Finger crossed.
I'm actually still working on it. The base board is there, but I'm adding the extensions back in. You may need to redo avatars.

OK, I think I have everything hooked up again. God, I hope this does the trick. If nothing else, at least we're at the latest version of phpbb now. I think the media embed extension is updated as well.

Let me know if you see anything wrong or missing.

Can't thank you enough for what must have been a ton of work.

(Anyone get that reference from memory?)
(I mean, besides Howard.)

I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle when I was a kid. Never would have recalled the name, but I immediately read that in Tennessee Tuxedo's voice. I bet Chumley would have gotten this reference. Dudley Do-Right was my favorite. Even have a recording of 3 yo me reenacting a seen with me voicing Dudley and Snidely Whiplash, and my father voicing Nell.

Thanks Dave, I can't even comprehend what needs to be done to fix these issues. And all of your work without condescending the rest of us, taking on the role of martyr, acting like you are the only person with the ability to manage the board, and no threats to destroy your creation. So thanks for that, too.

Is there something going on with the avatars? I had a bitch of a time getting one to upload yesterday, and I can't see the avatars for about half the Swampers - I just get an X and a "User Avatar."
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

When I set up the new board, I didn't copy over any of the avatar files, because I didn't want to use anything from the existing site if I didn't have to. So anyone who uploaded an image, as opposed to linking to an online resource, will have to reupload their avatar. I figure it'll will all clear up in a few days once everyone fixes their profile.

Thank you, I was curious about this, as well. Of course, we have enough issues with our internet service, there was a reasonable chance (to me, anyway) that it was on my end.

Ah, I did not understand why all avatars weren't disabled/trashed.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Anyone else seeing videos and images cropped in a weird manner? Like only 200 pixels or so in height? Width seems to be ok, and it isn't affecting all of them, maybe every third one or so.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I see that with twitter reposts. I saw the same thing before Dave made these changes, maybe for about two months or so. I click the quote or reply button, then go back, and the image/vid is rendered properly.

Yeah, that's probably a phpBB bug, nothing related to any issues with us.

You know, things haven't blown up in nearly two weeks now. It looks like completely updating the board with a clean install did the trick. I'm going to unstick this thread.

Can't be said too often, nice work, much appreciated. Thank you.
