BBS Upgrade News
Okay, we're back in business!
Some things will need to be tweaked, but everything SEEMS to be working.
First off, your BBS style (theme) will have reset back to the default blue on white "prosilver" style. I did find updated versions of almost of all the styles we were using which are:
black
black_darkblue
latte (I think this one was for Darcy - the tan colored one)
ne_blackgreen
Click the down arrow with your name in the upper right and select the "User Control Panel" , then select the "Board Preferences" tab, then change "My Board Style" to whatever you want.
If there's style you want me to install, you can find more styles here:
//www.phpbb.com/customise/db/styles-2/3.3
Let me know which one and I'll be happy to install it.
If you have any problems, let me know.

Re: BBS Upgrade News
It was definitely fun and the documentation was not entirely "complete". Definitely looks good.

Looks like the ability to view image is broken?

Re: BBS Upgrade News
I'll have to look into the image issue. I know old image embeds in previous posts are working. Might be a posting permission issue.
I noticed also that links are not working right. The link I posted above for the styles page is excluding the http. I remember having similar issues when we first moved to phpBB. Will need to research or ask for help on phpBB support forum.

Re: BBS Upgrade News
Okay, the image and link issue is the same. The new BBS apparently doesn't want you to include the in the URL (but DOES want the '//' which is stupid, and there should be a way of fixing that. To get your image to work, I had to edit it as follows:
Same for page links. It only works with the URL BBcode and droppingn the 'http:'
I vaguely remember this being a security feature to prevent malicious code embeds.
Funny thing is that's not default, because searching their support forum shows people still using 'http' in their links on this version. I'll look into it, because that's going to be inconvenient as hell. I assume it affects all embeds including youtube and tweets.
EXEC:
What did you want to make wider in that page, Exec? Is it not expanding to fill the browser? If you picked the same style as before, it should look the same, except I've noticed minor changes to some of the icons.
There's a green version of the black style that might work better for you. I'll install that later.

Exec: I added the Black Green style, in case you like that better.

Re: BBS Upgrade News
Ok got it back to normal using the black/blue which makes it wider. I liked the green but it was not wide enough as it shows in my pic.

Re: BBS Upgrade News
the black/green is the same skin as black/blue, but with green instead of blue, if that matters.

Re: BBS Upgrade News
Thanks for the fix. Yeah the black/green now is wider than the other one - fills more of the screen width.

Re: BBS Upgrade News
No one on phpBB's forums have a clue about the URL issue.
This is, however, ringing a bell. I think we had a similar issue involving the web host having a spam filter that was blocking certain links and text in URLs when we migrated to phpBB from vBulletin, so I shot them a trouble ticket asking them if they had any spam blocking that might be causing the problem.
