phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

well I finally bit the bullet and chanced the overdue upgrade and followed the instructions found here and got a huge red background error. Now, close to time to go down for the night I'm desperately trying to avoid the nasty emails for those that feel it should not happen. Least the board is really...

I had a HUGE influx of mostly russian spam today. The Q&A seems to be the main key in slowing down the spam to a trickle. I think I'll make it a monthly task to change my Q&A questions, as it's probably been a few months since I changed the answers. I haven't been here in quite some time, b...

Don't know about an add in or if this helps, but I went in to ACP > Posting > BBCodes and added one called YouTube. BBCode usage: [youtube]{SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube] HTML Replacement: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/...

Same as you show.

You know in the shower I was thinking.... even though I don't know that I made any changes with all my floundering through the ACP, if it were to get solved, it wouldn't be retroactive.... or would it?

Ugh, too many hours on this while a holiday! Hey, that's the same for all you.

Going to step away, but I look forward to more input.

A user's permissions are always set to No by default. They get their permissions from their groups. ^^^YES! Thank you and that is what I've been understanding all along, however it seems that the group permissions are not over writing the settings and allowing proper permissions in the forums. :evi...

sorry, I shouldn't have said username. click on the permission mask for forum based permissions. in the look up user box, look up a user that is having this problem. click on view permissions. on the next page choose a forum where this problem is on the next page click on the actions tab on that pa...

I'm wondering why forum permissions look right, the group (registered users) forum permissions look right, but the Users' forum permissions are all defaulting to "No" and it's trumping everything else???

use the permission mask and choose that user and that permission click on the little icon beside the username and that will tell you where the permission are coming from. robert Thanks, but I don't see anything in the mask area that looks out of place, or where I can click besides someone's name. J...

two more...

In case this is of importance, I am noticing that in Forum Permissions, all the settings are correct to my liking.
In the groups forum permissions, they too are as I want.
But in Users' Forum permissions, everyone comes up "No" for their settings. Arrgh!

I haven't posted here in a while so bear (bare?) with me. I'm still running 3.0.8 as I just haven't had the time to upgrade. I like to edit the code as to not overwrite custom tweaks. Either way, it's been running without a hoitch so if it ain't broke.... My issue that I just noticed was when a regi...

thanks for the reply. yes the mods get emails as they can manage users. I just figured it out. I had to use my gmail server info to get mass emails to function correctly and when I changed my password due to possible security issues, it broke the site's ability to email as well. Took me a while to f...

I know that I am running 3.0.8 and should move up to 3.0.10, I just need to set aside time to do it via code changes. However, I don't see why I'm having the issue I am from not updating. It seems that there were three (that I know if) potential new members that tried to create new accounts, but I, ...

then set them to show there as well.

I have no idea why they set it up this way with two different places you have to set it in.

Thanks!

If you have created the custom profile field and it doesn't display you have either not selected the correct visibility option when creating it or you haven't enabled the display ACP > General tab > Board features > Display custom profile fields in user profiles = Yes (if you want that as well) Dis...
