Just responding to a prior comment from NTLDR.

I'll be releasing a public beta very soon, as I think its pretty much bug free and could be a while before I can vB3 hacking is allowed rather than the private selected beta I had previously planned

[NTLDR]

[high]vBindex v3.0.0 Beta 1 - Public Beta Released[/high]

I happy to announce the first release of vBindex for vBulletin 3. This is the first beta so it may still have some bugs left in it, however after testing both here and at hellsatans site most of the obvious bugs have been resolved. The templates remain largely un-phrased untill vBulletin have added all a majority of the phrases into the language system. Due to the restrictions on discussing vB3 hacks and Addons here at vB.org, vBindex 3.0.0 Support will only be given over at Core Forums when you have PM'ed either myself or hellsatan your Core Forums username to us via the vB.org PM System. vBindex 2.x support will remain in this thread.

I'm confused how/where vBindex 3 can be downloaded from? It has code and it says to download I have to enter a forum password, but where??

[cscgal]

Thanks, I figured it out already

[groovesalad]

I installed vbindex using the instructions. Everything seems to be working correctly, but when I post something in the News section, only the subject line and the avatar show up and the post doesn't. Any ideas?

[NTLDR]

You need to run the update counters option for vBindex as per the install instructions.

[groovesalad]

The install instructions listed for download here don't say anything about updating counters. Thank you, however, for you help on this NTLDR....as always, you're the man!

[groovesalad]

Also, do I need to update the counters every time I make an announcement in the news section?
