This is what I have asked for in this past. People have claimed it does this now, but it does not, unless mine just isn't working right.

Like you, I have people who come, register, and completely fill out their profiles and signatures and never return. Sad thing is, I know they are REAL people, but still.

If you want to control profile spam, then setup access level for no sig until
they reach a certain post level, then their rights will be restored.

anyway...I do not understand where to edit the rules?

I click on manage rules, and I am taken to a page full of smilely faces....

You have to enable the product first, then you can edit it. The url goes to the smileys when the product is disabled.

It's not possible to click the Submit button after reading the rules.. how can I resolve this?

yeah .

installed and tagged

I still have the same issue. It seems that adding a carriage return/hard return after "Rules Accepted:" might fix the problem. It seems to just be the date format used in our case is much longer than just numbers (December 24th 2010 as opposed to 12-24-2010 for example)

I didn't understand, owlbill... do you know a way to fix that issue? 'Cuz I have the same... D':

I am trying to fix it. I am still very new at this and by no means am I a programmer.

But I try.......

+1

I would also like it if you could choose what rules show on which forums. We have some private forums I'd like to display special rules for without showing the General Rules again.

My temporary fix is to edit the XML file included with this modification.

On line 1160 there will be text --> style="white-space:nowrap"

Change nowrap to wrap and it works. Not the way I want with the entire date on a new line but I am working on that still.

After our upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 (and 4.1.1) this mod is simply showing a blank page. Is this an known issue or is something horribly broken?

Since its a full upgrade, all .php files are totally new and fresh (no "hacks" etc.). So i'm not sure where the error lies.

(This is the same for all addons other VSa addons that use misc.php)

works on 4.1.1 so try uninstalling and reinstall....

what i want to know is can this do one type of rule settings like veiw,post...for one thread...
then in another thread you can have it set to only post.

Installed & unstalled:down:

Hi there, I figured an issue and I think it's caused by this mod: when the mod is enabled the feature "Mark This Forum Read" inside of forums is not working properly. Which means when you click on Mark This Forum Read in the Thread Tools it's not marking the threads of the according forum as read. Only when you leave the forum and re-enter they are appearing as read.

When I disable the mod everything works fine. Do you have any ideas what the reason could be and how to fix it?

Thankyou very much!

Awesome mod, quick install.

Thank you.

Marked as installed.

Even after uninstalling the mod on the bottom of all pages is a link to the misc.php?vsa_rules page. Also the terms of service link is still pointing to that link.

How can I really revert this so that everything is pointing again to the normal TOS?

I have one problem. During registration user accepts a "General Rules", right? Especially, if you have an option "Registration Rules Options - Replace with General Forum Rules". Ok, but after registration user still have "Forum Rules NOT accepted" if profile and therefore must accept the General Rules once more. Is that a bug? How can I make "accepting Registration Rules = accepting General Rules"? Please please please answer asap ..

Hello, will it work on VB 4.1.3? Now I am running VB 4.0.3 and I am willing to upgrade to 4.1.3.

I am running the 5.0.1 version. When should I upgrade this plugin to 5.0.2? Now or when I will have 4.1.3 already installed?

Thanks

I just got a quaranteene warning about this addon but it doesnt seem to be in the graveyard, what gives?

It means you might want to disable it or uninstall it for the time being. Read this thread - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ne-please-help

It will tell you about it

Valter has posted here to confirm a fix has been issued for those who haven't been following the progress in the thread. I assume the new fixed version is 5.0.3

It means its already been fixed and restored.

Oh man, totally locked out of my website. Having to restore a recent backup. It's pretty messy!

EDIT: Totally should have read and listened to that email about disabling this plug in.

The latest version may still contain an issue. Or it may be unrelated to this hack. People are still getting hacked.

I simply disabled it, see what happens now I guess.

Please let us know if you still get hacked or not, after you have deactivated this addon.

You don't need to do a restore of the database, just us the tools.php file and instructions and you should be able to turn back on the forum and also reset your admin as well. That is what I did. There is a new user there with super admin privileges that you need to delete which is teamadimus all other fields are empty. I am going through restoring the titles manually and checking that they are all correctly set as well, very time consuming but I only have 600 users. Also I don't know the SQL terminology well enough to do it in a command line in myphpadmin.

I was hacked about 5 days ago. Lost everything on my site except my members and posts.

*** I'm in no way saying this was the why I was hacked!!! ( PM for details of the redirect setup if you want ), I honestly don't know what happened, just thought it was interesting.***

Check admincp, modcp and your home index.php and index.html files

Got you too I hear snoopytas.

USERS WITH AFFECTED FORUMS:

1) Make a backup of your database (yes even post-hacked copy)
2) Goto ACP - Usergroup Manager - select each usergroup
3) For each, find 'General Settings' - 'Can Use Custom Title' set to No.
4) Goto your cpanel/web hosting control panel, access phpMyAdmin
5) Select (click) your database for your vB4 forum on the left column
6) On the right side of the page, choose the top tab - 'SQL', a large empty text box should appear
7) Paste the following into the box:

Hit the Go button.
8) It should say following xxx number of tables affected.. this should match to the number of users (approximately, some aren't affected)
9) Go back to AdminCP - Maintenance - Update Counters
10) Hit 'Rebuild User Titles & Ranks'
11) OPTIONAL - Go back to Maintenance option group on left, hit 'Repair & Optimize'
12) Select 'Check All' in upper right of list of entries
13) Scroll down, check both 'Optimize & Repair', hit OK

PM for any questions

strange, such a good mod, but why was this modification sent to graveyard?

because it has an exploit to take out your WHOLE forum and the creator is no where to be seen to fix it yet.

As I said in the other thread you posted this in....

Pretty sure he sleeps and has a life too.....

He was on earlier today btw

That little bug was a bit more than I would have appreciated. Made me a lot of additional work. I won't install anymore Modifications from you until I can be sure there isn't something like this in again.

I always appreciated your mods, you had a few really great ones. But now I am rather careful. :(

Valter, thanks for the fix!!!

Hey I've got a little problem. After installing this I can't use the Rules dropdown selector anymore. I can use it, but no matter which set of rules I select it takes me to my homepage.

Any ideas?
