Topic: The generic "we did something to the forum that broke it" thread

Just uploaded some SotN avatars.

I'm going to use this skeleton picture. ::

didn't our usernames above our avatars to the left of our posts used to be color-coded based on "level" (e.g. administrator, moderator, etc.; so Deathlike2 was blue and Lenophis was red)?  now everybody's is orange.  i think i'm remembering right, anyway.

Weren't you the only orange? I never REALLY payed attention to this sort of thing.

[assassin]

almost.  i remember bond697 was a lighter shade of orange than me.

Upgrading to SMF 2.0 broke some color-coordinated things, so we've been kinda bland since that upgrade.

[assassin]

but your posts indicate you upgraded to SMF 2.0 on April 20, 2010.  i could swear we had color-coded usernames to the left of our posts until very recently.  far more recent than 10 months ago.

Since the server move:

Avatars and attachments did not work (now fixed).
Funky line going on with all themes (now fixed).

Report anything out of the ordinary.

[I.S.T.]

The Rank avatars are broken.

[Lenophis]

Don't know how, but the ranks weren't copied over, despite everything being buried in sub-directories. No reason why they shouldn't have been. Oh well, fixored. I'm thinking there was an easier way to set it, but oh well.

On this forum, there used to be tons of avatars to choose from. Now there are only a few that do not even work. Fix this please!

[I.S.T.]

I think you mean "Now there are only a few that even work." The words "do not" in that sentence make it seem like only a few are malfunctioning, while the rest of the sentence makes it seem otherwise.

I'm only correcting your grammar here as I know you're not a native speaker. I hope this is helpful for you.

[Jorgur]

No, I actually meant there are a few to choose from, but they appear to be broken.

 
Nvm, this seems to be fixed.

were there recent server changes?  mnrogar's is broken with the "Not able to open ./cache/data_global.php" message again.  one thing this does is prevent the Captcha from displaying, which we don't care about for new users since we're not currently accepting them anyway, but it IS an issue for existing users who forget their passwords for a handful of login attempts, because they will need a Captcha to get in after that.  and they're screwed if it doesn't display.

[Lenophis]

Well, something did happen, because I had no way of making any file changes to the site for the past month. DKK and Mnrogar had the same issues. I've been working so much that I wasn't able to bring it up with Hypher until this last week. Server permissions have been restored, at least.

[Lenophis]

So, we're back! And I may have broken everything in the process! I'm working on it! :p

I guess the one good thing that came out of this was the server database never had to be restored, since it was never destroyed at all.
