phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Background... We use the Q&A spambot countermeasure. In that we ask for a authorization code which is posted on a thread in the public viewable forums. I need to include a link to that thread in the question part. I have tried using html and bbcode but they get parsed as typed (they are not clic...

It also needs to be changed in /includes/functions_user.php You're responding to a 4.5 year-old post? Does it really matter how old it is as long as it is still a valid question and still applies? Is the negativity really necessary? I answered this because I was having the same issue and could not f...

Oh, right. I misunderstood. And can I set the PM pop-up box to default? You can change this by changing the default value in the database in the phpbb_users table. To my knowledge there isnt a way to do it via the acp. There might be an easier way but dont know. The pm pop up is in the user_options...

Never mind, got it working anyway using what I posted above. Thanks for the help.

If I change this line in MAGIC_URL_LOCAL ...

Would that solve my problem without causing any other problems?

The code/url tags are not going to work for the objective here. I got to have this so that a post can be directly copied from the thread and pasted into an email. Using the code/url tags will screw that up. I am figuring it is in this section here (MAGIC_URL_LOCAL) but not exactly sure what to chang...

How do I disable links that point back to another thread front being shortened? I am not talking about long links to outside sites where it puts the "..." in there. I am talking about links to the same forum where it drops the url and only shows the page. Like... http://www.phpbb.com/commu...

Thanks Kevin for all of your time and help.

Been away from phpbb for a little while, now gotta figure this new system out.

thanks kevin, but is there a way to get rid the sid in the url altogether?

changed it as you requested and cleared all cookies and cache. still doing it.

the forums here do it too. right now as i type the reply the url has a sid in it.

URL: http://forums.domain.net I get it when I logout and the page refreshes it pops up there as well as when I login and the page refreshes. If I click on any of the links there it goes away until I click logout. My cookie settings are as follows... cookie domain: .forums.domain.net cookie name: use...

I changed my cookie settings as instructed however I am still getting the sid in the url of some pages. Is there something else I need to do to get rid of it?

that just tells a little about how to search. sorry i think i already how to do that. ;) However it says nothing about any 500 server internal error. Even if it were too many results it should not do that. i did try a different search term and did work. the developers should work on this issue as th...

when searching here using the "Search for any terms or use query as entered" option we are getting 500 errors. It has done this everytime out of about 5 tries. Anyway thought you should know so it can be fixed.
