    ban bad members directly from htaccess = stop them requesting anything from my server

    You are not being nasty enough, the rediretc is happening within the image still you need something more aggressive. for example redirect them here: http://itopsites.com/nasty then try loading the website... you will see what I mean. $badusers = array("tiber10", "Benzia", "tvqc"...

    ban bad members directly from htaccess = stop them requesting anything from my server

    not nasty enough ;) password protect your /haha/ folder using .htaccess, and add a nasty message to the login box. Then any visitors to any pages loading your button will see your message on that page. No need to click the button or anything, this also works if the button is hidden, or...

    https website not counting votes

    they can only use "https" if they renew the SSL which has expired if they do not renew the SSL, then you need to edit their account to use http version of the URL instead

    lannuaire-francophone.com

    the one thing i would consider changing is your content "above the fold". There seems to be a lot of empty space in the BEST real estate, the navigation below is a little confusing also. You might consider putting an ad at the very top of the page, but then have your rankings start...

    vl chat !

    for sure they will use it for support, once people start adding questions to chat instead of the forum, those forum topics are never created, and never search for... then support ends up answering the same questions over and over. A searchable forum is a valuable archive of questions and...

    Duplicate Users

    well you really shouldn't see too many duplicate submissions from legit users especially since VL checks for duplicate URL's on joining. It should be safe to remove the 301 redirect once its been dropped from Google index and you confirmed no other links are pointing to that URL, though i must...

    Duplicate Users

    the *best* way to handle that is to keep only 1 user account and delete the rest. so lets say you have yoursite.com/details/mark and yoursite.com/details/marka12 remove whichever one is least active or no link code installed, then create a 301 redirect in your .htaccess redirecting the...

    cache button.php

    dynamic buttons couple with pageview counting are going to be intensive no matter how you handle it. Your best option is to use a module known as "memcache", but you need probably need a VPS or dedicated server for that. if your list is not generating enough money to pay for a good hosting...

    Unclutter - Get Inactive Website Status

    Most likely they are returning a different status, it depends on how the parked page is setup

    Reset members activity

    Missing a single quote in that first query Should be: // Old status list($old_status) = $DB->fetch("SELECT active FROM {$CONF['sql_prefix']}_sites WHERE username = '{$TMPL['username']}'", __FILE__, __LINE__);

    Unclutter - Get Inactive Website Status

    Got the pm with the URL thanks, that URL is actually active and returns 200. Even though the domain expired, the domain is now parked and is serving content. There is no way for this plugin to know if it's a legit page or a parked page.

    The Dark Elegant Collection

    This skin is not up to date and doesn't work with the latest versions. copy user_cp_start.html template from parabola to /skins/Dark Elegant Green/ and that will get you past this error.

    Trackingcode in e-mail

    Both are good thoughts, 1) this is tricky because of all the choices of button codes, and if you send a bunch of button codes most of the time that will be flagged as spam. Perhaps we could just send an invite to login to the user_cp to get your code and upload your banners etc. 2) inactive...

    Limiting Title Character Limit?

    Doing this in the real world would result with a punch to the mouth and/or a trip to the police station. I will give xyphien 48 hours to make this right, hoping this is all a misunderstanding :) then if he does nothing, I may have some fun with him and his web presence.
