VBulletin 4.0.4: problems continue
5 days passed since the release of 4.0.4 version. Despite this version contains some critical bugs that break forum functionality, VBulletin team apparently decided NOT to fix them inside 4.0.4 release. Instead they created a thread on the forum in which they are trying to incorporate critical bug fixes. So, customers that were stupid enough (like me) to install this “maintenance release” are left alone with VBulletin Community forum to search for fixes for their bugs.
Damn it, but I don’t understand, why having purchased commercial product, I don’t have any immediate actions on bugfixing, that are easy for me to follow? Why should I search forum, read threads and manually patch forum files? None released updated files in whatever form to assist their busy customers.
My users who use IE reported another bug. Thumbnails stopped showing:
There is no solution to this bug yet (at least I haven’t found it) and my thread on forum is unanswered for several hours already. Thank you, Vbulletin Solutions for your care about customers.
UPDATE 01/07/2010: The cause has been found. In the attachments content-type for all jpeg images should be “image/jpeg”, not “image/jpg”

Increasing RAID resync/rebuild speed
Recently I assembled a server with several 2Tb disks in Linux RAID. RAID resync reported by cat /proc/mdstat showed that resync will take about 9 hours! More than my working day! I started to look for a way to increase resync speed.

Plesk 9: Adding a subdomain pointing to custom folder (for example, inside webroot)
Usually, I work with CPanel. But some time ago my friend asked me to move his website to a server with Plesk installed by default. Website required domain sub.domain.com to point to a folder inside main site webroot. I surprizingly found, that with Plesk 9 it is impossible (it was ok with old versions where Plesk allowed to choose subdomain destination folder). I had to find a way to overcome that.
