What needs to be done if you want it only on pages where affiliate links exist - scan the links of every post on the given page (inside each post), and if affiliate links are found in any of them, display a message. So, if you have 10 posts per page, you need to run something like this on each...

Thanks much. Will check to see if this can work. We had about 10 years of vbulletin ported in before this, not sure if the Is_banned got applied to those members in the Banned Usergroup.

Anyone have a query that could prune the IP table selectively? Specifically - keep only IPs for those in Banned Usergroup (usergroup x) AND keep ALL IPs for the last 1 year. Truncate the rest. Our table is very very large, going back 17 years, but it's not needed for the most part. What is...

Thanks for the clarification!

Hi, couple questions. (I know you are away a bit). Can we apply wiki features to existing threads, and leave those threads in their existing sub-forums? Basically just looking to turn first post into a shared update area, but leave the threads and forum structure otherwise the same. Any ETA...

I know this is counter intuitive, but is there a way to call and display the full size image instead of the thumbnail? It's a unique situation and was just curious before I move forward with edits or development.

I can't say if it's me personally or not, but it seems similar to what the OP above is going through. I also believe, though not confirmed, that there is probably a human somewhere down the chain seeing failure reports, researching why, changing methods, and redeploying. I've done QnA, they...

Hi Sim, Thanks for the feedback. It is a spambot, I don't think it's a human doing each post. The spam is in Chinese. Blocked those characters, but spam check only works for first x posts. They've gotten around this by posting short english based posts with no real words or links at first...

I hear you, I'm just giving feedback that what is suggested doesn't work in this case. Our spammers are coming on, dropping x posts of Title: ASDF Content: FHGTY2 (etc) to hit our Maximum Messages to Check for Spam limit. Nothing to trigger spam rules. Once they hit our number to bypass...

I know this is an older thread, and I understand the suggestions on addressing. I want to clarify I am having the same exact issue. I would like to suggest an option to run the spam rules against new members for 24 hours from their first post. So a user registers, we run the rules against...

Request: url based choice for how items are fetched. That way we can share/use per forum as needed. mysite.com/forums/forum1.19/index.rss?&sort=threadcreatedate&link=firstpost mysite.com/forums/forum1.19/index.rss?&sort=lastpostdate&link=lastpost plus, any other variables you offer, though...

Going to bring this up again as well. Coming from vB recently and members are having some issues with search. Our community has been working a certain way for a while, which shows one specific method that search is interrupting their normal (15 year+) flow. Member posts a thread, lists items...

Just looking for the basic one above, but for bbcode rather than The youtube part of your regular expression above should be fine. Catches the most common: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXX Thanks for looking into it, appreciated.

Ahh cool. For some reason I was thinking way more complicated, like I had to make that available in there somehow first. Thanks again!
