Here let me share my 3 useful skills about Vbulletin Version 4.
1. members that have visited the forum today for unregistered users also;
2. Similar Threads not show up
3. Reset “Most Users Ever Online”
For first question, do as follows:
It’s the usergroup permission Can View the Visiting Members Display on Forum Home. (Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Unregistered / Not Logged In -> General Permissions), and enable “Can View the Visiting Members Display on Forum Home”. Save and done.
For second question, you have to do 3 steps:
Step one:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options-> Message Searching Options -> ‘Automatic Similar Thread Search’ enabled;
Step two:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Show Similar Threads? Yes;
Step three:
Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Rebuild Simila Threads
Done.
For the third skills: Reset “Most Users Ever Online”
edit your db:
table: datastore
title: maxloggedin
and very carefully edit it to what you want.
in the below example, it’s set to 260 as the max users:
a:4:{s:9:”maxonline”;i:260;s:13:”maxonlinedate”;i:1354391948;s:15:”maxvisitorsdate”;i:1352068978;s:11:”maxvisitors”;i:306;}
I believe the first bold number if the max online value. The second one is the Unix timestamp. You can Convert a Date/Time to a Unix timestamp at http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm
