Well, some noticed that a new discussion about our forum (not only) began just there : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76212

I won't discuss about author permission and so on, as it was already done many times before.

As we are not official, and I'm not complaining about that, we tried to find a way to make the difference between licenced members and users of pirated version. We are tired of that bunch of guys asking where they could download vb ...

The system is quite easy to use. When members try to download our french language version (which can also be downloaded on vbulletin.com), a error message ask them to go to a particular post on vbulletin.org (with the agreement of Xenon) and click on a link which is in a code area (only viewable by licence owners).

The link redirects them to a script on our forums which checks the HTTP_REFERER which must be the post url given above. If so, they can download the language file. The HTTP_REFERER prevents people having acces to our translation without going on vbulletin.org before. It's not 100% secure but I think it could be improved.

That's why I made this thread. To have your opinion about this system and have some ideas to improve it

.

Thank you

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
