Ryan,

"Mostly it would be beneficial for new posters if it worked as intended."

My concern is, people get hung up on that rep stuff and poor noobs get even less attention than they already do. I feel that I posted better when I first posted here (I posted less too, probably not a coincidence) but because I was a noob I was pretty much ignored. Maybe I'm overthinking this and it helps noobs more than hurts but I'm not seeing it. I am for whatever helps quality noobs get noticed.

Rep system rules! I've got it on other forums and it rocks

Sitepoint's vBulletin lets you choose whatever title you want. Not sure if that's a custom mod or a freely available one but I like it.

masking the URL is the best I can come up with perhaps going to the direct IP. but I need a Guinea pig I don't have a filter or proxy at my shop so I can't test if it works or not.

The reason forumserver gets passed (I think) is that www.twoplustwo.com (and with out www) is flagged gambling by the filters by default

yea, this is correct. it's the same for my work.

fwiw, archiveserver.twoplustwo.com also does not work though the filter either.

did the IP address it self work ? I bet you get a diffrent block msg like "Numerical websites not allowed" or something similar

the other one worked cause I masked the IP and not the twoplustwo.com url

the problem I think is going to be when the forum "calls" the DB from your browser I can't mask that... the only way to find out is when it happens work on it

anyone else behind a filter is welcome to to try that url at the bottom, its going to have some adds at the bottom, just deal with it then

ryan is it just the login page changing to the main www or the whole VB software , links etc

like after login does the url change to "boards." or "forumeserver" again?

Re: Important info about vBulletin
 

2p2.url-go.com works great for me.

if you use firefox/adblock, you can block the frame at the bottom, and you won't have any dirty advertisements.

One nice thing that even the mods haven't seen quite yet is that 2+2 will automatically switch to using a special lite skin on mobile devices, excluding the iPhone.

This is so unbelievably great.
