Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Thread Display Options -> Show Similar Threads -> Yes

Then you neeed to update the Similar Threads counter.

[Jose Amaral Rego]

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Thread Display Options -> Show Similar Threads -> Yes

Admin CP >> vBulletin Options >>Message Searching Options-->Automatic Similar Thread Search : Yes

[mikecp421]

Odd, I seem to not able to find my counter @ all??

I only see Rebuild Similar Threads not similar threads counter

[Jose Amaral Rego]

Rebuild Similar Threads That is what you click on. I just did it and it shows all relevant posts.

vBulletin Option>>Message Searching Options>>Similar Threads Relevance Threshold---lower the number to 0.5 then raise it til only it shows the post you want but I think it is more complicated than that what I just said, but give it a try.

[mikecp421]

yea thats the one I did, maybe thats not right then?

[Jose Amaral Rego]

Sorry I made an edit & you must of read it after. Read my post above this one.
Make sure you rebuild after.

[mikecp421]

ok I am seeing the similar threads now but there is only 1 so I am increasing the number slowly, as this is what I understand you to say to do

It doesn't immediately show the affect, so I will have to wait it out even though I did the similar threads update

[Jose Amaral Rego]

The higher the number the more relevant to topic and less topic related but if you lower it the number the more relevant & less relevances topics are produce.
