The Swamp

A song writing clinic in one masterpiece. One of my favorites to play on the Joycemaha because the 12-string guitar gives that rich deep sound and, yeah, that really is my vocal range. Down there. My tones. Lyrics below. Stan Rogers often started concerts with this song; small wonder, it is a real &...

Well, that one works. Evidently. Do you need the password for elflaco re-set?

I can re-set anything if need be, eh.

Thanks, Syb. Very much. Tonight's work was mostly on the server side. Rewrote a lot of older PHP code to bring it up to standard. Most of that was in the name of attempting to bring the databases to life. Yes, I have not given up on that yet. Also, there are literally hundreds of settings on the new...

I knew it! Well, I looked up the IP address. Thought of you last week, Señor 'Cakes, when we were visiting your hometown for the day. And I'll very likely be spending time in YVR, sporadically, over the next three months if you're up for a coffee (or if you want anything from the Isle). Did anyone g...

Excellent. Thanks. (Thanks, Hood) Working on a couple of other features this evening. A couple of them might not be obvious, efficiency mostly; I'm trying to clean up the server a bit. I dug a bit of a hole for myself installing the Green (Maxthon) theme as it turned out to be the most difficult sty...

Test:

I love me some tea. Not as much as coffee, mind you, but I do enjoy a hot cuppa now and then. While I only like milk or half & half in my coffee, I love my tea light and sweet. I like plain ole' Lipton, which is basically the same as English Breakfast tea, iirc. I believe Lipton (and Red Rose, ...

I just use a metal tea ball I don't even do that. Always felt that the water doesn't filter through the tea enough. I just put loose tea in a Bodum carafe. And, once steeped, I pour it into a cup through a small tea strainer. Or, if by chance you have an actual Chinese/Korean/Japanese tea pot, you ...

Granted, not all post on The Swamp anymore. Others possibly missing? Bengal? Oilcanboyd? Sportsdoc?

Which reminds me . . . Tom1860 and Monsieur Le French Guy might not know of this either.

ETA: And is DaveInSeattle around? MaxWebster? The divine Mr Kranepool?

Now there is a most welcome sight. Hello Tim. Welcome back, eh.

Can an admin post something back at the VB5 version sportsfrog dot net pointing people this way? Otherwise they have to make the jump to rushSwamp and then figure out from there that they should come here. I tried to post a "GO TO THE NEW FORUM/URL" thread and got that friggin' error mess...

Know of any Swampers that haven't found the place yet? If so, do you know a way to contact them to tell them about the new forum, new URL? It looks like this will be the permanent home for the immediate future at least. Just off hand . . . Bensell? Johnnie? BFJ? Coma? Pentagonz? I'm not sure because...

From: Nein. ‏@NeinQuarterly

I thought Google had already killed the reader.

You mean the two little squares in the upper left-hand corner? The squarish goatse and the conversation balloon? I was thinking of getting rid of it all together. Is it really necessary in the first place? It takes a dozen or more edits to each of the Styles to change its behavior. The other option ...

He's dead, Jim.

temporassy wrote:Anyway, are run of the mill users unable to create polls in the current forum? If I'm missing something obvious, go ahead and chalk it up to me being part Polish.

No. It's enabled.

At the bottom of your composition window, that's where you'll find the option(s) for poll thread creation.

Shirley wrote:I don't like that links open in the same tab. All of our previous boards sent links into new tabs, so I'm used to that.

Yeah. I addressed that earlier: viewtopic.php?p=218#p218

It's on the To Do list, for sure.

Well, we've got a 100+ post thread without it breaking. (Knocking wood, another deep sigh of relief).

I'm one boneheaded step ahead of you. It might not matter. I just suggested using "test" names as a precaution to avoid any conflicts when merging databases. It may not matter at all. Still a fair bit of unknown with the existing databases. It looks like vBulletin's software tweaked every...

And if someone can come up with a worthy slogan or tag-line to replace Here today, elsewhere tomorrow under The Swamp title masthead (up top), well, that would be peachy.

I just typed that one in to get rid of the default which was something obvious like "welcome to this forum".

You're most welcome. I hope you guys are enjoying our new home. It won't be much longer before we can all register with our traditional names and get back to business proper.

Not trying to nitpick, but should the minimum characters be "0". In case we want to make a post that is just an image? (Or does minimum characters include the PhpBB code to embed the image?) "1" is the minimum. PhpBB3 won't let the setting go any lower than that. I don't believe...

normalasian wrote:Niang hit the post . . .

That's also the sound it made.

Oh, I just realized that I have up to 60,000 characters to use per post. Wasn't vBulletin 10,000? I remember having to break up posts a few times to get them to fit. 60,000 is roomy. Yeah. I set it at 60,000 because I recall it was an issue a number of times where guys would post something lengthy ...

I could use as much feedback as possible on this. It's the biggest (and most complex) of the jobs to be done. Kindly chime in with anything that comes to mind on the matter. Thank you.

Funny you should mention that this particular evening. I saw the first eight episodes. Decent enough start, nothing brilliant, but better than the average trash. Now it's just average trash. It went from mildly intriguing to unwatchable bullshit in just under two months. That didn't take long.

Is there a method of having the title of the thread go to the last page of the discussion? I know that there are little page numbers to click on, but I'm a title clickin' man and not knowing how threads with 20+ pages are displayed it might be nipping a future problem in the bud. There is a way to ...

Maybe I'll have better luck if I force him to build a pyramid in my backyard.

Is there going to be a fix for the disjointed left margins? Some of us are way too anal retentive to tolerate it. I could fix it in a few seconds by restricting avatars to a smaller size but, as you know, everyone will start yelling about that instead of the table structure. So I can't win here. Gi...

Scottie finds out where you live, and eliminates you.

Yep. Catapult.

I'm good, thanks. I'll let you know when I'm done. After that, I'll hand it all over.

Another thing: You may have noticed that if you click on a link to an external website (say http://www.lonelyplanet.com) it will open in the same window in which you have The Swamp open. That's annoying. There is a fix for it but it will take a while. Meantime . . . whenever you do see an external l...

I dunno. I got one that clearly used autocorrect to change "You are a fine upstanding gentleman with a pleasant disposition" to "ur a fag".

Guess that's just a bug.

That's not a bug. That's a feature!

And thanks, Slolz.

Yeah. Not even close. If only it came in green.

As I said HERE. If you can find it, and it is compatible, let me know.

I think "subsilver" would be a better default since that is arguably what most of us are used to. I'll leave that question out there all day (or maybe until enough Swampers chime in). If that's the consensus, I'l switch the forum default style (late at night Pacific time). After all, if a...

I've tested the PM system as an admin but if a couple of y'all wouldn't mind sending test PMs to each other and then reporting back on your success (or any problems), that would be very helpful. Thanks.
