ok, well first question.
Do you know what phpmyadmin is and do you have it?

If yes to both, then the instructions are pretty damn clear

2. in phpMyAdmin, select your vbulletin database, and locate the 'post' table.
the drop down on the left contains ur databases, select the one that contains the vb tables. then scroll down the right side to u see the 'Post' table and select 'Properties'.

3. skipped

4. click on the 'change' link in the 'pagetext' row to edit the datatype.
in the 'Field' column, find 'pagetext'. Under the 'Action' column for this field, click 'Change'

5. change the type of the 'pagetext' column from 'mediumtext' to 'text', and click 'save' - be patient this might take a while.
on this page under the 'Type' column it will say 'mediumtext' change that dropdown to 'text' then click 'save'. it will take time depending on how many posts you have

6. click on 'fulltext' in the 'pagetext' row to create a fulltext index of 'pagetext' - this might take a very long while.
i think that will bring you back to the page from step 2, if not, follow step 2 again. in the 'Field' column, find 'pagetext'. Under the 'Action' column for this field, click 'Fulltext'

7. click on 'fulltext' in the 'title' row to create a fulltext index of 'title'
i think that will bring you back to the page from step 2, if not, follow step 2 again. in the 'Field' column, find 'title'. Under the 'Action' column for this field, click 'Fulltext'

8. once the operation has completed, click on the 'operations' tab and optimize the table. - this might take a while.
at the top you will see a blue tab called 'operations', click it and then click 'Optimize table' at the bottom under 'Table maintenance'

that's it.
if you don't understand this, then you shouldn't be doing this hack. my 2cents.
