Default avatar implemented

I tried a lot of stuff to change the default avatar but it remains stuck on the gears. Will try again later.

It works! I may remove them from existing posts too if I get the energy. Requires a SQL query through cpanel.

Ignore this too. I installed an extension to prevent having "Re:" on replies. Let's see if it works.

Sure, DG , no problem. Things are backed up in two steps: 1. tar.gz the entire account through the cpanel. Download the tar.gz to an HDD on my PC. 2. Export the SQL database through the phpbb Administration Control Panel and download the result tar.gz to the HDD on my PC. There are three HDDs that I...

'Contact us' link

I enabled the 'Contact us' link a couple days ago and started getting spam through it within hours. Friggin' spambots!

OK, i installed an extension that should be able to stop the spam. Let's see.

Just fiddling to try to fix something wrong with this subforum. If you have moved a thread that had the 'Last post' then the subforum shows as having No posts in the Last post column (instead of reverting to the previous post). I fixed it by just making this useless post. OK, enough futzing around f...

Yes, it's well-known.

I was thinking it could encourage members to set their own avatar, but I see your point.

Default avatar implemented

Hated the question mark so implemented a default avatar extension. It applies only if you have not assigned your own avatar. Right now it just uses the extension's 'gears' avatar but that could change. Suggestions welcome. Maybe the old 'boring' avatar I used to use. ;)

Any objections to removing the prosilver style?

We're considering removing the generic (boring) prosilver theme which was our default theme until Latte. So in the interests of proper consideration for our users, I'd like to ask if anyone would be upset if we removed prosilver and re-configured Latte as your theme. Like the preacher always says, s...

Re: Just testing thread icons

I successfully set the green check on some threads in the DGDecNV forum. It works fine, so going forward we will use this in lieu of [RESOLVED] and [CLOSED] prefixes to the thread titles. To mark a thread resolved on the thread listing, edit the first post in the thread and set the green check for t...

Re: Just testing thread icons

OK, seems to be working. I have enabled this for all forums. I may remove all the other icons, so users don't accidentally remove the check from a resolved thread. They will be able to remove the check but would do so knowingly.

Let's mark this thread with a green check mark!

The plan is to have a checkmark icon for resolved threads.

Y'all can put media links in your posts and they will embed automatically. Below is an example. If automatic is not working for you (or you want to change old posts) then use the [media] ...

I've been playing around with forum themes. I kinda like Latte. You can try it through your user control panel/board preferences/my board style. Don't bother with Quantum Codex. ;)

'Last edited' annotation removed

Posts no longer show editing events (last edited, etc.). DG believes that successive editing by all parties leads a thread to converge to a parsimonious crystallization of the truth, a sort of sampling of what is, and that this process should not be inhibited. That's beyond me (think forum maintenan...

Re: New member here

Welcome to the forum Albert. We'll do our best to keep the mosquito at bay. Best to disregard her.

Some questions for you...

What is your reaction to the Bell Inequality? Is it violated in Nature and would such a violation signify a violation of Lorenz invariance?

Thank you so much.
