Hello,

I want to add some prefix to one forum but i have a large list with more than 1000 prefix, is there any way to add them all at once?

Bcos creating prefix one by one will take my entire life :(

So if anyone can help me out it will be very nice.

Thanks in advance

If they're assigned to a group, you can assign that group to any forum.

There is no way to do that in vbulletin. You might be able to do it by importing data directly into the database, but there are multiple tables involved, so it's a little tricky. The best way would probably be to write a php script to import them from a file, but if you don't know php you'd probably have to pay someone to do that for you.

ETA: I don't remember ever seeing a mod to do this, but that doesn't mean there isn't one, so you might want to search the mods if you haven't already.

TBH, I can not see a user scrolling through a thousand prefixes to find the correct one. That just seems silly to me.

In this site http://postimg.org/image/a0vrh0phj/ people do it without any problem to find the correct one :) so i don't know why you think this is stupid...

I did not say stupid, I said silly. That is because why would I as a user want to scroll through a thousand lines, to find a prefix. If I had to do that I would never post. :)
