One of vBulletin’s strengths is its enormous amount of user-configurable options. Most board-wide settings can be controlled through this section. To edit these options, go to
vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options (the latter is a subgroup of the former).
When you first enter this section, you will be presented with a screen that allows you to select what settings you wish to display. The select box will look one of two ways:
| Unexpanded
This is the default view. It will display each setting group. To display a group, double click its name or select it and click [Edit Settings]. If you wish to display all settings, select [Show All Settings]. |
| Expanded
To use this view, click [Expand Setting Groups] on the left-hand side of the screen. This view will display each setting within a group. To display a setting, double click its name or select it and click [Edit Settings]. |
Once you have selected a setting or setting group, the individual options will be displayed:
On the left, you will see the name and a description of each setting. If you are still unsure what a setting does, click the question mark icon all the way on the right for more information. In the center you will be able to select the value for each option. The type of each option varies; some are yes/no options while others are text areas.
Once you have changed the all the options you wish to change, click
[Save]. Changes will take effect immediately.
