the forum was using youtube's ancient flash embedded player, now (youtube) uses the fancy html5 player. boy howdy, this sure is the future. EYbSfb0uuAk

I believe it's an issue with how it's been merged with Wordpress. There's a plugin being used called WP-United that has had its way with PHPBB's stuff. I made a complete copy of the web-pages and the databases and set them up in a local VM. Without making any changes. The issues didn't present themselves (the UCP pages worked, you can log out, etc). This suggests to me that there may be some global server setting, service, etc, that is interfering, but I've not been able to find any helpful logs on just what the problem could be. It may be something that I can't access. I don't know how 'intact' the forum's database is following the WP-United stuff. It might. I'd want to enable the forum's debug mode and try to enable every possible way of displaying error messages (not a good idea to leave stuff like that enabled as there may be security implications). I need the error messages as a baseline in order to identify what exactly's going wrong. My whole reason for having an offline copy was to avoid the risk of potentially breaking the Live site further during my attempts to fix it. I AM working on the overall problem, but there won't be a quick solution I'm afraid. Ah yes, A few months ago, I grabbed the mysql database and threw it on a fresh installation of phpbb and there were no issues at all. That's probably the best possible option going forward, but we'd need to change themes, as this one hasn't been updated in /ages/.

Neither user-specified titles or reputation have extensions that are being actively developed for phpBB 3.1. The modifications used with the current forum to add those features haven't been updated in years. This is a pretty serious security risk; it makes upgrades incredibly difficult. Most likely, the answer is no. As for maximum avatar size, I don't see why not, I guess it'd be up to Ross. Edit: custom titles are actually something that can be added with a feature built-in to phpbb :v okay yeah those can be a thing

Yeah. It's the same, just with different icons.

There aren't that many styles available for the latest version of the forum software this site uses, unfortunately. The current theme hasn't been updated in years. Here's another option, I did some quick modifications to the colors to make it match the grays and oranges of the current theme. Forum browsing with read/unread threads. Topics.

The theme actually uses SASS for styling, which has variables. We are living in the future. Changing colors throughout the whole theme is as easy as editing a variable and compiling.

admittedly, i haven't talked to ross or anyone from this site in a long time. i'm not gonna touch anything. hi ross! however, this theme looks nice, it could be quickly tweaked to look very similar to what the site looks like now. http://www.artodia.com/demo.php?demo=phpbb31&id=8

hey, howdy. i took a look into the blank profile page issue, and was reminded why i was scared away from php years ago and haven't touched it with a ten-foot pole since. turns out, after having to change settings in three (THREE!!) whole files, I was presented with a nice little error log telling me the problem is with a cache file for the plugin (wp united) that was installed back when comments/users were migrated to the forums from the wordpress install on the main site. i had zero involvement with that, and the plugin itself hasn't been updated in a year. not to mention there are 43 folders (heh) with mysteriously similar names in the forums directory. i ran a backup and made an attempt to fix that plugin (clearing the aformentioned cache. CACHE. Y'KNOW, FOR CACHING THINGS) and lo and behold it broke the entire forums. I restored from a backup and everything seemed to be back in order. same old issues, right? images were borked for a bit but those should be back again. let me know if i missed anything. sorry about the mess. anyway, going forward, the integration with the main site can probably be dropped. what it did was sync the users and comments on the blog with the forums, and at this point no one's commenting anymore. ideally, the forum should be updated to the latest version of phpbb, which does seem possible! i grabbed a copy of the database and staged it on my laptop, and everything seems to be working a-ok, including profiles, avatars, etc. the only problem is the theme hasn't been updated since 2012, but there are very similar ones available.

shame on you, jexius or whoever did the login authentication

Volume 2 was released a few days ago, here's the page for all of the albums: http://www.thinkwithportals.com/music.php

Yeah, the FAQ hasn't changed since the site got moved over. The only change was when I added an entry about the subscription feature. It's definitely on the list of things to do, including making it more navigatable (w/ a TOC similar to Wikipedia)

you don't varnish the cache server, you purge the varnish cache

O_O yep ;] I joined before all of you

So, I guess my comment moderation isn't needed anymore Ha, nice forums though
