Invisible mode

[Kirssstens]

I clicked "invisible mode" under User Cp edit options, so why do I show up as "currently viewing this thread"? Also my name appears when I view another's profile, is this supposed to happen under invisible mode?


Also, just to throw it out there, there is an active thread on ecig discussions called 'lr attys". When I was ordering yesterday, I used the search mode for lr atty threads and it did not come up, tho I knew it was there, just couldn't remember where.

thanks friend

The "Currently Viewing This Thread" is probably a add-on for vbulletin ECF added for the members benefit. Most add-ons have some sort of bug associated with them. Probably something you have to deal with.

The search bug might have been ECF admin re-indexing the search table. They have to do this from time to time to help speed searches up and keep the forums organized and running smooth.

I am in no way positive about any of these, its just my best guess. I know my way around running a vbulletin forum so I am pretty good at guessing though. It's alot more work behind the scenes than people know.

I believe that only you can see yourself on when youre in "invisible mode"

Only you can see that you're viewing this thread... and the mods.

When searching, search terms must be of a certain length or they are not searched upon. I don't know the minimum; however, I do know that two (2) letters, such as lr or VG, is too short a term for a search.

You can use the Google Search to get around this.

Note the * next to your name designating that you're only seen by yourself and moderators.

If the word is common or shorter then 3 characters, vBulletin removes the word from the search. You should use advance search and do a "In Titles Only" search else you'll find all posts with the word as well.

"Currently Viewing This Thread" is part of vBulletin.

vBulletin 3 series uses MyISAM Full Text search capability which indexes on the fly, there is no "re-indexing" unless you count deleting the index and recreating it (which you should never do)
