Q: When I do a hyperlink with the URL tag the URL appears as the title of the page I linked to, such as Dragonball Z GT instead of www DOT myfavoritegames DOT com ... is there a way to fix this?

A: When you go to post, uncheck the "Automatically retrieve titles from external links" box underneath where you type to post.

... That was worded badly, but, yeah.

Uh, I've got a problem regarding reps. Whenever I'm anti-repped, I'm supposed to get half the repper's rep-power points deducted from my rep points(whereas normal reps are proportional to the repper's PAWA), right? Well, one time the EXACT opposite happened to me. Ranny's anti-rep somehow got me down by five, and at one point, after Duo repped me, it was halved from 8(his rep power) to 4 +rep points. What's more, people seem awfully hellbent on repping me down to zero. I just received, like, 6 anti-reps over the past 2 or so days, and why is it that your repping is limited to 10 per day unless you're an admin? I mean, the whole point of a message board is to have civil discussions regarding a subject on an equal plane for each poster, and if admins can rep everyone as much as they want, it's just..not right, man. I've no problem with the fact that you can't rep people twice in succession, but the limit just has to go, in my opinion. I mean, I can respect the fact that you've come a long way if you've been made admin, but still.. (I've hit my limit for three days straight, and whenever the 24-hour thing is up, it shows up back again afterwards[for another 24 hours], like, 2 or 3 reps. WTF?)

Sorry you don't like the way the rep system works. I don't see anything wrong with admins having different rep abilities than regular users.

I don't have the time to dig into it, but even if there's a bug, your best hope is that it's fixed in the next version of vBulletin, which is due to be released very soon.

So this forum will be moving to the new version of vbulletin? Or does it change automatically?

When Ace downloads the new version you'll notice the changes. But it'll still be same old MFG, just with shiny new features.

Do you know any of these features, man?
