Here’s the fix:
Simply replace your old logout link with:
<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>
Yup that’s it. Wasn’t too difficult, eh?

Well, it’s pretty hard to find a working solution.
If you have a VBulletin license you can download it here.
That will allow you to hide bbcodes such as [URL] from guests.
You should also get a mod to add a new group for spiders thou.
Update:
Install this to assign spiders to a usergroup:

Do you want to turn on “instant E-Mail notification” by default?
E-Mails can you help to get more replies on your forum. Therefore some forum admins turn on this option by default. How would I do that?
To change all current members to this setting – AdminCP > Import & Maintenance > Execute SQL Query > Automatic Query, chose “Instant Email Notification” from the dropdown menu, Click the “Continue” button, and on the next page under Confirm Query Execution click “Continue” again.
Reminder: You should have a current backup before running queries.
To set the default for future registrations – AdminCP > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options > Default Registration Options > Automatic Thread Subscription Mode, select “Instant Email Notification” from the dropdown menu, and click “Save” at the bottom of the screen.

Yesterday I opened my mail client thunderbird and suddenly a message pops up “Sending password did not suceed”. Wow, great!
After doing some research I finally found a solution. And it’s a well known bug:
The reason this happens is because many cPanel installs were done on top of a Linux install that had a POP3 daemon run from xinetd. You will need to change into the /etc/xinetd.d directory from ssh and find the popa3d and popa3ds files. The files look like this:
# default: off # description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \ # using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \ # or fetchmail. service pop3 { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/popa3d } What you need to do is set the 'disable' parameter to 'yes'. It should look like this when you are done: # default: off # description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \ # using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \ # or fetchmail. service pop3 { disable = yes socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/popa3d }Repeat the same for popa3ds and then run:
service xinetd stop
service cpanel restart
service xinetd start
After that simply restart “POP3 service” via WHM/Cpanel and you’ll be fine again.
Annoying, but now it’s fixed!

Windows 7 will allow you to take and save screenshots in a couple seconds through a built-in tool called “Snipping Tool”. Win7 runs a lot faster and I was able to open more than 200 firefox tabs without noticing any “lag”. This is truly a sign that this might improve your daily blogging life.
AeroPeek will help you to switch between windows and applications and Aero Snap will help you to compare content in two different browser windows. Multitouch-panning might not be used commonly right now, but might also change your daily blogging life as soon as you get a fancy touchscreen monitor.

If you have MySQL5 on your server, but you need MySQL-Python (like me), then you gotta install Python 2.6.1 (latest update) with a different prefix. If you simply install it via yum you might mess up your whole system!
Good info about linux configure and make:
CentOS.org

Most important info, if you have CentOS on your server you gotta install the tk-devel package first
