Site Admin Update

[govmentchedda]

Anybody else having problems seeing embedded tweets lately?

I did some more investigation and found that it's the LastPass Chrome Extension that's breaking it. Hopefully they'll fix it soon, because I kinda need that one. https://community.logmein.com/t5/LastPa ... m-p/291536

Really? That seems odd, but I'm definitely not getting rid of LastPass.

While I have you all here, I do need to update the board at some point. We aren't way out of date, but it's best to stay updated. I'll probably try to do it this weekend. If you notice things down for a bit, just try again later.

Are we good on funds?

I might need to pass the hat in late 2023, pending on whether or not the last increase was a one-time bump our not. But, we're more than good for a while unless something unforeseen happens.

Board looks drunk, by the way. So... apt.

Things you learn when you switch browsers....the Swamp 404s when by default the browser goes to https:// ....which can be confusing when not paying attention.

Yeah, we've never had a certificate.

I'm going to update our phpbb version here in a few minutes. You might notice the site down for a bit. Hopefully just a bit...

[Shirley]

Backing up the DB is taking longer than I thought. I'll do the update later today when it's done. I'll update our extensions as well, including the media extension.

[Shirley]

Done. Let me test to see if the new Media Embed extension supports x.com links ...

Update: It does not. Let me look into that...

Just switch "x" to "twitter."

I bet that it's the site itself that won't let you because when I copy the link to share, it still says "twitter."

I think the point is Shirley was trying to fix that workaround n

Exactly. I'm more than a little surprised that they haven't fixed that since it's been x.com for quite a while now. Just goes to show that phpbb ain't exactly the most popular of boards these days.

It’s tough to fix stuff when you force half your staff into quitting.

[Shirley]

I'm gonna update the board in a bit and see if I can't install a new media embed plugin. Things might be locked and/or janky for a few...

[Shirley]

Test



Yep, x.com links work now (if we still care).

[Shirley]

Bluesky test:

Nope, not yet.

[Shirley]

How about now?



Aw yeah!

[Sabo]

How about now?



Aw yeah!

Works, but that post is wrong on many levels.

[DSafetyGuy]

Thanks, Shirley.

[Johnnie]

Awesome. Thanks, man!

[rass]

Thanks man!

Been an uptick in spam accounts in posts this week. I've been deleting/banning but not sure if something from the upgrade left a new opening, or unplugged an old one?

I hadn't noticed. I'll take a look.

[Shirley]

Everything looked right, but I just went and changed up the enrollment quiz questions. I need to do that a few times year. The bots get smart.

[rass]

nice, thanks

I've opened a support ticket about the site slowness and errors I've been seeing lately. I assume I'm not the only one who's getting them.

Oddly enough, it's now working quite well for me. Maybe they already fixed it.

During this visit, it has been slow to open threads, but otherwise fine, save for this, which I don't recall ever get while trying to open a thread (the investments one).

I’m getting lots of Too Many Requests messages.
