By default: the forum deactivate the signature display when you have no signature created. if in the future you have a new signature, you will have to edit your posts by hand to re-activate that signature in your old posts.

This feature will automate this process by checking all your old posts and re-activating the signature display. the choice do the opposite too, because it’s a select that let you choose to alternately deactivate your siggy everywhere…

So when you edit your signature, you have a new choice:

And as you see in the screenshot, you have a new checkbox to enable/disable the display of signature when you edit/create a new message…

As usual, this product is without any template or file edit, so you just have to import the product, and that’s it!

note: if you have a major forum, like millions of posts, i suggest to avoid this hack, as it will lock the posts table when editing the signature field of each posts from a member… it may be long for a member with 10 000 posts!

in 2 days or so, i’ll make the site public… (ok, it is already, but nobody knows!)

So bring your friends on, we need some chat, some questions and requests from real persons.

😉

here is the link…

Forums

for the concerned, it’s easy to see where they are going and where WE are heading… 🙂

ok, the situation is pathetic… they are hosted in a minimal classic setup, a single dedicated server. what is pathetic? they got a deal, long time ago, where they had good host at low cost. that means all the time that the host can decide to raise the package cost or close the hosting due to over-usage of bandwidth…

that’s what they got yesterday. it’s beed 3 weeks since they were noticed by their host that they have to move the site to some other big service… they took the advice too slow and they were closed without further notice because their service is too big… checking licenses, load of guest visitors, etc…

i have nothing about the host, they had to choose a bigger one. what i hate is the gadgets vbcredits.com use for license checking… expandable and over-use of callback, this is pathetic.

their license check is daily, one when you enter the admincp, the other in the daily cron. you can not avoid it as the engine is encrypted and do not work without these files. i talk about vbCommerce here, as vbCredit is not encrypted yet.

so they have a solid licenser… John was proud of it, and i told him that it would cause a lot of trafic and troubles… so there it is, their site is down, nobody can use their vbCommerce in the last 2 weeks, because they can not check their license, so a ton of sites are dependable to their own…

i NEVER want a crap like that.

Will block access to banned users profile and indicate a banned status in postbit.

It’s a strike, so it’s complete. Users will not have access to banned users profile, and will receive a notice instead:

There is also an indication in the postbit that the user was banned. the online icon will show locked, and the personal infos of the user will not be displayed:

All these details are configurable in the AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> User Banning: Nexia’s Strike for Banned User menu:

Flexible, simple, efficient. Banned users are not welcome anymore on your site?.. .this is the tool!

update: version 1.0.1: from [user]HiBEES[/user] bug report, the date of the unban date is now corrected … was showing the hours by error.

On any report, will send a PM to moderators or admins, and can also deactivate email sending on setting. (post, album, image, visitor message)

Here is how you set it:

This setting is located in the Infractions Options, here:

AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> User Infractions & Post Reporting Options

And here is the PM you receive when a post is reported:

As this is just a phrase, you can customize the text.

The former turkish support forum named vbTech.net, owned and operated by Mert Gökçeimam (aka Lizard King) is now merged to vbEnhancer.com to continue the service to the turkish community.

It’s not the first forum to be merged into vbEnhancer.com, we will also have some other sites which will be announced later this season. We’re not stealing databases, and we’re not dumping members, we’re actually trying to centralize the activities around vBulletin’s development so everybody find the resources in a single place, well balanced and well administered!

Welcome home!

yeah, i had to evaluate a lot of things regarding this site, and today i dropped the last things i thought were to be dropped…

first, no more community help… people in need of help for their vBulletin will go to the .org or the .com… these are the official places anyway, so Jelsoft will never be able to complain about me.

then, the products… i’m mostly done with iTrader, the first product i wanted to show on the site re-opening… the whole thing was not complicated to recode, i’m not rebuilding it right now, i was just merging all the features and recode the PHP in it to fit the real vB protocol… i’m done then, and in the next hours i phrase everything.

i’m not waiting for the MTF, people will read about it even if it is not released yet… the MTF engine need to be perfect so we test for the time we need to test it.

i will continue to release 2 or 3 hacks per day in the next weeks, i suppose i can release 100 or more hacks in the next weeks, and this is just regarding existing codes. yesterday i coded a gadget that was not on the market, so i think i can continue with these too… makes this site the biggest non-vb.org related release website… 100% of all the others are related to vb.org, most of them are even leeching vb.org’s content to make a living of it.

that’s it for the « news ». … i finish restructuring the forums right now, and continue with iTrader… which i mostly forgot about in the last days because i wanted to do something else…

Nope…

go here: vBulletin.org Forum if you have a customized forum

go there: vBulletin Community Forum – Powered by vBulletin if you use a forum without modifications.

Why aren’t we helping? not because we hate you, but because we’re not the official place to do so. This place is for commercial products and general support of the releases we do here.

You can post a service request in the Meet Market, but this is for paid services, not volunteering. vb.org is the place for that!

Always wanted to « secure » your administration process when you edited/deleted forums?… Wanted to speedup the move of thousands of threads before deleting a forum?

This engine is very simply to understand, and is missing from vBulletin. I coded the original version inside Invision Board, and when i came to vBulletin i thought it was already integrated, but even 5 years after, it’s still missing.

When you delete a forum, with the default vBulletin, here is the screen you have:

This is kind of unsafe, you know nothing about what you’re about to delete, and you have no idea what to do with it. You are forced to move all these threads before thinking to delete the forum, and you are not always sure you’re deleting the right forum… So here is the solution:

Pretty different, isn’t it?

The dropdown is the list of your forums, the exact same dropdown you have when you Edit your forum and navigate thru it to choose a forum.

Once you submit this form, your forum will be deleted, BUT before that, all the threads are moved where you choose to, or not… 🙂
