A Petition to put post count in IOT

[peter grimes]

I've posted the link to the online vBulletin manual elsewhere in Site Feedback. It's freely available. So is the support forum.

I tried to use that link - perhaps you linked an out-of-date version? It was wiki-style, and most of the areas that I was looking into were empty.

That does not compute on Bing Translator. It auto detects it as Swedish.

This link works fine for me... http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html It includes lots of different versions (see the drop-down menu on the upper left area), and isn't a wiki.

That VBulletin manual link works fine for me, but the info starts getting thin when you get to the end of the branches.

A few more days untill the weekend! Who will get postcount? Who will be denied? Will the world be saved? Stay tuned to your CFC Information center for the latest non-developments.

Leet the good time roll. I hope SF keeps pc.

 

[NinjaCow64]

So BirdJag can continue his plot to gain postcount from posting indecipherable spam! I see through your plans mate.

 

[ainwood]

Sure hope I don't accidentally turn it off everywhere. That would be terrible.

Might as well steal forty cakes while you're at it.

Won't someone please think about the egos

Not to derail this thread, but here's the bit I was specifically referring to:

Which version of vBulletin does CFC use? It looks like you're looking at material pertaining to the newest version, which I'm pretty sure we're not using.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

Yeah, we are not using 5.0.5

 

[Petek]

CFC uses vBulletin 3.8.2.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

3.8.2 is embarrassingly far down the drop down list on the online manual.
Search is not helping me much yet. I have not yet found out how one would turn postcount on and off.

I know it's possible, because it was done on a vBulletin forum I used to belong to (this happened in 2006). My postcount at the time was between 7500-8000, and it dropped to somewhere less than 500. The idiotadmin who turned off postcount in most of the forums had no clue that we'd lose our postcount for posts already made. Since some of the accesses and privileges on that forum were postcount-dependent, to say this caused a riot is an understatement.

Of course its possible the issue here is that the manual is not all that easy to navigate or easy to search unless you do search exactly with the correct phrases - the option by the way is found under Adding or Editing a Forum.

 

[peter grimes]

I checked out the manual pages for version 3.8.2 - much more fleshed out. Thanks for the details!

EDIT: where do we find the version of vBulletin the site is using?

 

[The_J]

When you log into the ModCP, then you'll see it at the login screen.
(many have it somewhere at the bottom, but in general it's said that it's saver to not have it displayed anywhere publically, to make the exploitation of possible security problems more difficult)

 

[peter grimes]

Thanks, point taken.
