Hi, your links to the 2.4 files were incorrect; I took the liberty to fix them. I hope this is okay. Thanks for adopting a great tool! --Gribeco 19:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
When I click on any Live IRC edits, my Firefox browser always opens first a tab to http://www.u-bourgogne.fr prior to opening the URL I clicked on.Is this some kind of sponsoring to pay the IRC bandwidth or VF development ?
Thanks --Effco 08:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
no :), afaik it's not sponsoring :) Does it happen when you click on irc or when you click on edits in vandalfighter (slightly unclear :)).
IF it only happens in vandalfighter when there are special edits, (Special:Log/delete, Special:Log/block, ...) try using the latest version. Henna 09:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I use Linux and when I click on an edit in RC tab nothing happens (with "Automatically detect browser" checked). If I uncheck it an set "firefox %u" in the textbox, it opens a new firefox with two tabs: the right one and University of Alberta 's website. With XP the same version works without touching anything, any idea ? 16@r 13:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why is CDVF disconnecting all the time now? I am an admin on en.wiktionary.org, and it keep disconnecting *RIGHT* when the goatse/move/flood vandals strike. --Connel MacKenzie 10:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wich version?, does it happen often? (so that I can check wether the irclog might help me in figuring it out. ) Henna 11:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a trick to importing a watchlist? I copied my watchlist into a text file, then I tried to import it. Nothing appears to happen. Does any know what is required to import? If the function in the VF doesn't work is there a way to edit the vfdata.dat file to insert the list? Thanks, -Will Beback 20:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I've tried various ways to whitelist the Special:Log/newusers so that it doesn't appear, but none worked. I'd like the other logs to still appear, though. Any hints? BTW, I watch #en.wiktionary. Thanks. Vildricianus 08:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The settings to only show IP edits, show newpages and the setting to show only black/watchlisted entries appears to be broken in the latest version of VF (3.4) Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 21:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm having trouble with the newest version. My default project is no:, and it's the only project I am interested in having the edits from. But the highrisk edits from en: somehow manages to get on the list. I've tried deleting the vfdata.dat file, but that doesn't help at all. I really hope this can be fixed. --Stianbh 11:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'm an user from es: Wikipedia. I'd like to tell you a problem that I'm having with the vandl fighter.
Well, let's begin, I downloaded and executed the 3.5 Vandal Fighter seeing the es: RC . The next day, I put it again, but it worked on the en: wikipedia. I decided to change the configuration and it didn't work, though. I run more times the VF with configuration on es:, but it always doesn't work... it only works on en:
It happened to another Wikipedian friend... Do you know what it could be or shall I use the 2.2 version? =P
I downloaded the 3.3 version, but it work in the same way...
Thanks and sorry for my english, --Equi 23:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Now, I found out that if I download the 3.3 version, in the first time, it works... When I close it and execute it again, it lose the configuration... I'd like to know what can I do with the 3.3 version. :( Equi 01:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to run VF 3.3 on my Mac PowerBook G4. I'm running OS X 10.3.9. I'm able to load the application. Import the list of admins from the site as well as import my watchlist. I try and connect and I don't receive any feed. I was able to view the live feed in XChat so I don't think it has to do with my Java runtime environment. VF 3.3 works perfectly on my PC though.

Hello, is there a way to use VF to monitor edits made by a netrange? For example, using regex to filter edits made by 205.202.0.0 - 205.202.255.255 could be useful for tracking network abuse for educational institutions.

I've just installed Vandal Fighter 3.5 and am really impressed with it, but I can't seem to figure out scanning for users using regexps. I've got "Apply regexp blacklist to user names" turned on and have added a regexp of "Vashti" to scan for my own edits to test it. That works fine, but if I change it to "Vash.*" or "Vash.+", those don't highlight anything. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks... Vashti 12:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone offer me some guidance on getting Vandal Fighter to work. I've installed the latest and greatest versions of JRE and of VF (I think ... I've got vf35b_17.jar, but I've also tried vf35b_3.jar). When I open the .jar file, it opens Vandal Fighter and the status bar at the bottom says "Ready to connect ....". I click Connect. The status bar says "joined channel". I assume that it's at this point that the window should start populating with possible cases of vandalism, but nothing comes up; even after letting it run for 20 or 30 minutes. Any suggestions? Thanks! Sanfranman59 01:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Howdy,
I added a downloads section to the navigation template to make it easier for people to locate the current stable and dev versions. Hope it looks ok.
BTW: What bugs are outstanding on version "3.5b 26 (beren)" stopping it being a stable version? I've found I prefer using this version and haven't had any problems yet. I've only seen one bug posted to the bugs page related to it too.
Is the "graying bug" still in that version? I noticed that's why the 3.5 section has been tagged with a message saying "going back to 3.3" since 12 April 2006 (diff).
