Security Token issues are to do with styles not the vBulletin script itself.LostWitness said:Are there still Security Token issues in vBulletin 3.7.1, or did they stop?
Forgot tomention its to do with out of date mods/hacks aswell...LostWitness said:Thanks Hoxxy for letting me know. I never knew it was from skins lol. So I guess vBulletin 3.7.1 is okay to use.
Figz said:Thanks very much, it installs and works great (without keygen version).
I'm just wondering how 'safe' it is to use this. Is there any way of vB finding out unless someone reports it?
Hoxxy said:Using a nulled version of any script is never safe! vBulletin have a database of all there legit customer licences and can easily check your site to their db if they come across it, they do also have piracy staff check forums so it probably is just a matter of time until you are caught but that could be tomorrow or 5 years from now you just never know....
But if you do ever get "the dreaded email" there are ways of getting round this tho you can simply move your forum to a sub domain:
yourforum.com to yoursite.com/forum
I know a member here has done this about 3 times so far
But in my opinion the best thing to do is if your forum gets big and vary active buy a legit version..
Yeah they just as you to shutdown and remove vB then check back after, but if you don't they will then contact your host and get them to remove it.If I was to get 'the dreaded email' do they simply ask you to close it down or will they take legal action?
