Hello, I am going to build a forum, possibly with vBulletin - how much software knowledge is required? Can a newbie do this? Great forum, by the way. Thanks.

I have always left the default vBulletin emails that my forum sends out. (i.e. to activate a new account, inform a user of a new private message, etc.) However, I finally took the time to customize each e-mail - and I can't believe how much it's helped! The vBulletin forum …

How do you create custom pages like [url]http://www.daniweb.com/mediakit/[/url] that appear to be integrated with vBulletin? I'm fairly new to vBulletin and am currently migrating one of my websites from ASP to PHP. I can see some advantages to the integration, but I'm not sure how you accomplished it.

I run a music discussion board and could use a bit of technical assistance (installing/arranging) in regards to a portal (for vB). If anyone thinks they can help me out with that I'd be most appreciative. :) h

Is there a need to enable the forum archive on vBulletin forums? I am using mod_rewrite to rewrite all of the threads to have .html extensions anyways, so I am worried about duplicate content.

Hey dani, I notice that all of the links in these forums always open up a new window, is that a feature of vbulletin or is there someway I can declare that globally?

Every few months or so, I like to send out an e-bulletin to forum members. However, the vBulletin built-in script just isn't robust enough as it constantly will time out every few pages. I've also tried sending mail directly from Mirosoft Outlook, but the sheer volume of emails made that …

Well, we've upgraded to vBulletin 3 gold! However, while upgrading I accidently forgot to copy over avatars to the new system. Not to worry though! I'm currently working with my host to restore them. They should be back online within the next few days.
