Board Maintenance

Post by **Shirley** » Sat Aug 13, 2022 8:06 am

It's about to start!

Post by **Shirley** » Sat Aug 13, 2022 8:53 am

I'm done! The one thing I know is broken is the Profile Side Switcher extension. It hasn't been updated doesn't work on this version of PHPBB. We can either leave profiles on the right, like most phpbb boards, or I can get another extension that will let us switch it.

Can someone test posting to see if it works for you?

I've posted twice (now thrice!), also in NFL Offseason and Site Admin threads.

ETA: Works fine, as best I can tell.

I got notifications for the last three posts (post-update), when I normally only got them for responses to my posts. I think I fixed the setting within my user control panel now though.

Yeah, it may be that there were some small changes like that between PHPBB 3.1 (our previous version) and 3.3 (the new hotness).

Is the avatars on the right some sort of statement?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:21 am

We're pivoting!

This is jarring.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:58 am

Yeah, is there an option to switch the view back the other way?

Reading left-to-right makes me have to judge the content of a post on its own merit rather than prejudging based on who posted it, which sucks.

This. x1000.

I’m not seeing this yet on my phone so I guess that’s good for as long as it lasts but we’ll otherwise just mandate that everyone start every post by explicitly introducing themselves or reposting their avatar.

My phone is fine but computer was flipped.

Just wait until the first time this asshole has to attack from the right.

Seems like we're working again. Sorry for the troubles. I was at our company conference, so it was bad timing for me to be checking on and fixing things.

BTW, it's not totally clear what the problem was. There's a setting on our website admin control panel where you can choose what version of PHP to use. It looked correct to me (set to use 7.4), but the site claimed it was using 5.6, which isn't supported. So, I tried switching it to 7.3 and that made it work right away. I then changed it back to 7.4 - exactly as it was 30 seconds earlier) - and it still worked. Not really sure why that needed doing, but essentially I jiggled the switch and that did the trick.

Thanks DaveShirley and thanks everyone else for keeping the conversation going while the site was down.

Hey Shirley and Carwash: Now that you guys resuscitated the Swamp, can you get started on Twitter? Thanks.

Sincerely,

Grateful Swamper

Thanks, Shirley.

I, for one, am interested to see how posting habits here might change if Twitter does go in the tank.

Shit, man, the front may come back.

And who's to say that wouldn't include a widget with scores?

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Fri Nov 18, 2022 10:40 am

Do we need to do a Venmo thing to help with upkeep of the site?

I know it's not really related, but if someone is paying hosting/maintenance fees, seems like the collective could throw $5 a pop and cover it. Seems fair... (I hung out on another message board for many years and chipped in to cover hosting fees for that one... Not a big deal.)

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Fri Nov 18, 2022 10:46 am

I would be up for that.

We've reached the point where the PayPal account will need some donations before next September to keep things rolling. It currently has $299.06 in it and the annual fee paid two months ago was $322.74.

Drop some cash at Rass's house next time you're stalking.

Or I can hand a $10 to his kid next time we're at Tiff's. "Give this to your dad. He'll know what it means."

You cheap bastard. I'll give $11, easy.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Fri Nov 18, 2022 11:32 am

I have Venmo and Paypal in case anyone (but not Cash app) needs to donate but cannot.

Thanks Dave. I was blowing up Brian's phone yesterday when I woke up, forgetting until I hit send that he's 3 hours behind.
