OK, whenever I log on, it just goes right back to the login page, even after saying "thank you for logging in"
I can do this an unlimited amount of times too
I can't login from the homepage up in the corner beacuse it tells me that the admin needs to add my domain or something to allow this
I can only get to the login if I click to quote someone or reply

I dunno, sometimes it works, but more 9 times out of 10 it doesnt.

Everything is fine on my end, I've checked all my settings.

Oh, and it acts like this no matter where I login in from, home, school, work, etc.

We know about the login issue from the home page, but once you are in the forums, you should be able to log in no problem. Just put in username & password, and check 'remember me'.

Are you going to dsmstyle.com or mitsustyle.com ?

NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE · 07-18-2007

I go to dsmstyle.com, and I'm guessing I should be going to Mitsustyle.com, right?

**scheides** · 07-18-2007

Yes, that's probably part of the problem.

So why is my avatar small?

**scheides** · 07-18-2007

Reformat it to fit correctly.

Tried. It says in the upload screen that I can only use a 50X50 pixel pic. How is it some people get the bigger pics, but I'm stuck with crappy small ones haha?

How about making the search so you can use 3 letter words? There are a lot of them that would be helpful, E85, Evo, etc.

Good idea! I lowered it to 3. I can do 2 as well, if someone can think of a good reason why?

Isn't that a change in the MySQL database settings for full-text searches? Does that require you to rebuild the indexes or is it automatic?

If you lower it to 2 the index will get a lot larger, probably not necessary.

Edit: After one search it's very apparent, this is only going to take effect on new posts unless you manually tell it to rebuild the search indexes.

Also, please automatically include a star after each search word. Otherwise I have to remember to type in turbo* oxygen* in my searches if I wanted to find posts with turbos and some word form of oxygen. It looks like it's already splitting up the search by words so it shouldn't be too hard to add them: ... AGAINST ('+$word1* +$word2* ...' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ...

Hit me up with a link or two on this info, mostly because I can't be bothered to search myself.

**asshanson** · 09-26-2007

Edit: guess I misunderstood.

To rebuild an index: REPAIR TABLE tbl_name QUICK;
You'll have to do this for every table with a full-text index that you're searching.

As for adding a * to searches, you'll have to look at vBulletin code to see wherever it's doing its searches. Look for "in boolean mode" or something like that. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...t-boolean.html for the SQL syntax for MySQL.

He wasn't mad at you, he just wants you to send a link because he's lazy. You were helpful, I understood, and I sock at computer language.

And here's a good reason not to include two letter words: FU !

**asshanson** · 09-26-2007

I guess first I should have asked, are you using the default vBulletin search or the MySQL built-in full text searches? If you're using vBulletin search engine I have no idea how to make the changes.

Anyone else seeing the weird stripe across the top in Firefox? Inbetween the nav menu and the forum - subforum listings

I see a big open area, and I didn't touch anything, I swear.

**JET** · 10-07-2007

It started doing it yesterday, the ads are messed up. Also I have to hit back twice to go back instead of once, this is IE7.

**scheides** · 10-08-2007

There was a google ads reference in there for some reason, like the template reverted to an old or something. Might have been something non-working when the ads were setup, and now it started working, or vice-versa. Oh well, all better now!

The main forums page is about 3 screens wide in Safari. Just started doing it today. It loads normal at first, then it seems like it loads something at the bottom and it goes super wide. Could be the shoutbox?
