I apologize for not being around to help these last few days. My normal job is a club promoter and this weekend was our 2 year anniversary event, and one of the biggest we've done yet. Things were extremely busy around here so I haven't had much time to check vb.org... Plus I kinda had to take a day to relax and recover from the weekend. Now I'll see if I can help with some of the questions.
Ranger - Open your myvbindex.php file and look for:
PHP Code:
$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user');
Replace that with:
PHP Code:
$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user WHERE usergroupid!=3');
Papa - Is it looking for the member.php file in the wrong directory and resulting in a blank page when you first try to go to the password protected page, or is it just redirecting you to the member.php file after you log in from one of those pages?
Matrix - Was the latest threads part working before and suddenly stopped, or has it not ever worked? Have you modified your myvbindex file at all? If so, try uploading a fresh version and name it something other than what the current file is called and see if it works on that one. You could also try checking your index_threadbit template and make sure it's not blank, and your index template to make sure the $threadbits variable is in there right below the header part.
DarkDraco - I'm assuming you mean a hack to keep the index page open if the forums are closed. If so, sorry but I haven't had time to work on that yet.
