I am curious how long it takes to rebuild search index through the browser back-end or if they are gonna have some elite .sh script :)
ps
I am pretty sure advertising your services isn't allowed on these forums, and it wouldn't suprise me if that also counts for your signature.

LOL
The usual response to being 'asked nicely' is to go offline, pretend you didn't see the 'asking nicely', and leave your spam up till someone does something about it.

I was just wondering whats wrong with the advertising?
As far as I can tell it perfectly legal as long as he isnt in the Hosting Forum-
Hosting Forum
The hosting forum is for discussion of hosts and hosting options for vBulletin customers. Advertising of hosting services is not allowed.Other than that, I dont see any rules saying that this sort of thing isnt allowed.

Advertising and spam in general is not allowed.

Its a sig.... not a thread about his services...
Many other people advertise scripts that they sell in their sigs too which I find to be nice cuz I might now have known about them if they werent there.

Well, you got me.... although that should be posted in the forum rules like that.
I guess there will be lots of people who need to change their sigs.... and Im sure that you (vBR) will be there to police this forum.

Wow :)
Looks superb, Wayne!
Good to see that SitePoint didn't take the graphical-intense road that some of the other popular vBulletin boards have taken!
:: erm... include thumbs up smilie here :: :D

Well hopefully everyone is happy, I changed my sig, it is only two lines, no advertising prices and only a slogan.

I like the new design, and the way the articles are organized now.

Thanks to all the comments on the new design... Still some things to fix but I will get those later. Time to open a Guiness and relax after a marathon 5 hours and 45 minute upgrade and bug-squashing episode.

yep floris there is a php shell script that can be used to rebuild the search index, i managed to rebuild the index much quicker, but i'm going to start dabbling in the MySQL C interface :)

The Private Beta tester emails have been sent to the lucky 20 people, we will be waiting for most of them to reply before testing procedes.

Either my e-mail server is slow, or I didn't get picked. #2 is the most likely answer ;)
