I've just spent most of the day working with vBulletin, for the first time. So keep that in mind, I don't really know what I'm doing with it. ;-)
Some questions... First, is the "update counters" item in the admin panel supposed to be run on a regular basis, or is it done automatically? Should it be a cron job or something?
Next, I have a number of forums that have "Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts" set to "No". I have a RSS feeder application that pumps articles into those forums. However, the user that the RSS app runs as has it's post count incremented. If I run "Update Post Counts" in "Import & Maintenance", the count goes back to 0 for that user. Why is this happening?
Finally, if I install a new style, will the changes I made to the current style (the default) be carried over to the new style? Or do I have to re-apply the changes that I've made?
