A Wizard, A Buddha, A Badger and A Hobbit walk in ....

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Fri May 10, 2013 12:38 am

If the heavens align, hell freezes over, politicians stop lying, a solar eclipse occurs etc

the Marches meet in shropshire may well lead to all four currently active admins being together in the same place at the same time....

Not in any way official or any of that old squit, but if we get a chance, i reckon we would like to hear folks views - as in what we could change, do differently etc

yes we could do it by forum - and please do speak up at the back! but as it looks like there could be a fair few folk there it would be good to get some thoughts off folks

how ever, if i see a bonfire being built and assorted "burn the admin" T shirts being sold... was not my idea guv.....

The very slight issue I have... and I say very slight... when I go on the forum it shows in Orange the new posts... but, if I close the page by accident then the forum assumes I've read them and I've got to look at times to figure out what I've read.... on af forum they don't change back until I have actually read them... Can this be sorted?

I think, and the hobbit may be able to solve this one, that we are still using an older version of PHP and that means it acts as you describe.....

Cathcart - Must be something to do with how the current version of phpBB handles sessions.

If phpBB were to be upgraded, it might solve that issue.

We could probably do a lot more with the site that we currently are.

I would love it if the logo was changed.

At least I know that you all know what causes this... php to me makes no sense. I'll assume it means something about protocol but a don't know... I'm far from a computer whizz.

The logo is aswell being a falco... let's be honest, this is the uk falco site...

Thanks lads.

Have you got your user settings to "show new posts only"

Negatory, Ghostrider.. :smt002

It's two sites in one.

I am aware of and can get the templates and similar changed..theyre dead easy to do.. however i go thru the old site owner/admin for that and she's a tad out of date with php.
See the rs logo.. top of the forum.. I had plans for 3 versions of the user selectable site style in varying colours.. RS, ARS and a Flakko specific one but at the moment that hasnt come to fruition.

Duly noted though.

Kwakerz,

If you need a hand with anything, let me know.

I am a web developer after all...
