vBulletin Options
vBulletin Options (ADMIN CP> vBulletin Options) covers the
basics of the forum operation. Lets look at some of the more
important of these.
General Settings
Meta Keywords - This is where you enter
keywords for your forum. These keywords will be displayed
to search engines. You should choose 8-10 keywords and keyword
phrases.
Meta Description - This is the description
of your forum that will be read by search engines. You should
make this2-3 sentences long and it should describe your community.
Cookies and HTTP Header Options
Time-Out for Cookie - This is the time in
seconds that a user must remain inactive before any unread
posts are marked read. This setting also controls how long
a user will remain on Who's Online after their last activity.
I would set this to 1800 or more. 1800=30 minutes.
Style & Language Settings
Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? -You should
select this to yes. It speeds up your forum a bit.
Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template -
You can choose how a post looks. You have 2 choices. Here
are some screenshots to help you decide. Most choose to use
the Legacy Postbit, but you can choose either.
