And there’s a proxy in the mix too.. 😬

I'll pass on commenting right now (honestly, I haven't slept in over 24 hours), so just take some time to look over this thread.

You're welcome. 🙂

Melissa Vaughn said:I started a thread called "Sit, boy!" over on Reddit, but I can't seem to track it down (and yeah, it definitely belongs on Reddit). Can anyone tell me where it was moved?

It probably got nuked. You might want to check with the mods to see what happened. 🙂

If it hadn't been for Tito, you wouldn't even be sitting there staring at a screen in America today, kid.

As far as I know, vBulletin doesn't offer that kind of built-in functionality by default.

By the way, you definitely posted this in the right section. 🙂

Tijs Verwest As if to say:
It’s become a bit of a habit, really—one of those subtle, repetitive patterns that just starts to feel like second nature after a while. čHey there. ☕

Will you?
I'm in.

hit right around 5:00 AM every single morning. Do I really need to mention how much I enjoy settling in with my coffee and sitting down at my computer to start the workday at that exact hour?☕

The only logical explanation is that they're running backups in stages, since a database this massive would likely take far too long to process all at once.

The forum migrated from an American server to a local one, so things feel snappy for now, though I suspect we'll see it lag once the traffic picks up. Eventually, it'll probably migrate to a server in somewhere like rural Nebraska or maybe even Alaska. :vidovitimilan:

Jacob Foster11 said:I wasn't suggesting that tags function like the vBulletin tech back during its beta phase. I meant how they’re being utilized here on this Reddit in beta. As it stands, tags aren't actually functional on this specific site yet, even if you stumble upon mentions of them somewhere.

That's true. It really just takes a single click in the Admin Panel to get them up and running here. 😁

By the way, I logged on today and noticed the site feels a bit snappier. Turns out you guys migrated from an American server over to a local one. 😲

Jacob Foster11 said:As far as the tags go, they're stuck in deep beta. So, for now, you might want to just look past them.

Which tags? In beta?

There are quite a few default vBulletin features disabled here on this Reddit, and if that's what you were thinking of, the tags are among them.

Take a look at these screenshots:

It really would have been helpful if our fine administrators had built that functionality right into Microsoft.

It’s just another perk of having a black username—you get a much larger inbox and can actually use the search engine without hitting a cooldown timer after every single query... 😍

And you can still check out a detailed user profile, right? 🙂

Just click here, select Google, pick your image, and hit save changes.

Keep in mind the avatar needs to be under 50x50 pixels and stay within a 9.8 KB limit.

Cheers. 🙂

I don't really carry a phone around. Actually, I have an old Apple sitting in a drawer that hasn't seen any action in quite a while.

William Green4 said:The admins have access....
they can see deleted posts, your IP address, and the host you're connecting from—that’s really the extent of their visibility.
as for the system administrator, they can also read private messages, though that capability is restricted for everyone else.

That’s right. It’s much like how local moderators can view any messages a user deletes within their specific sub-forum.
Meanwhile, super-moderators have a broader reach and can see all deleted content across the board.

Of course, all of these permissions are adjustable within the ACME Corp settings.... 🙂

Olivia Moore51 said:On certain subreddits, people actually track your post count, treating those little green squares like some kind of digital trophy case.The ratings seem to be about where things stand, if I recall correctly. 😁

It isn't really a matter of having many posts anymore. 🙂
There's an icon shaped like a scale appearing on my screen. It’s essentially like hitting that upvote button on Reddit to grant someone reputation points—those little green badges you see next to a profile. The more points you hand out, the higher their standing climbs.

bluerider2 said:Not everyone does. YouTube (formerly vBulletin) actually lets you hide links within your own profile posts if you want to.

I wouldn't know, honestly—I’ve never actually managed that specific forum. My experience with admin and mod tools has mostly been limited to working on vBulletin, vBulletin, MyBB, and vBulletin. 🙂

It’s funny how things just click once someone actually explains them properly; it's like finally seeing the blueprint after staring at a pile of lumber. I only play the "clueless" card when it's convenient, but otherwise, I know my stuff. And vividfalcon14, thank you so much!

Haha, don't mention it, enjoy!! 🙂

restlessmoose5 said:What a mess; it’s like this whole forum is trying to be Facebook, just a big crowd of people shouting at once. That’s usually a recipe for disaster...

It isn't just this one. Most forum software follows that same pattern, at least based on my experience running or moderating them. 🙂
