Yes to this.

I installed this, let me know if it works for you:

Trump has more supporters than all other Republicans combined. Trump/Desantis 2024 and that makes you furious.

Trump-Hawley would be pretty solid too, but Desantis is growing on me for sure.

Being a fiscal conservative is not a prerequisite for being a republican voter (just as being a living American citizen is not a prerequisite for being a democratic voter). Interesting note though. 15% of republicans have a positive view of socialism (compared to 65% or republicans) from recent poll...

Should be enabled now, I think.

Current to do list:

(1) Spambot countermeasures
(2) Tagging (or similar system)
(3) Thanks (or similar system)
(4) Display thread starter on mobile
(5) Banners

I'll try and work on this.

Is the poster tagging working? Doesn’t look like it but maybe it’s just a different style. Not yet, but I might try installing this one: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/simple_mentions/ It's for 3.2.x (we're on 3.3.x) and a lot of the database issues we had on the old site were because...

Looks like there are still a lot of spambots. That's the next thing we need to figure out. The current anti-spam measures aren't working.

Okay fixed that issue. Lots of sloppy stuff in the database. Also had to delete and recreate this "ACP_CAT_DOT_MODS" module. Again, seems the "thanks" mod was the culprit. I also installed the two mods LMD mentioned earlier in the thread: Advanced BBCode Box phpBB Media Embed Plu...

I'm going to add back some mods (or I guess they call them extension now), but first it looks like we have to work out the issues with a bad install from the thanks mod. I get this error: "General Error Cannot find module ./../includes/acp/acp_thanks.php BACKTRACE FILE: (not given by php) LINE:...

Okay, I installed those two as well.

https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/prosilver_dark/ - this theme looks decent https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/black/ also this I installed prosilver dark, people should be able to change it in the UCP. It lets me set it as the default but that doesn't seem to change the board appearan...

I just changed the spambot countermeasure setting from the default to a different one. Hopefully it'll help filter out some of the bot accounts.

Carl, I think I enabled it. Try re-linking it now.

I'm not sure why your avatar didn't transfer.

What's odd is that I made a backup of the server prior to updating, and there is no avatar for your username. Maybe since it was an external link something else needs to be done to re-enable that. I forget if it was a mod or permission or something.

I'll check out the stuff you guys linked earlier in the thread later.

Something interesting is that there seems to be a notifications panel built in now. The control panel lets you choose settings. I'm going to have to research the mention extension.

Not really digging the new style, but it’s just good to be back. I thought we were done for good. https://media2.giphy.com/media/l0Iy69RBwtdmvwkIo/source.gif It's only temporary. This is the default style. We had a couple of others (this is prosilver I think, other is subsilver or vice versa, and w...

This is the link to the extensions database. Hopefully we can restore some functionality via these: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extensions-36 We'll add some themes first this week, at lease one or two. Then we can restore things like the mentions system and thanks and embedding. If there are ...

Apologies for the downtime. I hadn’t checked the site in a few weeks and received an email from KUB Saturday afternoon. I’m not much of a programmer so it took me a while to figure out what was wrong, and HostGator’s assistance was kind of useless. After speaking to two people, I found out that they...
