. . . not exactly.

So "steve" might be "test_steve"
Or "The Sybian" might be "Sybian_test"

. . . and so on.

Why? Just in case. That's why. It's to avoid a possible conflict with your actual usernames that I'm not into explaining at the moment.

Thank you.

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.

PMs seem to be working just swimmingly.

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.

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 link, right-click and "open" it in a new window. Or new tab. It seems like you can just navigate back to The Swamp after viewing an external site in the same window without getting logged-out but it's worth opening external sites in external tabs/windows just to save the hassle.

I'll get on that, too, in time.

Rut-row. So, this is why you should read to the bottom of all of the questions before answering.

I'm sure I can come up with some other dairy based username, if I have to.

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".

First of all, frogse is awesome.

Second, Scottie can we make the phpbb icon up there click through to the board instead of the list of boards? There's really no reason to go back to that board listing, because we only have one board.

Post by **admin** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 1:32 pm

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 (preferable) is to change the images to something else (suggestions welcome) and, yes, have the link go directly to: viewforum.php?f=2

I thought it was pretty funny, especially for the Temp forum. Frogse is tremendous, but guaranteed to scare of new Swampers. Maybe not, hell, that is too damned funny. Rass, how long were you sitting on that picture, just waiting for the right moment to spring it?

It may be a different image in other skins. In subsilver2, there is a phpbb icon ("creating communities") in the upper left. It's a handy link to get back to the main page, except that it goes back to the forum list instead. I think I remember changing that on my board back in the day.

I'm more concerned about who that wouldn't scare off.

NOTE: External links should open in a new window/tab now.

Test: Lonely Planet <-- with [url] tags
Test: http://www.cbssports.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; <-- without [url] tags
Test: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; <-- because we use it so much (I'll work on embedding video next)

. . . if you find links are still opening in the same (Swamp) window, empty your browser cache(s).

That coding took way longer than I planned on it taking. Way friggin' longer.

REPORT: any problems and so on.
