Having just updated a phpbb board earlier this week, I have to say, it's a real pain in the ass that you have to update themes as well; and if you just take the latest versions then all the customization needs to be done all over. I can't believe that they haven't made it easier yet.Omphalos wrote:Been seeing some comments lately, so I guess it's time to do some forum maintenance. When I get to it sometime over the upcoming holiday I plan to:
Anything else that you monkeys want? Let me know and if its within our skill set, Ragabash and I will add it to the list.
- Add the nifty little format buttons (center, left justify, strikethrough, etc) just like the ones that Jo has added at T(A)U
Start a "Jacurutu assets" thread that links to our own db where we may upload/post the images, tools, etc that we are likely to use frequently here and at other sites
Update the board if needed
I'd like to see a "quick reply" form at the bottom of thread pages, but if you haven't inserted it already, I presume it is for a precise policy here on Jacurutu (and I can easily imagine its reason ), so don't count my suggestion.Omphalos wrote:Been seeing some comments lately, so I guess it's time to do some forum maintenance.

You're perfectly right, phpbb based themes are one of the nastiest things I had to cope with during DuneItalia last upgrade. All my solidarity goes to Omphalos and Ragabash, if they have to mess with them.Nekhrun wrote: Having just updated a phpbb board earlier this week, I have to say, it's a real pain in the ass that you have to update themes as well; and if you just take the latest versions then all the customization needs to be done all over.

Isn't the Quick Reply just a setting in the ACP? Enable Quick Reply?Omphalos wrote:We got some things done last night, but not an instant reply feature I'll keep hat in mind for the next upgrade.
I'm doing the Christmas tree in a few, but should have the banners posted before today is over.
Yes, in phpBB it is an ACP setting. Thanks Omphalos for considering this optionNekhrun wrote:Isn't the Quick Reply just a setting in the ACP? Enable Quick Reply?Omphalos wrote:We got some things done last night, but not an instant reply feature I'll keep hat in mind for the next upgrade.

Nothing, really. Though I did forget how picky some of you can be.Mandy wrote:yeah, quick reply is so easy even I know how to turn it on
BTW, WTF happened to T(A)U?

Mandy darlin', did you really think that a constructive way to address the hard work of people who are only trying to make the board better is to title a thread "WTF?" These guys have less experience then you do when it comes to running a forum. I happen to know for a fact that they spent just about all of Saturday and Sunday figuring it out, reading the threads and categorizing them. They're trying to do everyone a favor and make the board more useful. Even if you were unhappy, can't you see that you might have gone just a teensy bit off in the wrong direction in communicating said displeasure? I mean, did that that really not register?Mandy wrote:Omphalos wrote:Nothing, really.

I don't think I'm being picky...
Mandy wrote:I have no idea who did what, and don't know who the new admins are. I didn't mean to hurt their feelings... I thought you were still running T(A)U. Besides, I didn't see how titling a thread WTF? would have been out of place in the clubhouse, and I only asked what happened to the board and a big chunk of the posts. At the time I couldn't see any of the newer posts, and then there's the thread from a year ago that hasn't been posted in stickied, so I thought something went wrong and data had been lost.
Oh yes HE IS I can't change anything without his knowledge and explicit consent... His wish is my command,Mandy wrote:I thought you were still running T(A)U.
