Note that's vBulletin 4 code, haven't tested but doubt it will work on 3.8 or earlier. The old 3.x version of the code can be made to work by asis by enabling the compatibility aliases, that's also not recommended. Screenshots: . .

I'm afraid most of vB 3.x based board will switch to 4.x version in near time.
4.x is simply a rewrite of vBulletin, and they made most of mods/hacks (and even themes) for 3.x branch completely unusable. Spoiler for notes:
But, for that "annoying" pop-ups, you can disable it under vBulletin Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Remove Redirection Message Pages (set to Yes).

I did? I suppose I could have. Well anyway no matter.
Here's the last of the details you asked. With this everything I mentioned in my first post should be as you asked.

Only problem with that is it will affect normal posts as well. And 20 seconds is way too low for a forum as busy as this. I think 60 is a bit too long, 45 may be better, but I'm not sure what the server load is and everything. The host may require the time between posts be longer than default in some cases.

Hm, okey let me try again...
Quote:
The phrasing used I suggested changing is by todays standards either awkward or way too technical. It was devised when forums still coexisted as another form of mailing list/irc channel, so the phrasing is inherently technical and complicated (to your average new user; and people who visit from other non-vBulletin or forum-ish places). vBulletin, weirdly enough, also kept their original phrasing since its inception around 10 years ago (most likely compliance reasons), which was good then, but looks very old/silly when compared to todays standards where the alternative more natural words have come into place and use. Not to mention this is a anime forum. vBulletin leaves things as stickies/threads/replies/contacts because they can't assume what you would use their software for. You might use it for bug tracking, just for a form of interactive support, listing of some kind of discussion etc. Here however you don't have that ambiguity, so it doesn't make sense to leave it technical, as in: "I need to create a Topic. To create a topic I need to create a Thread." rather you can have "I need to create a Topic. Oh look, there's the New Topic button." with the change of one pesky word. And don't tell me everyone knows it since I know you're old enough to remember the times when we didn't have the majority we have now of people who've learned what they are suppose to mean. Also, there is still plenty of silly phrasing (people have not gotten too used to) in the system anyway. For example, what is a "Contact List"? It doesn't show me a phone number or info, so its not something like a personal phone book; so what is it? If I called it a "Watchlist" (like they do on pretty much every site out there; even GHD used it in the beta of v3) everyone would understand what it does and is, regardless of what I place in it; but its not called that is it =P Also c'mon its only 3 clicks and a few edits. Not to mention its all built in very nicely so it doesn't even bother the vB1.0 phrases if you're in love with them. I didn't ask for you to set it as default Langauge either so its not really bothering anyone.
