The data is there - I can get to them using PHP but not with Perl.  Luckily none of the YaBB tests were using mySQL.<br /><br /><b>Edited: </b><br /><div>The problem reaching the databases was creating a situation that made it look like .htaccess wasn't working. Apparently the techs fubarred on the upgrade and installed some 32-bit items that didn't play well with the rest of it.</div><!--edit--> My life with YaBB https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1475068366 YaBB Development & Mods/lng_1 https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1475068366 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (Dandello) Wed, 28 Sep 2016 13:12:46 GMT <a href="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/fixing_problems.png" rel="gb_image[nice_pics]" title="fixing_problems.png"><img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/fixing_problems.png" id="post_img_resize" alt="fixing_problems.png" title="fixing_problems.png" /></a><br /><br /> <img rel="[smiley=wallbash.gif]" src="https://yabbforumsoftware.com/yabbfiles/Smilies/wallbash.gif" alt="Smiley" title="wallbash" /><br /><br />(Gaining on moving the code to the comply with the strict pragma.)

I'm a member of quite a few forums where the preview has to be refreshed to see any changes made.<br /><br /><b>Edited: </b><br /><div>Remember, for the vast majority of forums, the rules that are in place are a response to that admin's experiences in running that or other forums. For myself, I have had <b>very</b> bad experiences with people (not YaBBers and not here) making very negative comments about other forums - including members of other forums making flat out false statements about MY forums and members. <br />So - concerning YaBBForum - a quick note that they're having problems that maybe I can fix, fine. Beyond that, please don't.</div><!--edit--><br /> IMs, BMs and Guests https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1456511971 YaBB Development & Mods/lng_1 https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1456511971 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (Dandello) Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:39:31 GMT I've been looking at how to get Broadcast Message Expiration and Replied to Guest to install without resorting to a combo mod. <br /><br />My general observations - the easy way would be to include Broadcast Message Expiration in 2.7.00.<br /><br />The <b>right</b> way is to refactor the entire Personal Messages section and separate Broadcast Messages from Guest Messages. Currently they are utterly conjoined even though they are actually 2 different things that have to be treated differently - guest messages can only be replied to via email and Broadcast messages can't be replied to at all. (Seriously - there are multple if/else statements scattered throughout multiple files just to separate out which actions are allowed with which type of 'BM'.)<br /><br />So this may take awhile. (JonB and I did have this discussion a long while back and decided to 'temporarily' patch the old bugs in Guest Messages for 2.6.1x. But now it's pretty obvious it needs to be done for 2.7.00 so it will be right when we start working on mySQL.)

I love how easy YaBB makes it for us to edit our help sections, which I've done many times over the years to correct mistakes, and to add information to it.<br /><br />On a related side note, I really appreciate the initiative you took to create this site, and this development forum in particular. I think in large part it helped one of YaBB's founding members to continue on with <a href="http://www.yabbforum.com/cgi-bin/community/YaBB.pl" target="_blank">YaBB's support forum</a>. I also think your interest in developing YaBB's newer versions helped to inspire the support forum's main admin to do more than he might have otherwise done.<br /><br />As for me who like so many other YaBB administrators I'm sure, it's comforting to know that our YaBB forums can continue to operate with a reasonable assurance that YaBB experts will be on hand to offer support, and to lead the way by example of how to best operate, and use our forums.<br /><br /><img rel="[smiley=dankk2.gif]" src="https://yabbforumsoftware.com/yabbfiles/Smilies/dankk2.gif" alt="Smiley" title="dankk2" /> Safari test https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1443728583 YaBB Development & Mods/lng_1 https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1443728583 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (Miss Martha) Thu, 1 Oct 2015 19:43:03 GMT Safari test
