    Jmet: I've increased custom user title length to 50 characters (this is a global change, but since only moderators can change their own titles, it doesn't really matter).

    I'm not sure what you mean, since I don't use PM. I can actually turn off message tracking (so no receipts can be sent/received) for all registered users, which would get rid of the confirmation popups.

    Regarding the search problem: They were out of memory errors because I've only set PHP to use 8 MB per script, and because so many posts have the word "dvd" in them, the script runs out of memory (the minimum word length is 3, so 3 letter words are acceptable for searching purposes). I've increased the memory limit so it should be better now.

    About the "Forums Forums": This should be fixed now (no more double "Forums"). Apparently, vBulletin insists that you don't have the word "Forums" already in the title of the forum.

    And yes, the old forum did process attachments for Nero serials, but I forgot to do it for the new forum. It's fixed as well.

        Must the file name be so long - supermoderator23aj - can you just upload it as 'X'?

        Here is a shorter version - http://img31.echo.cx/img31/8286/x0hm.gif

        An even shorter version and better - http://tinypic.com/a49sh

          in HTML, the code is long. If I had login privileges to the server of dd forums, i could just upload it directly to the server. I could make it alot shorter. Instead I have to link to it using the IMG tags.

            Is 150 characters enough? For the picture, make sure it isn't too big, as otherwise it will spoil the formatting of the pages.

              What this!!!

              Now I know what blue was pointing to:
              Inconvenient thingy though admin: Read receipt confirmation popup on PMs - can we have a setting that is global for this? And a checkbox if you want to change the global setting for the particular PM?
              If I want to send a PM and have written it and want to send it - it asks me if I want to have a read receipt confirmation. Two options - Yes and cancel. If I hit cancel it sends my PM without the read receipt confirmation. It must be this that blue is talking about.

              But it don't disturb me.

                vBulletin 3.5 has a checkbox instead of a popup, but it's still in beta at the moment. Upgrading from 3.0.x to 3.5 shouldn't be as hard as upgrading from 2.x to 3.x, so once it goes into release, I'll install it and the popup will be gone.

                  I couldnt make it work using the < img > tag, the [ IMG ] tag, or just the plain URL.

                    You have to use HTML only. Post the code here, maybe there is something wrong with it.

                        Nice migsy!

                        @admin - I just think that every user should have the ability to set his preferences whether he wants read receipts or not. For those that don't (except occasionally), they can set this preference and on those occasions where they do, they can tick a "read receipt" box, say.

                        Also, if you have a list of PMs and you want to delete them, you need to highlight the PMs (one-click like before, so OK), but instead of there being a "Delete" button, you need to go to the "Move to" box and select "Delete" and then click on "Go". Yecch! I would certainly like simply to single-click on a Delete button in the PMs. What do others think? Is this possible?

                        Thanks a bunch.

                        Regards

                              vBulletin 3.5 does have the check box (see the attached image), but I don't think there is an user selectable option to determine whether this checkbox should be selected or deselected by default (there may be a global one, or such an option for an entire usergroup). This change would require quite a bit of modification to the private message functions. There might already be a unofficial hack for this, but I don't want to make too many changes now that I know how hard it is to upgrade from them

                              As for the other suggestion, it sounds reasonable, but it would mean a lot of work (modifying every style, creating a "delete" button for each style, etc...), and I would have to do it all over again once the next version comes out. You should really pop by the vBulletin forums (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/) and post your suggestions there, because they do take into account all the suggestions, so you might see these changes being implemented for real in the upcoming version.
