Fair enough and tbh I don't begrudge vb any ref fees but when I first started on adsense I got the referral from one of my members and he got $100 (or he said he did)

As Nex said, it's just a pr issue rather than vb becoming the great satan I've had a similar thing on other non forum sites with affilliate codes like affilliate.com&aff=999 and people removing the &aff=999 because they think it'll cost extra.

I just noticed that if you post a smilie in the social group posting it won't show up. I don't understand why vB did just create a new forum for social groups and link it somehow.

Here we go, with more templates changes. Just what I needed ><

Unfortunatly we need to manually remove AdSense data from your member account as Google never report back if disabled from their side. This was something that was never discovered during sandbox testing. So if you have entered your data and need to have it removed, please for now open a support ticket. I expect our developers will look into a solution for this somewhere in the near future. But i don't know if it is feasible or not.

I leave responding on vB.com to the vB.com staff.

@all

If you have concerns about the new AdSense integration option, then please use vBuletin.com to ask your questions. Staff at vB.org has no more information then a regular user of vBulletin and will not be able to answer any questions regarding this.

Also i don't expect real answers to these questions until this week. The release was done at the end of the week and the first questions regarding the AdSense integration came just before the weekend. Support staff has also not been briefed about the backgrounds of this new feature and are unable to give a definite answer to these questions. I expect more offficial communication and answers regarding the issues from our office early this week.

How many times have we heard over the last eight years, news on a Friday that's drowned out by news on Monday? Is IB a republican company from the US? Hmmm.

I would be for that, but not to help the stock market.

actually, this entire statement is false... the announcement came on thursday, at 8:30 am... and MY first question came 3 hours after -- ok, it was more a statement than a question...

that makes your evaluation of the week-end very large... lol (Brits may work from monday to wednesday after all, we don't know) ...

that's all... we wait for the guys who know why this crap was installed without the knowledge of the team itself.

Just keep hitting continue and it will finally upgrade to 3.8.0 Gold. It has to go through the upgrade in steps in case you have already upgraded to an intermediate version.
