The Gaming Den

Seemingly the only way to restore accounts is changing password. ...except my old account was linked to a mail account on lycos, which stopped existing about half a decade ago. Is there a way for admins to change an account's mail? Failing that... this is a vanity request, but could this account be...

Looks like we survived the maintenance window...

Pertinent Details: Date: 27-Apr-2021 Start Time: 11:30pm EDT (GMT -4) Scheduled Duration: 1 Hour System Down? Yes Slightly More Detail:: I just received word from our host that they have a schedule maintenance window on our server. They did not provide details of what was being updated / changed, o...

And, now the second link is fixed.

If you find others in the meantime, please go ahead and link them. Once I have an hour or so, I'll look in the DB to see what happened, which will let me figure out if I can fix it behind the scenes.

The tome index thread looks fine to me now. Thanks. It's unlocked now. In a similar tone, the formatting of the main content posts in the following threads have been horribly distorted, or at least it has been on my end, with the text slowly growing in size throughout the post until it reaches the ...

All fixed, so unlocking now

Alright, somebody more familiar please have a look at the thread. If it looks correct, I'll go ahead and unlock it.

At least one important post is missing from the forum. No idea why. And possibly theoretically others. The links to the Tomes in this thread: http://www.tgdmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48453&p=548351#p548351 I'll have this fixed today. The first post does in fact contain a whisper, so ...

Zoinks!

Great! It'll allow up to 300,000. That at least gets you through this edit. Once I resolve the issue of the missing posts*, I can adjust it again based on what's in some of those other large threads. * Is it just me, or does this sound like the title of a bad Sherlock Holmes story: The Case of the M...

Thanks - can you go and try to save it again? Just edit and save, no need to add the new material until we know I got it right.

I'm quite sure I can change it, and further if the limit was high enough previously then I see no reason not to make it high enough again.

Can you give me a better estimation of the size other than "around 300k characters". Or link me to the post and I'll get the info from the DB directly?

Posts with the old whisper tags are currently set to hidden, per Zherog. If it used the whisper tag, it'll be easy for me to restore. So fingers crossed that's what it is. In the meantime, though, I'm gonna toss a temporary lock on this thread just in case it's something else. I want to try to look...

There was, yes. It wasn't used often.

Well, that's really fucking strange... I'll investigate.

You've hit upon the best way I've seen - copy/paste from "Print View". For those not familiar with the Print View option, down the very bottom of the thread page, next to the Post Reply button, will be a wrench with a dropdown arrow. Clicking it will give you some options, among them Print...

Looks like the answer is no. That empty quote at the end of my last post is an open quote tag.

You should have a PM from me.

I've got it fixed, thank you. The email address I had for this account is ancient and no longer in use (hence why I didn't get any password reset email), so when you delete my temp account I can switch this one to my current address. Thanks for your help, Zherog! Fantastic! I was hoping the issue w...

Hello everyone! So I can't get my old username back either. The system didn't even send me a reset email when I requested it.

You should have a PM sent to this account with help.

And the last one for now... The weird phantom "phpBB BBCode Demonstration" thread is now gone. I'm not at all sure what happened to it, but I whacked it from within the database.

So far, I think the only thing I would actually classify as a bug would be the weird IMG thing reported GreatGreyShrike. Without going back and looking at the lists I'm trying to maintain in the 2nd post, I believe everything else is cosmetic. That's a really good thing! I went back and looked. Sea...

And... Superscript and Subscript are now back as well.

The HR tag now exists. I'll need to do run the reparser on old posts for them to pick it up, and I'm hoping to only do that once after adding all the missing tags and/or updating the ones I created (such as making a CENTER tag rather than ALIGN= tag). The HR tag is pretty simple, like before: [hr] W...
