Editing default vB redirects

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Default vBulletin is to “Leave permanent redirect” when moving and merging threads. If you want something different as default, you’ll have to edit four templates.
The easiest way to get to these four templates is to open admincp > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates and search for:
leave_permanent_redirect
The following templates should be returned.

My only suggestion would be to have authors create a validator.
If they’re making plug-ins for ease of use and for those who are technologically challenged, it would stand to reason that the plug-in should validate that it is compatible with the version of WordPress you’re installing something in.
Is the suggestion based […]

use them Bookmarks!

Friday, January 28th, 2005

I love Alert Bookmarks
It is a must have tool for me.
I have ~2,000 bookmarks stored. Without this tool, I’d never have a bookmark. They were always too hard to configure and manage. Nothing like the one click storing feature Alert offers.
