its a known issue with the new vBulletin upgrade, and its being worked on, but now there are different Categories and evrything was moved around, as the need arises, we can create more :grinning2:

[SciLog1c]

U see, its above the letters "Goa", for exapmle, [GoaHead? Hat]

I thought that some kind of picture has to be located there, or smth like that

 

[t4e]

My friend said, that he cant enter the forums after registeration procedure

message with "u have not enough rights" appears
or smth like that
he doesnt know english, just wanted to say "hi"
its not so important, but I think this thing should be edited

And every new user's acc needs manual activation?
I was talking exactly about that, this option can "fright off" new users, cuz its very annoying to wait
imho




ps
Volodya or Vladimir, smth like that, actually I dont know, will ask tomorrow

activation its been in place all along, thru e-mail


the manual activation is an emergency measure put in place temporarily, but many forums have it as a permanent setting in an effort to fight off spammers :smile:

 

[SciLog1c]

I havent noticed a lot of here

Sorry then

ahhhh VBulletin turning more into myspace only without the functionality it seems. The forums were a good niché for them to follow in but I guess they just got wild with the social networking craze that seems to be sweeping the net at the moment.

(sigh) they should just knock it back to core code, be a lot more easy and user friendly.

 

[dan]

forum styles update done...

any obvious things you might find that are not showing up correctly please reply back with a description so I could fix it

thank you all
