Re: Forum Move.

What about Sarge's avatar pic of Phix? I've been trying to send him IMs, but they sit in my Outbox... PS- is there a way to attach files to the Forum messaging system? I don't believe there's a way to attach files, no. At least not until I get the phpgallery system worked out. It's supposed to have...

Just checked the database, and there's no mention of an avatar for Warrl.
There's a very good reason for that.
You've been hacking my database again, haven't you?

Re: Forum Move.

Does not appear that he has an avatar that I can see right this minute, unless it was set up in the php gallery (which isn't working, and wasn't working before).

Re: Forum Move.

Looks like a permissions issue, oddly enough.

Should be fixed.

Re: Forum Move.

I'll try to backtrack the avatar this weekend. It's been a hectic week. Lots of 16 hour days.

Re: Forum Move.

_Might_ be related to phpgallery being removed, added, removed, added, etc to try to get a running version of it. However, I don't recall avatars actually being stored in there. I'll try to check a bit later. I do still have the entire 'old' forum intact, so they should still be there. I did all the...

Re: Forum Move.

I'll have to think about it. One of the issues is that some of the folks I host do business with Europe and Asia. (None with the Russian Federation states, that I know of, but it's hard to say)

Re: Forum Move.

In addition, the forum now has HTTPS. the main wapsi square site will get https as soon as I move it as well.

There'll be yet _another_ move, but it'll be just to new hardware, I won't have to rebuild everything from scratch.

Re: Forum Move.

If only ARIN would actually give you _all_ of the blocks assigned to a country.

I may have to try to find a list somewhere to add to here. Virtually every spammer here is coming from far Eastern Europe or Western Asia.

Re: Forum Move.

This is the updated forum, on an up to date host. I'm still fighting the phpbb gallery plugin- it was working, then it suddenly started throwing an error. I'll work on it more later, I'm tired with all of the fighting and upgrading. I had to go from 3.2.5 to 3.2.11, then upgrade that to 3.3.3, then ...

Re: Forum Move.

Unfortunately, it appears that phpBB didn't think it was important to have a 'lock forum' feature. Their attitude is "Just edit all of the individual forums and lock them, edit permissions, etc, then you can put them back later."

So I'm just going to dump, restore, and change DNS.

Re: Forum Move.

Hopefully it won't matter much. Basically, if you can't post, you're on the 'old' server. When you can post, you'll be on the new one. I haven't done it yet - I was up too darned late last night, and I need to get under my car and check a leaky hose.

Forum Move.

I'm intending to move the forum Sunday, March 7th. No specific time yet. What I'll be doing is locking this one, so it's read-only, then setting it up as read-write on the new home. There'll be an IP change in there. Once that's done, then I can start trying to figure out a better CAPTCHA type syste...

Re: More Stuff

Firing live ammo - even something as feeble as .22 ratshot - in the kitchen ... or basement ... or attic is not generally regarded as a desirable action. I knew kids who did shoot .22s in the house. That's a big reason why I decided not to have firearms. My father fired a .357 magnum in the garage,...

Re: More Stuff

I was already using peanut butter, but the mice still managed to lick it off without setting off the trap! (I posted about that, a while back...) At first, I tried with the rat traps I already had (which had caught me a nice rat, the previous year). Then I figured that maybe it took too much pressu...

Re: I'm about to nuke my hard drive(s)!

The multi-bay unit is the most expensive - I even have a second one sitting in its box somewhere. You don't have to use huge drives for the boot drives, just put the main data on a second larger drive that both can access. Linux doesn't give two hoots for Microsoft's ACL system, so you can make it e...

Re: I'm about to nuke my hard drive(s)!

I already have my Windows on a separate hard disk than my Linux installations. The only difference is that I am relying on Grub to send me to Windows, rather than going into the BIOS to select the drive to boot from. It just so happens that I have started having problems on both sides of the fence ...

Re: More Stuff

I detest glue boards because I consider them inhumane. I have nothing against killing the suckers, I just feel that there's no reason to add torture to the list. I use snap traps. (They pitch glue boards as being a humane trap, yet you've already listed why they definitely aren't. People don't chec...

The mighty hunter has struck again! :mrgreen: About halfway through my Christmas vacation week, I happened to check on my glue board mouse trap, and there just happened to be another mouse caught and dehydrated on it. But I guess it had already been there a few days (I had stopped checking them reg...
