anyone else getting this message when trying to post?

just trying now

nope. How frequent?

all the time and i also get (when i've only just logged in) "you'r last post from this IP address was under 10 seconds ago. Please try again" or some bollox similar and i've only just logged in

Sounds like it's a session thing. Remove all cookies relating to the TEF, which is ace and easy if you use Firefox, and login via login link in the header, as opposed to the form on the front page, and see how that does you.

i've done my cookies and relogged in and nothing

You're having issues as well Whits? And it's not sorted after clearing the cookies?

Oh. I'll have a gander and see if i can find out what's wrong. (This feels like one of those moments like when your car breaks down and you open the bonnet even though you don't actually know fuck all about cars or what is wrong.)

You just reset something baz? I had to put my password in again.

me too, he must have

Tried too, but there's a few errors kicking around in the backend, as you're aware. It obviously had some kind of effect though and if it did, everyone would have been kicked out.

I think i'm gonna have to do something i've put off for months and rebuild and upgrade the forum.

Can you partition it into smoking and non-smoking sections please?

Don't let any LnP people go anywhere near section decisions.

I think we should put down news monkey.

Ah, thanks Ben. That reminded me that I need to add some more.

'Most Embarrassing Fart'
'Items Found in Your Navel'
'Most Ambivalent Away day'
'Train Spotter's Wankfest'.

Don't forget.

Suggest a Section
Not sure which forum your post should go in? Suggest a new one here. Ace.

I'm probably going to wipe the slate, depending on what seems best. I can shoot the news monkey if you want Ben?

I'm gonna get Ajax IRC chat, which might be good for matchdays, along with some kind of agree/thanks button, so people can click a button to make people special and stuff.

I'm also going to sort out integrating the prediction league in a better way, and to add a few new themes, to give people a choice, afterall, i'm probably the only person who doesn't actually use the main theme because it's width annoys me. :)

I was thinking about making only the first post in a thread visible unless you're logged in, you know, force everyone to post again, not sit around reading.

And it's all smoking only TT.

I used to use the theme which everything has just changed too until I demodded myself. It's all just changed to SMF default or whatever it's called.

leave the news monkey alone, i know hes late, but it means i can just look here on my lunch break to get an overview of the days headlines, hate going on this is

Sweet, just realised I can change the theme :)

The blue one works much better for sneaky browsing at work :D

It is though David. There's a few things that need to be done and there's a fault in the forum which prevents in happening, not to say the xxx,xxx errors it causes every few weeks. :) The attached picture shows 24,000+ pages of 15 errors a page from Nov 20.


It's just changed to the default. Oops, that was me allowing everyone to change their theme. :)

I know I suggested this before, but can we make the news monkey's posts not appear on the recent thread list on the main page? Actually I think I even made up some hacked together php which wouldn't have worked.

Its ok, i just wanted to post that picture

We probably can. Baby steps Benjamin. I've barely touched a button apart from ban for months. I'm gonna book it into my none existent diary and spend a few days dedicated to TEf correction, cleaning and what not.

might want to delay the update for a bit as they will be releasing v2 of SMF fairly soon

normal theme has come back.

They've been on RC2 for ages haven't they? I can't believe there's not a full release by now.


Yeah, i reset everyone to the old theme, but made the other 2 available to them. Although i think their could be 4, one of which is an unmodded version of the original. I think.

Not sure, just looked on the website and it was talking about almost going gold but didn't see the date that was

I'm wrong, looks like RC2 has only been out since 8th of November. Maybe gold will be out soon then.

Sweet, I love the style of the tef theme, but if I'm honest I like the simplicity of the default one. It helps that it makes everything smaller.

Oh yeah, the default core or default red (which are identical apart from colour) are a million times better. I never changed it to the default for all, because with all the upheaval of the whole forum being moved, i thought that then switching theme would be one more thing to fuck people off. Let sleeping dogs lie and all that.

love you Dave

There's one piece of open source I use, they've been promising the next version "any day soon" for over two years now but its still in "release candidate". I reckon hell will freeze over before they get it out.

Oh yeah, they've had various versions of 2 out for a long time, but this appears to be the final release candidate, so fingers crossed it's finally in the post.
