phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

The OP wants to bloat their post counts in the hopes that this will somehow attract more users to the forum. Sadly, others think this will work as well. Yes...the insanity of it all I tell you! I think insanity was the key word in your response, David. I'll leave this topic alone now, if I may...

Guys, I've read this and other topics on this problem start to finish, and can perhaps provide some clarity for users who are experiencing this problem. In my case (PHPBB3.0.2 running on a Win Server 2003 box), it was my mis-configuration of the permissions that was to blame. At first glance, every...

Thank you

Perhaps the OP can describe exactly what he is trying to achieve here...

I'm sure someone could help.

What is the point of keeping powered by phpBB text in phpBB2 boards? The support for us will end in a few days. :) 80% of the phpBB forums on the internet are phpBB2. I think all this people have to take out that text because the support is over for some time, just not official... But who ask help ...

I haven't been around here for a while due to other commitments.
I came back to check my active topics.

Maybe the server changes they made mean that mysqli no longer works with the new setup, whereas mysql does - in which case no change was made to your config.php file, but it needed changing to work with the new server setup

The fact that they suggested that fix would perhaps support that.

if you decide to try the solution in there.

Hiya all, I have tried to search the forums for a way to implement "code snippet" BBCode. You know the exact same code used for the [ code] [/ code] thing. Maybe I'm not typing the correct name for the BBCode. Can anyone help please? On my own forums it seems to just appear like a quote and has no ...
