    Did you follow the vBulletin specific instructions?

    Yes, but the instructions had an error on step 5:

    5. Add the following to your index.php file within your archive folder after the following lines:

    <div class="pagebody">
    <?php


    The problem is that the file does not have the lines anywhere in it. I just downlaoded the newest version of vbulletin so that may have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. Please help.


    PS - Amazing idea and execution of this network, thank you for setting it up!

    I'll check the setup... it may very well have changed in the 3.0.4 version (I haven't checked). Is everything setup okay now for you? Also, are you sure you were setting it up in the index.php file within the archive folder?

    Go back and go through the instructions again. You should not be editing the index.php in the main forum. :)

    is there anyway to edit the link i have at the top of this thread? i have it set up under a subdomain now and i fear G might consider it duplicate content.

    if a mod reads this, please delete the link i have at the top of this thread, PLEASE! it is the only place online that has a link to that url and G already picked it up!
