AOK Forum - The Prop Den

It looks acceptable, but I'm not seeing how it fixes the issues we are having.  Also... if we make the switch, will the URL for the forum change?  How will people then be able to find it?

[ForumMate]

I would keep the same url and just changing out. So the normal PHPBB is not fixing any issues? If that is the case i guess no reason to change anything and just leave it as is...

[NoHumorMan]

Well, many of the issues deal with when posting.

But it didn't fix that forum section from not showing posts.  We haven't tried uploading avatars to the new one to see if that works.  And we really have no way of testing these things on the new one you made... so we cannot see if it fixed those issues.

[NoHumorMan]

Oh, I wanted to post this picture... but then I tried adding a new reply to the section and the "no post" thing went away.  So I guess this wasn't an issue at all and just not me realizing that if the latest post is too far back... it doesn't list anything in that column.  One issue gone, then.

[NoHumorMan]

But how can we test if the new software allows upload of avatars?

[ForumMate]

Just login in your account on the new forum and try to upload an avatar.
Make sure phpbb settings that avatar uploads are allowed.

[NoHumorMan]

It wasn't possible to log in over there.

I get a server not found error.

And where do I check that avatars are allowed to upload?  Is that maybe something that is switched off on our normal forum?

[ForumMate]

Fixed the login issue. Please check now.

I get this warning when I log in:

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/phpbb/auth/auth.php on line 479: Undefined array key "acl_"

But it logged me in, but there is no way to change any settings.  The whole forum is locked, so no way to test if it's possible to upload avatars.

Also, there is a user on the actual forum, who cannot log in now.

I don't want to mess with things, as it has been too long since I've messed with the settings, so how can I help him.

[ForumMate]

Is the first set of errors from the new forum? Or is that the old one?

[NoHumorMan]

That's the new forum.


Regarding the user not being able to log in.  It works now.  If you did something, thanks.

[ForumMate]

Glad its working haven't made a change.

[NoHumorMan]

It is not possible to make changes to the settings on the alternate forum.  So it is not possible to test if it is possible to upload avatars.

[NoHumorMan]

Hi, something has happened with the forum, so now all older posts are listed as being posted on October 20, 2025.  New posts have the correct date.  Can this be fixed?

Since I haven't heard back regarding the alternate forum, I assume there is no way for me to test it out, as nothing is working on that site.

At this point... can the forum be fixed and saved or is it broken beyond repair?

[ForumMate]

No idea haven't made any changes.

The alternative forum was the option, but you weren't using it so took it down. Other option to to provide you a backup of the forum sql files for you to self host. Or we can attempt to convert to the createaforum system.
