The Swamp

Hey folks. Your friendly Swamp Admin here.

As you might have noticed, there's been a small change around here. The Pope has graciously stepped aside - presumably to "minister" to wayward sinners and nuns - and I'm here now.

There are three Swampers with Admin rights to this board - Shirley, Howard ...

I'm now going to un-stickyness thisness.

And . . . The Swamp is now what it always should have been, functionwise. As I said from the start, rebuild and then hand it off. That then is now.

Trust your Mods. They're good guys; smart guys. Anything arises for you, consult them.

행운 Haeng Un.

I may be moving there in a couple of months.

The stars are aligning, eh?

Done. You're good to go.

A partir de maintenant, LeFrenchGuy est That French Guy.

Done.

They are. But by the time anyone hits that many posts we'l likely have moved on to different ranks, methinks.

Sure thing. Done. Looks good on ya', too. (Your password and settings will remain the same)

Johnny Carwash and Shrew are now good to go.

There ya' go.

wul_lax6 done. kranepool done. How the hell did you get banned? That's bizarre.

Done

OHIOCPA is now HDO45331.

I probably should have posted the instructions in this thread in the first place. But I was using the announcement thread to give everyone a heads up on progress and developments.

Anyway . . . RTFM:

Given that "Test Ride the Sybian" is an immaculately cool username in the first place, I can make any changes you wish. Just lemme know.

Meant to mention earlier that this Swamp works well on a Kindle Fire.

Thank you. Didn't even occur to me to check this on the Kindle we have. Thank you very much for that input.

The forum default style is "subsilver2". Maybe you're looking at "prosilver"? Also known as the "other blue one ...

bapo! it is. And it really shouldn't be any other way.

Done.

Done.

Report problems. And so on.

Sure thing.

You should be good to go as Rush2112 now.

No. Sadly, he hasn't. And a Swamp without Gilbert Perreault is, well . . . ah, he's always been swishy like that.

Keg wrote:Can you please change my handle to 'Keg'?

Logging out now...

Done. There ya' go.

As usual, kindly report any issues.

rex is now Rex.

And anyone that wants their account adjusted, you have another day or two.

Bear in mind that all along I intended to hand-off the Administration of this place once it had its feet on solid ground again.

That is, frankly, a discussion we should collectively have. PhpBB3 is a different sort of ...

It did not merge my former posts or my profile stuff but I've got it fixed now.

Thanks again Scottie. You da man.

No, it was never going to merge the accounts. I just disabled one and edited the other. So you should have your real, as it were, email account associated with your Swamp account now ...

Is it a problem if I re-registered with all smaller case letters and the original Rex in the database has a capital R?

Not as far as I can see.

Did you want me to change your main account to an upper-case "R"? If so, same drill. Tell me, log out, pause, wait for confirmation, log back in.

ETA ...

AND . . . anyone else that wants the same account name change done, just post here. It only takes a couple of minutes.

BSF21 wrote:Scottie,

I'll give you the go ahead. Logging out now

Okay, I disabled BSF21 and changed testBSF21 to BSF21. In that order.

Please try logging in as BSF21. It will be the same password.

Thanks, Scottie. Please proceed. I will logout in one minute.

Alright. That's changed. Note the upper-case "S" in your username. You can see that all of your previous posts now say "Sabo".

If, for any reason, you can't log back in, my gmail address is sportsfrog.scottie at gmail dot com.

So you would delete BSF21, then change the name of testBSF21 back to BSF21?

Yes. Disable, not "delete". Everything you posted will still be there.

If you want, give me a go-ahead and then log OUT of everything. I'll post an "it's fixed" message immediately upon making the changes.

I can do it in a heartbeat, sure. But you know that I'll have to disable BSF21 first, right?

Grrrr-rah. Sir, yes, sir.

Obas wrote:Same thing for me. Or can you just change my account from Obas to Sabo?

Yep. As I just posted in reply to BSF21, let me try it on my Le Scottie account first. If that works, I'll post a "how to".

Huge thanks to Scottie for getting this back up and going again.

One quick question. I registered my normal username again but I had to give it a fake email because I guess it will only let you register one email on the board. Any way to delete my test account so I can use my main email on my main ...

Good idea. I'll look at it today.

User Control Panel > Profile > Edit Avatar.

That ought to get you there, mate.

Might as well start registering proper user names. Have at it.

I hit my own self-imposed deadline so I must be true to it.

When the database(s) do get connected, in whatever fashion(s), there should not be any conflict regarding usernames. Best I can tell; the issue is not the data but the ...

Nah. That's just not cricket.

Good to see Pat Metheny has bought a new shirt for his concerts.

Y'know those (that?) shirts that Metheny wears all the time, right. The black/white stripe French shirt. I call them Russian submarine shirts. Anyway, I like them. They look really comfortable. Plenty of room for moving and grooving ...

If you have any problems, any at all, send me a PM and I'll fix it. Or, if you can't log in for any reason, you can get me by email at sportsfrog.scottie (at) gmail dot com.

And I believe we follow each other on Twitter as well. So there's that as back-up, too.
