    I stay surprised, because I believe in the good in everyone. And if Mark sees my post as an attack, he is mistaken. It is an expansion of the lesson. If he doesn't learn from his mistakes, that is his problem, but I'll always be surprised at such actions, because I simply expect a whole lot more from him (and anyone else) and always will.

    You can, but you need two blunt bricks on their bollocks
    At worst, you stop them reproducing more stupid

    Looking over vb com and org, both have become ghost towns
    Very little discussion on any of the forum software they make

    As for what Im seeing with vb5, it looks more like a six month old beta and not a two year old gold release

    Something needs to happen with the software to get it back on track quick

    Not only was he was given the wrong answer, it looks like it took a week to get any answer at all.

    Because there is little questions asked over at vB.com a debate was held by the three amigos as to what would be the best response to the question and who should reply, hence the five days ..

    Thread was not in that forum at the time I replied to it,because I was going down the vB5 support forum tending to any unanswered requests. It seems it has been subsequently moved into the right place but my answer was correct based on where it was at the time.

    Of course, the abuse and insults from certain people are entirely to be expected, and are entirely ignored.

    As for Cloud upgrades to 5.1.1, they're being done at the moment. It takes several days to do them all.

    Abuse and insults? I merely pointed out that the request for help went unanswered for a week and when it did get answered the answer was wrong. How is that abuse or insulting? It's a statement of fact, nothing more.

    Im not brown nosing, but I honestly like the look and feel of vb5
    The new page builder feature is nice
    Plus, if and when they get it all working as it should, it will be value for money
    Those that paid two years ago wont agree with that part

    Head over to http://vbulletin.admin-talk.com and register your username from here. After post a request to access the admincp. You'll get to mess with it and once you do I would bet your opinion changes.

    Thanks for that offer Bob.
    Being a new member on here, I wanted to settle in more first and not rock the boat, I tried to register the vbulletin test site the other day, but you have turned off registrations or the feature is broke :censored:
    If you can set up an account with my user name and email from here, then either pm me a password or I can reset it via email.
    It would be nice to have another look around the admin area and have another play with vb5 to see what it can do

    The rss feeds feature does work on sites, but I believe its traffic related to activate it or something daft
    It never worked on the vb three day trial I had though
    I found a non vb hosted site earlier with it working

    The newest bug with vb, seems to be the unwanted emails people keep getting
    A lot of the forums that have updated to 5.1.1 have mention of it

    As the saying used to go in the early days of vb4, its not a bug, its a feature

    RSS Feed being active only based on amount of traffic, that's a new one?

    Its one of those daft things you read somewhere and it stuck in my mind
    I looked at the cron jobs to see if there was any task there that set them off
    Just went through my days activity to see if I could remember which site I had seen the rss feeds working on
    Not many sites seem to have the feature active

    I personally use rss feeds for feeding twitter accounts

    Another tip, don't click on new topics, click on todays posts, to see whats new :censored:

    Found the site where I had seen some working
    Lets call it Russian Roulette RSS feeds
    https://www.ridgidforum.com/

    The working ones seem to be hit and miss

    Every RSS Feed I clicked then on that Russian site showed nothing, but should have looking at the 1000's of topics listed on the boards I clicked RSS for.

    Are we still talking about you calling people trolls with no proof? This is abuse and insults.

    OK, time to come clean Mark B. Tell us the whole truth now, you are employed by IB to act the clown to distract us all from the total fail that VB is. I must say you do it very well.

    The feeds that I checked were forum level and not on single threads
    Some of the forums had working feeds, with limited content, others showed blank pages
