Hello learnings, what brings you to vBulletinSetup.com?

Hi everybody. My friends and I have just bought a vb licence, and we are trying to set up our new Forum. I have a bit of experience with SMF, so when I first entered the Admin
Panel in vb, you can imagine my confusion!!
Please tell us a bit about yourself.

I'm an expat, living in Thailand, trying to set up a Forum with decent fellow foreigners.
What's your #1 interest online?
Forum life.
Are you running a vBulletin forum? What version and the URL if you don't mind.

Thanks for allowing us to interview you, learnings. We hope you enjoy your stay and welcome to vBSetup!
Thanks!

Nice introduction Thread you've set up!

Hello Brandon.

I've added my URL link and a link to my vb.org Profile.

what is your forum about?
with it being private, I can't really see it :|

It's an invite only Forum, because we don't want any trolls from other forums coming over.

We're basically just starting. Our forum is still on SMF, and we're planning to move everything over to vb as soon as we've tweaked vb to our needs.

Unfortunately for me, it's not like SMF when it comes to installing plugins.

I tried to install the Casino yesterday (I know it's a product..):

I downloaded it to my computer and went into Admin Panel and succeeded (or at least I think I did..) in installing it, but naive me thought it would automatically appear on the nav bar, just like our Home Page, which our hosting company installed for us . . .

I'm quite dizzy from all this new stuff, and know nothing about modifying code etc.

If anyone knows of some good guides or tutorials to do these things my buddies and I would be most obliged.

vBulletin may take a little while tog et the hang of it, but I think you'll find it much easier than SMF

You have full access to the forums, please open a new thread in the vb questions section if you have questions about installing a mod or plugin

enjoy the forums
