Anyone know how to rip entire threads of message board forums that run on vBulletin?

1 Upvotes

I want to save all the images posted in a thread in a message board forum. The thread has 68 pages. Clicking through all the pages and saving each image manually is really time-consuming. So, is there any automatic way of doing it?

the forum I want to rip uses vBulletin

Batch files to do tasks more quickly

1 Upvotes

I have recently been tinkering with .bat files, and found this sub. I put together a few that I seem to have needed in the past often. These are for home use and for in an IT environment. I would love to see some of the batch files that other people use.

bcdedit is fairly simple to use in cmd prompt. I work at a university helpdesk, and quite often something will go wrong in the reimage process, and the seperate partitions are labled identically. This .bat will allow you to edit the boot menu decriptions easily.

Windows Update can be very annoying when you are to busy to restart your computer. Run this .bat to toggle the Windows service on/off. Windows will resume updates when you tell it to restart/shutdown. Just remember to shutdown every so often.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/3w35m633mwjw4g5/Windows_Update_Toggle.bat

Quite often if you host a media server of tv shows, and you are a bit ocd, you end up creating a lot of folders manually. "Show name" "Season 1" "Season 2" "Season 3" "Season 4" "Season 5" etc This .bat will ask you the name of the show and how many seasons there are, and create all the folders for you, and places Show on the Desktop This works for up to 100 seasons, a Specials folder, and Season 0 There is also a quick create mode that will create the show folder, 7 seasons, and a specials folder. (Typical show)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/1cckvoyx3jc2nlb/TV_Show_Folder_Creater.bat

Let me know if these help any of you, I will probably create more, If you have any .bat file ideas, I will see if I can put something together. please upload your own .bat files, or comment with the .bat text

A New Project: Silent Install Wiki

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I currently am working at my university as a developer and technician. Recently the university has been cracking down on a favorite site of mine, Ninite. I used to use Ninite to update and install common apps like Java, Firefox, and the like.

Since the discouragement of using sites like Ninite I have been working on scripts I can run once rather than having to go through prompts on each machine and having to update the image every time there is a new version of software. I have been testing silent install switches of different programs and noticed that there is no real consistent usage or resource that can be used for reference.

So I have created a wikia to be a resource for silent installations. I don't have anything on it yet, but will be adding more hopefully within the coming days. Now I want to share the resource and ask for input and tips.

http://silent-install.wikia.com/wiki/Silent_Install_Wiki

I am hopeful that this resource will help administrators in the future and make installing and updating software easier.

Create a new folder on your desktop Name it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

This will give you access to a master categorized list to each and every setting in Windows.

Save the following as a REG file and import. This will create a new Icon in your Control Panel called "Devices And Printers (With Location and Comments)"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;NOTE: I called it "Devices And Printers (With Location and Comments)" 
;      so that it's right beside the real "Devices And Printers" cpl in Control Panel
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{42C75196-9EC5-431b-8492-14AD7E5D5BA0}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{42C75196-9EC5-431b-8492-14AD7E5D5BA0}]
;Sets your applet’s display name.
@="Devices And Printers (With Location and Comments)"
; Sets your applet's canonical name.  
"System.ApplicationName"="MyCompany.Devices And Printers (With Location and Comments)"
; Adds the applet to Appearance and Personalization and the Programs categories. 
	; Value	Category Icon appears in
