Forum script issues as of July 2024

[Şerban S.]

I got your emails. We're using new software now - there's bound to be some annoyances/changes during migration. [...]

Thanks for replying!

As for the annoyances, there will be a ton of those. Just restoring the DBs, and it's enough headache. As for finding a match for the theme with some DB entries...

[...] Today's Posts [...]

Worked fine yesterday. Works fine today. So I guess it's OK.
"New Posts". Seems to work fine, also. i guess in a few days we'll know for sure.

[...] Rank icons fixed [...]

Yeah. Now they show OK. As I said, i had that issue some 2 or maybe more years ago and I figured it out.

Happpy coding!

I would also suggest everyone go through their profile and update their information.

I did it. Seemed obvious to me to do this in a new environment. I suppose I'l l have to check repeatedly. At least for the beginning.

One thing I've noticed. The signature says "only 255 characters" but throws an error message at about 230.
I tested a 245 chars string but it rejected the update. I don't find it critical, but it's good to know. (Afterall, we got Twitter sometime ago...)
I also suggest you check the post length. I had trouble with that. For whatever reason, the default is too short.
If someone needs to post a log excerpt and is somewhat long, might reject the posting. I got that on my forum before being ashamed by someone... Guess i was lucky!
