Thanks. Just now unlocked pics in first post. For some forumish reason they hadn't developed. One reason is that my regular browsers, Pale Moon and Basilisk, don't render many things very well and especially not on our Host HomepageUniverse ( HomepageUniverse took over our magnificent hosts...

Which actually meant creating a robots.txt. Since to my surprise I found Xenforo apparently doesn't come with one by default. I've ever relied on banning Google Analytics etc. to protect privacy; but as the Internet has changed in the last 5 years; decided to add some repellents to AI crap...

Finished. Seems OK. I upgraded the PHP to 8 a few weeks back and gave in time to settle; PHP is generally annoying. This upgrade was done completely mechanically through an upgrade button [ admin/tools/check for updates ] whereas it used to be downloading the ( now ) 14 MB package...

In an hour the mentioned upgrade to the current version of Xenforo shall happen. As with most upgrades, no reason to expect anything marvellous, nor any expectation anything bad shall occur. At: 3 pm 2023:02:23 GMT So prolly best not to be about for an hour after.

Well, I completely neglected this place for a few years, a main reason being my shattered arm, and operations thereon; but got an email saying the SLL wasn't working, although I renewed the 5-yr issue last november... Anyway, maybe this place is ended, but that's no reason not to keep it...

A few hours ago after a sudden decision to do a back-up, which eventuated, I attempted to upgrade from PHP 7.4 to 8; the site went blank. I reverted to 7.4 and the site offered a gobbledygook MySQL error warning only. Fully expecting to have to send in a ticket to Homepage [ the now owners...

Our short non-national nightmare is over.

Much thanks. We had one donation appeal a few years ago for something other, and gratefully received; yet this being not for profit, I am loath to take money for simply keeping the place open --- although that is certainly preferable to advertising: most of the web seems utterly devoted...

Thanks. Ah, but... I forgot to finish the footnote * Just to say whatever the Grandeurs et Misères of socialized healthcare, in America I would have had to pay $16,000 for each operation plus many additionals each charged for [ such as awesomely, ambulances ], according to this cute...

And sell stuff, don't forget selling everything that can be sold.

Only may, depends on the hosts. Note, not a donation appeal. Loyal readers may have noticed, no reason why they should, that I have not been about much in the last few years. Apart from the usual reasons --- as in the manga trope Tragedy of Long Life; after a long time, just as in long...

Myself.

OK, found the little bugger: Editor & BB Code Manager 1.2.1 Patch Level 1 Now gone.

Hmmm. I just tried the hideous old Mozilla trick of disabling all add-ons, and most of the edit set are back. Can't really tell how different, since it is obviously the new Xenforo way... I hate change. Anyway will slowly enable each in turn until the interfering add-on blocks the edit set...

I have upgraded the add-on Search Improvements 2.4.0 See if that helps.

Dunno. Just used the theme switcher at the base to display the genuine Default by Xenforo, and the tools are still missing. It's very bright.

I've done a File Health Check and it passed. Will look at other things; but my guess is that the Default 'Dark Castle' theme is partially borked [ Templates ]. I certainly can't code that template if so, will have to see if someone can fix it. I miss the old Dark Castle we had when running...

Hmm, I see Bold, Italic etc. are gone if that's what you mean. I'll enquire. As to the search engine also. Xenforo are not the best at clarity...

Just updating a dozen add-ons. Which editing tools exactly ? There seems to be a missing library for Content Title Edit History if that's it ?

Sorry been absent so long, stuff. Still. this day first upgraded to 2.1.12, September and last iteration of that version issued today, in order to then move to 2.2.1, also issued today. Hope it looks OK. Good luck to all in this time of peril.

They only just emailed me... Sorry for that...

The firm sent me a notification that this was not working well: so updated the plug-in. [ Fortunately the old version has to be completely uninstalled first instead of taking the simple way and only overwriting, giving one the opportunity to remove the extension, then firing up FTP to make...

Account anonymized. Posts are not deleted here. And really, we have better things to do. Why not just leave and never look back ?

Forum is about to be upgraded, just a few minutes. Sorry for extended absence, but my wait for an operation in a broken arm [ broken plates inside ] has been extended to 15 months so far.

United Bitches of America

More I think to do with the forthcoming $4.2 billion IMF loan probably, and as someone has pointed out one should never trust a man baptised Lenin. This is a weak cowardly man, of the calibre of Blair or Bill Clinton. Actually, there was a thing in Latin America of communist families naming...

I would rarely intimate my political views here [ Legitimist Royalist ( Jacobite ) if you insist on asking ], but occasionally a terrible event happens. Mr. Julian Assange, editor of Wikileaks, has been sent over by his hosts of seven years, over to his enemies --- the enemies of mankind...

Just to say, if an even longer absence was noted, waiting for an operation or two on my once broken arm [ 2017 ], which they discovered months ago was in two parts divided is. Apparently the first operation didn't take. An new operation was pronounced to be after Christmas, and they are...

I know. That was the result of their instruction on how to revert it to a square. Am going to mention this in a question to their forum later, which will include no way to turn off 'Reactions' [ vile little 'like'/'hate' buttons ] --- they seem to be turned off by default [ but one has to...

Indeed. So far, turned off Sharing options, and found out --- not quickly since they barely mention such changes; as devs they expect people just to do what they say * --- how to revert Avatars from that new Doughnut-Shaped roundness back to squares again [ that show all the image ]. *...

Done at last. Took 1 hour, 40 minutes. Remains to be seen what has happened --- although Reactions [ ghastly little 'like' etc. ] smilies will be turned off, and these sharing bits below once I find the switches. Coggie: no she is the girl reporter, Aya. They are the Yakumo Family...

The Major upgrade reference in our last, shall start at 10.00 AM UTC/GMT, in an hour. https://www.intpforum.com/threads/large-upgrade-arriving-plus-aramis-adieu-forever.27630/ One may have to re-log in. It may take an hour. Be aware, things may go wrong, things may go awry from the...

Note XenForo 2.1.0 has just been released. We may then upgrade soon to this, but as it is, say, like going from a 3.x kernel to a 4.x kernel, many underlying changes, and existing add-ons could be affected [ our themes probably not so much, but who knows ? ] some care is needed...

All done for now.

In a few or so hours we upgrade to XenForo 2.0.12 --- after which XenForo's next iteration is in the pipe, 2.1.0. Those with sites may like to note they do not recommend using the latest PHP version, 7.3, since there's a bug; but subsequent versions will be as good as ever PHP may be...

All done; took around an hour and a half.

Approaching upgrade to 2.0.11 in a few hours. Just for a tiny XSS gap they discovered, but every little helps. Here's the great Laura Bell Bundy's magisterial Southern Feminist Anthem, Two Step ft. Colt Ford: 1080p on youtube...

Got this forwarded to my Claverhouse email... Hello webmaster@ My nickname in darknet is fin30. I'll begin by saying that I hacked this mailbox (please look on 'from' in your header) more than six months ago, through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created by me and...

I smoked from the age of 15, tentatively 1 a day at first, then to about 7 a day more or less. Stopped smoking 3 years ago --- temporarily because of the vast cost in my country --- although I will smoke if a friend offers me one; not smoking does not make one a non- or anti- smoker...

Yes. Smoking helps with almost every aspect of life: it is a grand and great pleasure. It's not for everyone though, and I certainly wouldn't encourage people to smoke, any more than I would encourage them to sky-dive, or to become vegan. Neither would I encourage them to refrain. We...

Addendum: Barely noticed one hopes, but there seems to have been some non-operation for hours preceding. I think it was due to the delayed effect of an add-on put in earlier: Force to read a thread, which would be less cumbersome than the notices system, and ironically purposed for this very...

We went down again for reasons unknown, some glitch. Sadly we are restored to the 9th, although the hosts of the lord did their damnedest to restore to the 12th. They have been working remarkably. Tomorrow, they will do more work; but if this post disappears I will replace it. This has...

There were some halts and starts and 500 Errors a few hours this past afternoon. Contacted URLJet and... There was a networking gear that was causing the slowness and engineers fixed it and everything is back to normal. They are very good.

Well, you'll have to await for them to issue an update before it is re-enabled... Server Errors make Baby Ragnar cry.

I kinda doubt unregistered guests would bother to download more than a thread since they can't see those hidden subs, and that it takes maybe 4 minutes to register as a member. As for banned people it seems rather vindictive to cast them out of Paradise and then say: "You can't take your...

Me too.

Hmm. I'm suspending it, not because of the protests --- it shall return, but because of 365 Template error: Cannot call method isIgnoring on a non-object (NULL) src/XF/Template errors in the last few minutes. XenForo Devs maintain their sturdy unhelpfulness. But googling shows this...

I can't see the difference between a guest viewer using this, or simply him using 'Save this Page' in his browser, or any of a dozen ways I can defeat impudent javascript attempts to stop me stealing content: really it's a lost battle, lost 20 years or more ago due to the nature of computing...

From now on, members --- and others including the banned and unregistered, cos why not ? --- can download a thread, or even their own entire content. or others' own entire content, by accessing the three little dots at the top of the thread etc. on the extreme right. :nazi: You may have to...

Last month I wondered if there was any way to make a hosts file that would only knock out personalised ads. They are all decadent capitalism, but it's the filthy little trackers that are the main problem. So no, doesn't seem to be such a list of domains, but I did find out that the wretched...
