I just upgraded from 4.0.8 to 4.1.2 and lost all my changes.
Please help me with some simple ones:
1. How do I change the logo link so that it goes to the CMS home page instead of the forum home page? (all the other answers I've seen are now obselete due to programming changes for 4.1.2)
ACP>Styles and Templates>Style Manager>Site Name / URL / Contact details is confusing. Forum URL / Use Forum URL as base path / Forum Component URL / Home ?????!!!!!!!!!!
Surely my home URL is all that's required. And when people type my website, I want it to finish in 'dot com' - not a file name ending in 'dot php'. It looks messy.
If I set my Forum URL to www.example.com/forum.php, the logo links to www.example.com/forum.php/forum.php. If I then set my Home URL to www.example.com, the entire website does not parse - it is text only. I'm seriously lost, but I'm sure the answer lies in editing the Stylevars header code. By the way, are backups made of the previous codes so I can reverse my changes (extremely vital)?
2. What is the difference between a blog and a user-locked thread? Are blogs necessary or will they just convolute the site?
3. Are vbulletin staff slack with words or are they precise? It will change all my planning depending on the answer. For example, when they say the word 'forum' do they mean 'website'? Vbulletin is 50% CMS now, but maybe old vocabulary habits die hard. I urgently need to know.
Thanks,
Paul
