Nein - as in I don't see the point to a thread like this other than to goose post counts. Sorry folks but I'm closing this one.

5839 email messages were sitting on the host's server. Most were spam, but many were undeliverable errors. I cleaned them all out. I also ran maintenance on the database which needed some attention. Hopefully that will take care of these PM demons.

As you might have guessed, I don't come around much anymore. Usually just long enough to put up snowflakes and back up the database. There's probably a backlog of messages on the webserver that are being sent to invalid email accounts. People come and go here, and the email addresses in their profil...

You answered your own question. You are trying to use an avatar larger than the 100x100 50k limits. It used to be that users could point their avatar to a URL and get around the size limits set on the board here. The latest version of the phpBB software changes the way the "Upload Avatar from a...

What you are seeing there is called the Welcome screen. Go into the control panel, then user accounts. In there under "pick a task" you should see an option that says "change the way users log on or off". Click that and you will see a screen labeled "select logon and logoff ...

I was talking to cloud and he locked up and I was backpaging to the forum when the notice page popped up. That's interesting. Cloud is intensive on the database. I may have to clone him onto a test machine and look at what kind of impact he's having. I may have to look at migrating the database awa...

Maiko, that comment was not meant to be aimed directly at you so please don't take it as such. Please understand that I work my ass off to build, move, and maintain this forum.

The speakeasy is not an all-exclusive club, nor is it a forum for bashing people, and I wish questions about things/features/unknowns could be raised in a civil tone rather than crying foul. the speakeasy is an unmoderated forum. No rules. No moderators. No restrictions. The masses demanded a place ...

If I may offer a solution. There's a feature installed here called contact management. You can find it by clicking the link "buddylist" under the banner. Using this tool you can do one of three things: 1. Set another user as a "buddy". This will give you a little popup window whe...

I can look around for something like that. Some of you might remember the RPG hack that was on Beta a couple years ago. It showed different D&D style characters below the location field below the avatar and gender.....etc. There's plenty of room in that area to add a few lines. I will dig around...
