    vB5 How To: Add a signature divider

    AS OF 5.1.3 THIS IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, SIGS HAVE A DIVIDING LINE BY DEFAULT

    By default, vB5's signatures do not have a dividing line to separate them from the post they are under.

    On longer posts this can make it difficult for users to distinguish where the post ends and the signature starts.

    To add a dividing line that matches the general styling, add this to the template css_additional.css:
    Code:
    .post-signature {
    border-top: 1px dotted {vb:stylevar
    ...

    vB5 How To: Add forum names into Today's Posts / New Topics

    One major thing that has been missing in vB5, has been the name of the forum in the Today's Posts / New Posts results. You are told the name of the topic, who started it, when it was started, who made the most recent post, etc...but you are not told what forum it's in.

    For many, this is essential, as they only want to read threads in forums they are interested in.

    Well, here's how to add this back in.

    First, add this to the template css_additional.css

    vB5 How To: Allow pinch and zoom on mobile devices

    To make the vB5 default style "zoomable" on mobile devices:

    Find this in the header template:
    Code:
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
    Change the "maximum-scale" value to a higher number, such as 3:
    Code:
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=3" />

    What is Site Builder

    One of the major features in vBulletin 5 is a feature called Site Builder. It allows you to control the configuration of each individual page on your site. You can create custom layouts for forums, the front page, blogs, etc... There are a few limitations but it gives you a lot of freedom. You can have all forums use one layout or make individual layouts for each one. If an ad unit isn't working in one location just drag and drop it into a new location. Need to make a new Forum quickly? You can...

    Recovering App Crash Reports

These crash reports will be located within your Apple App Store or Android Marketplace developer's sites. Below, we have outlined the steps to recover these. Once recovered, you will need to either copy and paste them into the JIRA issue report as a comment or attach the resulting file to the JIRA Issue Report.

    (vBulletin 6+) This script will handle running the vbulletin offline events (Such as sending notifications for a post). This avoids having users trigger AJAX calls when hitting the site.

  • Changing your site's favicon
    by Wayne Luke
    The favicon allows you to extend your brand identity to the browser tab. This can often be the only thing a user sees if they have many tabs open. The favicon is a special 16 X 16 icon that the browser automatically looks for in the root directory of your site. vBulletin also ships with one in its root directory. If vBulletin is installed in the root directory of your site, you can overwrite the provided icon to change it for your users. However, you will need to remember to do this with every version...
