how can I have both? http://site and http://www.site ?

1. Like oly51 guessed. My left hand being faster then my right :/ Happens a lot to me

2. Try making the "Cookie Domain" blank in your vBulletin Options. (hmm not sure now if that won't have the opposite effect. Actually i hink how you got it now with a leading dot should be the best you can do)

[Lionel]

yup, I am going to the pain of correcting those links one by one

[Lionel]

This is getting really annoying. Vbulletin is being exploited. A member should not be able to involuntary transfer her junks in vbulletin posts

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Well it is hardly an exploit to be able to post links. You could put the url in the word censor.

[Lionel]

Those links are being posted without members knowing about it. Can't vbulletin post only what is in textarea, without having to grab the other junks? I have been removing links like crazy. The member does not even know about it. I put searchmiracle.com in my censor box, it still goes thru.

Yiou mean to tell me anyone can use a member and insert their things into my forums, and that is not being exploited?

You have hacked your board with the geek auto linker and now words are being linked..... Sounds like this is a bug or error coding on your part.


Doubt its a vbulletin exploit.

Doubt its a vbulletin exploit.

this is happening with only ONE member, so leave thegeek alone.

Like everyone at vb.com is saying, that member's PC is infected. All I am saying is that textarea should be protected from foreign elements in posts. If one smart searchmiracle.com can do it, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing sex links popup in kids forums. Then what do we say? That a member is infected?

We should start charging premium rates to view that members post. :lick:


If you really think that is the problem then tell him to clean his crap up or ban.

Sure I told her. I've got 7500+ members. I just hope that there won't be an epidemy some day.:nervous:

I also put searchmiracle on my censor list; but guess what. I am also using the warning hack, and everytime that poor girl posts, there is a warning issued for obscene words, and after x warnings, she got banned. I already lifted the ban manually twice.:ermm: She is not doing it on purpose. Some people are just not computer literate.
