    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I'm going to be increasing the photo size soon. But remotely hosted images still won't be a thing. (I honestly didn't like the upload here thing too, but after photobucket "kicked the bucket" I understand)

    That's a global setting that won't change. Reporting the post in question with the edits to be made is part of our (staff) job here. No problem at all.

    The 503 error serves another purpose. When someone is trying to exploit the site, getting 404 errors or vB related errors says the target is still exploitable. A 503 or page cannot be displayed can cause the attacker to assume the server is no longer functioning. They then have to use a...

    The points will expire, but the comments will remain. Only you and the staff can see the comments though.

    That's a function of xenforo, not vb. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    Ooops, let me see if I can address that now. I'm going to use you as a test subject. Please let me know if you're still seeing the ads.

    There's been several donations. Many of which were only people asking to donate to the site. I decided to grant them upgraded memberships based on their donations as well. (Extending many already upgraded members) As to your other question, this forum is for that actually...

    No problem at all, there's stuff I learn from time to time about the software too. (With a lot of teeth gnashing LOL.)

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    The locations are actually subtitles, not categories. Basically a form text to add in addition to the title. The classifieds previously had no sorting at all for location. I thought about making state sub-forums, but I knew the mess that'd get into. As a compromise we went down the state...

    Ads are automatically pruned once a week after 30 days of inactivity. I will have to review, but I believe we've got editing enabled in the classifieds. I think however the delete is a global thing. So if a thread lives outside the user ability to delete, it either needs to hit 30 days of...

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I could splinter the classified section with more sub-sections. But there's several issues, first being people won't post in the right forum. Second it will not really limit searches. And if it was branched out, people might put the wrong item in the wrong category, then when searching under...

    Funding for the certificate. I'll circle back around with Chris.

    I will see if I can move that around.

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I've had some discussion with staff about "issues" like this as well. The problem is the old adage "garbage in, garbage out". The search can only do as well as it can based on actual words. An example might be that I create a great thread on how to change the oil in a Deuce. But I misspell...

    Kind of a limitation to prevent the "chatter". As for the staff addressing post issues, well, that's our job. :)

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    You'd need to do a advanced search with vBulletin's search. (Which honestly isn't that great) The search window up top of any page is a google search. Google parses all elements including sigs. Just no way around that.

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I wish I could fill you in on the reason for that change. But postcount certainly had no bearing on the people that caused the change to happen (They had high post counts). I'm not sure I understand the TM upload comment though. The TM sections are locked down completely since they're a...
