I think that's a WP/Vanilla bridge issue - posts created from WP have a timestamp in the future, when you couldn't have seen it. A certain number of minutes or hours later, it falls down/can be marked read, etc.

I ran a 24/7 Tekkit server last month and it was fun at first, but not a lot of new people joined and I found out that was because they didn't know how or couldn't bother to install the Technic launcher.
Tried my best with optimizing the httpd config, but it still seemed to use too much resources.
I switched to Nginx (by itself; not as a proxy) and PHP-FPM and now everything's much faster and there are less processes along with lower memory usage. …
I'm not running a GUI. I'm guessing that my problem is related to httpd.conf prefork or worker settings. If so, is there anything I should change with my config below?
StartServers 1
MinSpareServers 1
MaxSpareServers 5

Thanks, everyone. :D I choose CentOS and Apache because they're the easiest for me to use and configure. I'll consider using Nginx as a reverse caching proxy in the future.
I do have a problem with the Apache processes though. Either they're using …
I believe there are two packages of the T2i and T3i. One comes with the 18-55 and the other 18-135. That second Sigma is nice, but the first Sigma sounds good for a first time lens. I've been reading up and hearing that because of the crop body sens…
Interesting review. Nothing new learned from it though. Good advise again, Snarkasm. Just wondering, would that Sigma 50-200mm be better than the Canon EF-S 18-135mm kit lens? I believe they end up being the same price with the T2i (kit / no kit).

Would the noise be audible if I used an external microphone such as a hot shoe attached shotgun microphone? Those lenses look cool. Also, does Amazon charge tax? Haven't used them in a while and thanks for the affiliate links.
If only if I could ge…
The Nikon + adapter would probably set me back to $175. The Canon one seems to be $135. I can see that because I don't have any lenses right now, that a zoom lens might be more beneficial.
The viewfinder adapter, I'm guessing, is probably going to …
Thanks. That's some good advise. I might as well have to get a large SD card. I don't think I'll really be needing the swivel screen a lot but only rarely so I don't think it's worth it but I'm going to have to give it a try in person to get the fee…
Interesting. Best of luck, kryyst. :) Would love to see your new Vanilla forum when you've finished setting it up. I agree with your reasoning. Vanilla's main index "latest posts" output will really push it to users that new activity is happening on…
Sounds like a plan. :) Be careful though, depending on the type of encryption used on passwords on Webwiz, your users might have to reset their password. If phpBB's Webwiz converter has a custom auth_webwiz.php file, then your users would have to lo…
@Enverex: Nice forums, and awesome footer image! :D
@kryyst: Yes, Vanilla does support PMs as I have found out. It's called the "conversations" feature. Same thing basically. I might be able to setup a forum soon using the WordPress SSO plugin with…
Looks very nice and clean. :) What I realized sadly, was that when converting MyBB -> vBulletin, that passwords won't work without resetting them. I thought it was the Vanilla importer's fault but it was indeed vB's ImpEx.
It's good to know that you're very into Vanilla. I just noticed that you've written about converting over to Vanilla in a blog post a couple years ago on this site. I don't know if Vanilla's main purpose is to reinvent the wheel and provide a more s…
