I just did a few random checks of some links in the Announcements section (ie, the names of various Admins and Mods, some Usergroups) and they all went to "Object Not Found" error pages.
I suspect that in the great software change, the various links were broken.

Every single old profile link was broken as far as I know.

All of the "Staff Listing" profile links and group links were fixed. It was a simple find/replace operation in a text editor (the ID numbers haven't changed, just the name of the PHP script that's used to list them).
I also updated the software from version 3.0.3 to the latest (3.0.4) just now. As always, if there are any glitches, let me know.
Sorry I haven't been around much lately; the software update was quick and easy so I did it during a break in my schedule, but I've been running around taking care of a lot of things in real-life recently.

Yeah, old links to profiles will not work. Everything in the Complete Shit List in the Chronicle forum is broken, but I imagine that's not really a high priority.

Intermittent connection issues. I dropped the connection a few times just a couple of minutes ago, don't know which end it's on, though.

Do anyone know why I can't post smiles in HoS?

hi,
I am constantly getting 'You cannot search at this time' at odd times while using the search function.
Any idea what is causing this?

Not sure if anyone else is havin this issue but every forum I am visiting is presenting itself a a sub forum of The Colesium. That is as I post this on the top and bottom bars the screen shows that I am currently at:
Board index>>System>>The Imperial Senate>>The Colesium>>Off-Topic
Its been doing that for every forum I've visited tonight (with Off-Topic being replaced by whichever forum I am in).

Yup. All day long Cmdr. That was what my post was in reference too. You should have seen the board before it was fixed. It was anarchy.

It's a lingering side-effect of the fuckup that took place when GR killed SUPER-INTELLIGENT DISCUSSION WORLD, aka SPAMWORLD. Forums were moved all over the place. It was a mess. I managed to get all the forums back where they belong, but the links at the top of the screen are still fucked up and I'm not sure how to fix them. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions.

My post count has disappeared. Not that I had that much to begin with, but what gives?

The problem is most likely that the forum_parents field in the phpbb_forums table has become corrupted. This field is only used for secondary navigation elements, e.g. the 'breadcrumbs' (as phpBB3 calls them) at the top of the page. If you could fire up your SQL client, execute 'SELECT forum_id, parent_id, forum_parents, forum_name, forum_type FROM phpbb_forums' and dump the results here I should be able to give you an SQL script to fix the problem.

That seems straightforward enough (those are serialised PHP arrays). These commands should fix the problem;
Code: Select all
UPDATE phpbb_forums SET forum_parents = 'a:1:{i:56;a:2:{i:0;s:7:"Gallery";i:1;i:0;}}' WHERE forum_id = 12 OR forum_id = 40 OR forum_id = 51
UPDATE phpbb_forums SET forum_parents = 'a:1:{i:55;a:2:{i:0;s:11:"Non-Fiction";i:1;i:0;}}' WHERE forum_id = 5 OR forum_id = 7 OR forum_id = 14
UPDATE phpbb_forums SET forum_parents = 'a:1:{i:55;a:2:{i:0;s:11:"Non-Fiction";i:1;i:0;}}' WHERE forum_id = 22 OR forum_id = 24 OR forum_id = 38

Not a problem or anything, just me being anal really, but would it be possible to center the Avatars and Titles under the user names.

But not all the old themes had the avatar centred (Millennium Falcon for example).

Duh. Forgot there was more than just one board theme.

It worked! I didn't run it right away because I wanted to create a copy of the board to try it on first (and I was very busy at work), but I tried it on the board copy and it worked, so I applied it here and it worked too. Thanks, Starglider.

You're welcome. At some point I'd like to convert those mods (e.g. runoff voting) I made for the old code base to phpBB3, so you can have another try at applying them to the board. Currently though I'm kind of snowed under with work programming and not so enthusiastic about doing more in my free time.

When I do a search for
"View your posts" and click on page two it tells me I have to wait before doing another search, even though it's the same one.

For some reason I keep getting logged off when opening a new browser session. Looking at my ISP connection history, it doesn't look like my IP has changed during this time (a few times today).
That said, it is quite anoying when my IP changes and I need to relogin.
