Re: Run simple script when click quoted post link

Normal behavior is phpBB to scroll up until the quoted post ... I want to go up a bit further. I realize that you have your reasons for potentially making this change. As board admin that is your right. However I'll offer a counterpoint to changing normal or standard phpBB behaviour. Many of us are...

External link icons similar to Wikipedia

One user-friendly touch on Wikipedia is links to PDF documents display an icon at the end of the link, i.e. http://example.org/test.pdf //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Icon_pdf_file.png Source: Help:External link icons - Wikipedia Has anyone implemented something similar in phpBB's CSS...

Re: Media Embed plugin no installed as it should be

It does not appear in the list of BBcodes on the Posting/BBCodes page. (See attachment) The [media] [/media] tags are not custom BBCodes so will not appear there. See the text at the top. In your screenshot look further down the left hand side, there is a section for MEDIA EMBED . Click on Settings...

Re: Upgraded to 3.3.11 successfully but forum not loading

The fix the hosting company implemented worked I guess which was helpful. It might have solved the initial problem you were experiencing. However to create a blank "cron.html" in the specified location Sorry but that's NOT a proper solution. You should make sure you upload the styles/all/...

Re: Every post goes to an error page or a blank screen on phone.

I can view your site on my desktop with Edge. We are on 3.3.0 and just in the last week we are having issues with the site. Any chance your hosting provider changed the PHP version?

Re: Google search is not picking up correct URL

I hear you on making the corrections properly in .htaccess. For that you have to post the content of it first. Most likely it's set up wrong, so it just redirects to index.php instead of viewtopic.php . I have found the tool htaccess tester - madewithlove very helpful for offline testing/debugging ...

Re: Seeking Help: Unable to Hide 'Who is Online' and 'Statistics' Sections on phpBB Front Page

Yo don't need to be changing the core phpBB code (including HTML/CSS).

Instead take a look at the ACP->General->Load settings per the screenshot below:

Also take a look at phpBB • Hide Newest User And Statistics Permissions - Contribution Details.
