Vanilla 2.0.18 RC2 released
This is NOT a stable release. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE AND CONFIG.PHP FILE BEFORE UPGRADING. This is a release candidate for testing purposes only. I skipped releasing RC1 because I had 1 more patch to pull and messed up the git tag. :) Download it here (VIA GITHUB - Do not use the Addons section on this site currently).… -
How to welcome new users to your community
Hello there! Wait, what is this? A new user has joined. What's more, no one seems to know him (or her)! How should you welcome this new user? How will you get to know him? This is a situation all forum regulars, veterans, and admins know too well. A great place to start, in my humble opinion, is by respecting them as a… -
Re: IPB support for VanillaPorter (beta)
Forgot that I was using two databases using IPB's archive feature. I have a regular IPB database installed, and also an IPB Archive database for archived topics.

Re: Tapatalks - Anyone is using "Build your own App"

Re: Add extra field in comment discussion
It helps to get an understanding of the Model, View, Controller concept. Then you will be able to decide where to look at. It also helps to have an understanding of how things are organized in Vanilla. Roughly spoken, Vanilla is a forum application that is based on a framework called Garden. There are two other…
