To quote our Fearless Leader.....
If you can read this, then we've successfully installed phpBB!
You should be able to log in, but in this case, the checkbox "Remember me" is
not checked by default. Be sure to check that box so that your cookie will be permanent.
Any problems, you know where to report 'em!

Hiya Oddysey!
Now I have to get to work (Fixing Emoticons, doing minor touchups on the templates, add some mods, fix usergroups...)
At least we're up and running! (Sad that it took me 5 hours to do the whole thing
Kye-U;
Saw that you were logged in at the same time, didn't figure you were just waiting for someone to come trippin' along.....
Noted so far:
Sometimes smilies don't inject when clicked.....
Signature code for anything over and above plain text gets mangled (see my color statement). I attempted to renew my signature in My Profile, but that didn't seem to take hold.
Avatar images are missing. I'm gonna try uploading my new one in a moment. If you still don't see it, then you know that somehow the uploading of images for avatars is not yet working.
Assuming I'm still an admin, I don't see any options at the bottom of the page when I'm posting a reply, or whatever. Did that whole feature set change for phpBB? Or has it just not yet been implemented? <insert smilie here>
I'll keep reporting!
Oddysey
I'm punching in lots of numbers at the moment.
I'm focusing more on users and their permissions and status.
I think I'm going to have to install a few mods to get phpBB acting the way I want it
BTW, the smilies inject for me
Did you try bypassing Proxomitron?
Oh, I'll have to do something about the redirection page as well :twisted:
Kye-U;
No, the smilies still don't work for me. They did in my first posting, that created this thread, but not now. Bypassing Proxo has no effect. (Perhaps because I have this site in the Bypass list anyway? <chortle>
Obviously my avatar update went OK. <g>
Yeah, you just went and changed as many links as you could find, and now you
get to start all over again. <no grin on that one>
Oddysey
Kye-U;
I see that we won't be bowing down to Shea anymore! Is there no line item for inserting a short blurb next to the avatar image, like there was in the previous incarnation? (If so, then I'm blind - I don't see anything like it in My Profile.)
And while we're talkin' about that kind of stuff, I see that Location is turned on, but not Interests or Occupation. Might be worth a giggle or two to have those turned on, don't ya think? <still no smilie>
Oddysey
I've installed the Custom Title mod
(Among a billion other mods)
Still a trillion more to go, but we're getting there!
EDIT: I'm done for today. (4:16 am)
I've:
-removed the redirection after posting a message
-added lots of MODs (Quick Reply Box, Attachments, Custom Title, Today/Yesterday, and much, MUCH more :P)
-beefed up security
-made it so that the "Log me in automatically" box is AUTOMATICALLY CHECKED
To do:
[s:6a7237baa2]-fix smilies[/s:6a7237baa2]
[s:6a7237baa2]-fix signature HTML code[/s:6a7237baa2] (Well, you have to update your signatures yourself
)
-add logos for TUOPF on all of the styles
[s:6a7237baa2]-fix "The Un-Official Proxomitron Forum Forum Index"[/s:6a7237baa2]
-And more...
Kye-U;
Nice job so far!
And as you can see, I can now insert smilies at will. Wheeee! :lol:
Oddysey
Thanks Oddysey
A brand new day = more fixes done. (Or soon to be done...haha)
EDIT: Say hello to our old smilies
(Still need to find a replacement pack since our old Invision smilies show some white.)
Found one!
So far, in the 2 hours I've been awake I've:
-fixed the "Forum Forum" glitch in the headers
-fixed Oddysey's signature (For more information on the use of BBCode, read
this page)
-added a nice collection of smilies
-created the "Premium" usergroup (to still acknowledge those few members who gave something extra)
-installed a few MODs
To do:
-add a banner to each of the styles (I'll do this at the end since this requires my creative side >:) )
-get a grip on the user groups and permissions and all that fun stuff
-Things that you guys find/need/want
Not so fast Oddysey, look under my name
. And Kye-U, could you make the signature size what it was at the old forum. I could barely fit any of my signature in. And when you used the converter, it didn't make the signatures in forum code, it had them all in HTML, so for those of you that want to change your signature, you're going to have to convert it back to forum code.
I've set it to 1000 characters; is that enough?
(Before it was set to 255)
Yeah, it seems to fit my whole sig in now.

Well, yeah, your sig now looks fine. Perhaps you didn't log in Wednesday evening, when Fearless Leader first started converting over. I must have been one of the very first members to log in and find the conversion!
At that time, your analysis of BBCode versus HTML code was correct. Any signatures containing BBCode (or HTML) displayed incorrectly. Obviously, Kye-U has fixed them in the interval between then and now.
BTW, once again, it appears that I can insert/inject smilies wherever my cursor is located; they aren't forced to the end of all text. Most cool!
Oddysey
You were one of the very first members to log in...you posted this topic before me
Right now I'm working on the paFileDB portion of TUOPS, adding the downloads from the Download portion of the site, since the anti-leech script is defective (making all downloads unavailable).
