Hi,
When I read in forums "troubleshooting", "how to"... I noted that users often do forget (me included) to input which version of vB they run, which version of php and MySql they run..., and sometimes even link to their forums.
Perhaps it wouldn't be bad idea to set in those forums by default additional boxes in editor which would remind by default, that we are to put those data too.
This would save a lot of posts and threads would be cleaner. For example:
---OLD---
A User: How do I this and that, I can't do this.
B vBulletin Staff: Which version of forum are you runing?
A User: 3.6.7
B vBulletin Staff: Try this and that.
A User: It's not working, it gives me MySql error.
B vBulletin Staff: Which version of MySql are you runing?
A User: 4.0
B vBulletin Staff: It doesnt work on 4.0, try upgrade to 5.0
---END---
---NEW---
A User: How do I this and that, I can't do this.
B vBulletin Staff: Upgrade MySql on 5.0 first then try this and that.
---END---
