they aren't getting all the Administrator options in the control panel, i.e. all they're seeing...

Hi all,

I recently migrated a phpbb3 forum over to vBulletin 4 using Impex. I think I need to move all the users from the 'Active Imported Usergroup' into my 'Members' group. How do I do...

Brilliant solution. How do I edit the text of the email?...

[branchesdesign]

Ah. It'll never work for us then. Damn. Is it possible to 'downgrade' to the previous version? I've contacted Plesk who say it is *impossible* to upgrade PHP

Hi all,

Quick question: We have a Plesk 8 webserver that runs PHP 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3

Apparently you can't upgrade PHP on this as it breaks the control panel. Will vBulletin (just...

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I've *never* touched a forum before so all this is completely alien to me. I thought I'd be able to run the import and away you go. Clearly I was wrong!

I...

Ok, heres a run-down of whats (not) happening. I've imported my PHPBB forum into vBulletin and when I preview the result, there is no forum there. Reading the output of ImpEx I can see that it has (apparently)...

Hi,

Yeah I tried that and no joy. :-(
