Default Basic vB admin task

Do you perform a vBulletin admin take or have you devised your own short cut to doing some tasks in vB? Why not share it with us?

Here are two I want to share:

To control users signature length do as follows
Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Signature Permissions ->
Maximum Characters in Signature Including BBCode Markup Maximum Characters in Signature Excluding BBCode Markup
Maximum Lines in Signature

To set up conditional Signature


1. Set the Registered usergroup so that signatures are disabled.

2. Create a new usergroup with the appropriate overall permissions you want:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Add New Usergroup

3. Create a Promotion to promote users that reach 10 posts to that group:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Promotions

I have two tips for you (have more but these two occurs to me now)
1. It is regular visitor's demand that they would like to subscribe to the feed of the latest posts. All you need to do to edit the headinclude model adding this line into it
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="UKWW latest posts" href="external.php?type=RSS2&lastpost=1" />

2. Robots really like vBulletin so why not ping them when something fresh content added.
You will need this post pingers mod

I placed this services into the ping list:
rpc.pingomatic.com
blogsearch.google.com/ping
rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping
ping.blo.gs

note: don't forget to exclude the hidden forums, specifying their IDs at the setting page, since i guess they wouldn't like to come to your site for nothing.:-)

I have the permissions described as in "Control users signature length" already setup !
to only a couple of hundred of char.s

And for the second tip, I don't mind people with < 10 post count having a siggy.
as I let vBSEO add rel=nofollow to all the outgoing sig links.

Hello Shadab. Does vBSEO allow that nofollow to be removed after a set post count?
