  • 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 post_controls_divider_color};
        margin-top: 0px;
        padding-top: 15px;
    }
    If signatures are NOT SHOWING AT ALL under your posts, check this setting:

    AdminCP > Settings > Options > Topic Display Options (showthread) > Post Signature Inline

    Make sure this option is set to "Yes", if not, change it and save.

  • 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...

  • Using User Ranks
    by Wayne Luke

    User ranks allow the administrator to set up image and HTML rewards for their users once they reach specific goals. In versions before vBulletin Connect 5.7.1, ranks could only be triggered by the number of posts and the usergroups assigned to the user. In vBulletin Connect 5.7.1, User Ranks have been expanded to allow more flexibility in creating individual ranks. Now you can build combinations of different criteria to create unique ranks for your site.

    ​ Ranks can be created using th...
