excellent works like a charm on 4.0.4 many thanks

installed voted...

i didnt thought that the author of vb link verifier bot, has the same attitude of vbulletin developers...but its sad to say they do same things:
he dont pay attention to the customers
he dont help customer questions (customer section)
he dont pay attention to reports (of bugs, suggestions)

if you buy a mod...it means you really need it (all of us bought something to use..because we need it).

so..how can i be happy, if i dont have a reply of a bug reported 7 days ago?

worst at all..the bug still in last vb link verifier bot version (launched 1 day ago...6 days after my bug report).

the author...release versions of this mod not very soon...so, if you report a bug, it will be luckly fixed next 2 months...(if phpkd wants).

Also, 4 days ago i have asked 2 questions about certain configuration options of the mod on the customer support (i should have priority help)...but i dont have any reply. I have sended 1 private message to PHPKD (the author of the mod and the owner of this forum) with the links of my two question but he never replied to me (and he has logged with his account yesterday).
he dont help customer questions (customer section).

so, if you are going to buy a licence of any mod of PHPKD...think it very well
i dont want to waste my money...and i think you dont want too....

I have bought a life licence of vb verifier bot....so, im a customer of the ultimate version of this product. Thats the main reason for argue

edit: i have been talking with the author, he told me those were exceptionals days of "poor support" (i think he couldnt stablish a internet conection).
Also he was positive with my message, thats good.

is there a german translation?

Other screen shots can't be posted here due to their big size, but it's posted in our website.

any idea when the new version will come out? :)

To anyone, who dont sure about this hack:
BUY IT!

I buy it since a week and its amazing! Support after some hours, Developer help where he can and is very nice.

If you need this hack, buy it!

5 Stars to the hack+developer!

I noticed there was nothing happening, so I checked my scheduled tasks and tried to run now. It returned an error which stated that my license was not correct. How can that be?

Sneak peeks of the upcoming featured release -4.0.200- Pack #2

Well, today's screen shots will be one of the most important developments done for our product "vB Link Verifier Bot" version 4.0.200. It's 'Host Manager', with this managing area you've the ability to fully control all supported hosts, enable, disable, edit, delete and even add new ones. Not to mention how much hosts is currently supported by default! I'll not describe it in more details now, just give it a look yourself. It's one of the most great things in the upcoming featured release -if not the greatest- and I'm sure you'll like it.

still waiting... I have the ultimate.

When will 4.0.200, come out?

Installed the free product to test it out and it made a complete mess of my forum, it punished posts with perfectly fine links....

Pretty upset about the fail rate of this product while it's checking links,

***Use extreme caution while testing this for the first time***

On a side note I would like to purchase this because the concept is great, however I would like some answer as to why it's file rate is so high; and if this problem will be addressed soon.

I do not feel safe letting this Bot run on my server again until I get some answers ;)

ha...and if you buy the pro version of this mod, you cant see other customers questions.... so..the only communication is between you and the developer (bad support..he has replied my threads with up 4 to 5 weeks late)....

i dont recommend it.

Thanks for the heads up mate, I think we ( my forum staff and I ) will look for another solution with a more open system when it comes to support.

Ditto on the don't recommend, it made a complete mess of my forum as soon as the switch was flicked, it punished good posts and moved stuff all around; it's going to take days to sort it all out.

Keep clear, just a fair warning.

Need it for 4.1.x.regards and thanks.

Hi,

I download yesterday and install vB Link Verifier Bot ultimate, and I think I must buy it because is working very nice on 4.1.0.
But I find some no compatibility on plugin, maybe other plugin is problem I don't know...somebody can check.
Problem is with this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...231666&page=87
When I disabled vB Link Verifier Bot ultimate, post thank you hack working:confused:

Thanks for any help !

Problem solved !

Update for 4.1.2 please

To use this modification for vBulletin 4.1.1 and higher download my attachment.

The Ultimate version isn't working on my 4.1.2 board (even though the website says it is compatible).

I can't get authorized on the forum to post there either. Tried contacting through the contact form but haven't heard back in a couple days.

When I enable Ultimate on my board the whole thing goes to hell.

please add megashares.com to the commercial one so I can purchase it, thanks

How much memory does this take up on the server?

It doesn't take up all that much memory.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get this hack to work with "Thanks" hacks? I'm using the DBTech Advance Pro version and it'd be REALLY lame if I could use them both!

Thanks!

Hehehe i didn't download your attachment but i'm sure you only changed the "maxversion" in it ;)

Tho does it work with out a flaw in 4.1.x ??? I seen that they are up to 4.1.201 on their home page for this ULTIMATE plugin!!!

Need some updates guys!!

***BUMPED***

Well, it works in 4.1.3 and seems to be fine with the plugins.

lolll well guys from PHPKD, your bot is a total freak in the pan!!! On 19 PMs that it sent me, i would say that 96% of the links were good but it reported them to be dead!!!!

Not sure if this is a scam to tease us to by the Ultimate version or simply a wrong adjustment, but, not the most reliable plugin i ever use :(

Any chance of having info on this from you??????

RS, MU, Filesonic, fileserve, hotfile etc etc all comeback dead!!!!
