@spork985 @"Harry K."

HUH? Why no quotations?

@Guardian That tag thing kills me.

@"Harry K." Need a Master Ball.

*POP* A wild ultra-rare spork appears

Hello

Hi Spork!

Guardian!

Spork!

test

It being a part of the core build would be great! It's another feature forums need to catch up to social media on.

@SpookyZalost MyBB have plugins for it and are considering it in a later version, but it isn't core yet

I know it can be done beceause it's been done over at this forum I frequent called spacebattles, but that's based on xenforo not mybb

I know at this other forum called spacebattles it can be done, but that's based on xenforo not mybb.

hmm, I wonder if it's possible to tag someone in a thread post other than quoting their post?

It's not a plugin at all if I recall. It's just a feature of the shoutbox. I don't have myalerts or anything so there is nothing for it to really hook into I believe.

I used /me in the counting tread I think I wonder why it does the tagging name when clicking avatar but doesn't actually tag? What plugin are you using Darth?

nice!, hey did anyone notice that the /me command works in the forums? lol.

I suppose that settles that one...

@"Harry K." Does that work?

Haha click my avatar?

Nvm?!?!

@"Darth-Apple" did you forget you could actually tag people? :o

And yeah believe me it's a team effort! I can't even really take the credit. Needless to say things have been going very strong lately here for us.

haha welcome back @e2shock! I got your memo about the featured content, couldn't tell if you were serious or not.

It is impressive!

Amazing how you guys brought the forums back from the dead.

I believe my name should be the same colour as Darths. >

Ahahaha i didn't even notice Leo's name until now. Y'alls guess is as good as mine on that one, but it could be because he's in a special usergroup since he's the leader/moderator of the RPG section.

Good, that's good. :p

Man I don't need a colour to know I'm special don't you worry

Just not in the case of username color HERE. Different color on IB...

Of course you are Harry.

Oh.. So.. So I'm not special?

It is, but that's because Spooky's is a little darker than everyone else.

I feel special

Is my name slighly blue(er)? :ooooo

yo! welcome back to makestation!

What's up Harry!

Hows it going?

yeah no worries man, we all know you're busy with IRL... gods so am I at times lol.

Sounds good Darth, we're keeping busy around here!

Been terribly busy the past few days, but fear not, I'm not absent. I will be back around more within a few days!

he's offering to manually up views/generate traffic for station cash bben.

I will view your YT video for at least 30 seconds.

sorry I am still have trouble understanding Guardian

so if i chose U tube view as the example, what exactly would it be a video of ?

Just trying some simple things to get the marketplace some action.

You pay Station Cash and I will complete the service offered.

sorry im not sure how the guardians shop works ?

Sweet! Have to wait for the baby to wake up before I can hear it. Can't wait.

Heads up, posted the first of my karaoke vids

Haha, that's funny. O sure do hope so. You're on a good pace to do so.

one way... or another... I'm gunna get ya, I'm gunna get ya get ya get ya get ya... lol.

Thanks, and great work! I've been waiting for you to catch me.

also a bit delayed but congratulations guardian!

thanks, gotta keep working to catch up to guardian, and I had some time lol.

Congratulations Leo for being today's top poster at 20 posts! And yeah, I'm trying here to catch up and it's taking me quite a while. Reading all of these one thread at a time.

I know! It's great.

This place is exploding! I log off for less than a day and come back to 40+ new posts...

Thank you Darth! I'm honored.

Hey everyone! Please welcome guardian, our new global moderator, to the team!

just some stuff about the site and forums ect ect.. dont worry i know you have been busy !

darth also i have some messages for you on discord..

looks like we had a bit of a spam attack just now

I think I have an idea of what happened. I'll working overnight tonight but I'll look at it tomorrow morning!

Darth, we need your help in the longest thread.

thomas, great to see you back around and actively posting !!

Welcome back brotherman. Long time no see!

hi

I'm gonna be MIA for the next few days. A lot of exams and long shifts at work ahead. Keep this place alive y'all! I have faith!

Happy easter every 1 !!!

we will have to see what April will bring us

Lot of great changes to the site this month !

interesting.

Y'all notice anything different?

It has! I'm beyond surprised and really happy to see it. Next month we will have officially been a community for five years!

wow the site's certainly become way more active lately, Loving it!

Haha thanks! It takes quotes from members of the community, which i thought was pretty neat

Love the Make Them Famous widget.

Haha no problem @brian51

thanks for working so hard on the site for us !

Sweet!

Well I do have some good news, albeit a little bit technical. But I did manage to uncorrupt the database so that it will allow us to have more than one theme. The good news is that I will no longer have to do design updates on the live site. For quite some time MS has received no refresh due to some of these issues, so i'm glad that things will be a little easier going forward.

That may very well end up being what we do. I'm actually pretty sure you can do a MyBB -> MyBB import too. I might try that to get the posts and the users, and all of that, and just redo the setup of the actual forum itself.

If the update makes changes to the database, circumvent would be upgrading separately, then importing.

Ouch. You try a whole new fresh install of MyBB, then export/import this database?

ooh, that really sucks

We've been running on the same installation of MyBB, and actually the exact same theme, plugins, and codebase, since 2014 or 2015. Besides routine security updates, our codebase literally hasn't changed. i think it was one of the minor 1.8.x updates that screwed up the table in our database.

We have no such installation here, but we do have a development installation on an actual VPS somewhere, where most of our actual development occurs. The problem I'm running into is that I literally cannot import new themes because our database is corrupt, so even if i develop an update, i cannot make it live unless I want to edit our actual live installation.

@hans: have you tried running a backup test server in a vm to test themes and such? Thats how i tested stuff for my bbs Before implementing it. Sort of like a local live you can mess with, without consequences.

I wouldn't object to taking a look at least. Never make promises though.

@Guardian: Hmm I might send you a shout out at some point then and see if we can get this theme issue figured out. I haven't been able to work on anything without updating the live site because only one theme actually works on our installation, so that's been a little frustrating from time to time.

Whenever I can.

Guardian made a strong showing in the forums tonight

Terrible with the design stuff, not bad at figuring out settings issues.

is bryan a member here

Anyone here still sharp on MyBB technical stuff? We've managed to somehow corrupt our themes table and I haven't been able to create a new one to work on a couple of (*minor*) updates to get us a little more up-to-date. I'll look at it in more detail one of these days, but if I can avoid writing a script to uncorrupt it and anyone has more knowledge than I do, shoot me a PM!

okay yes there has been a couple NE sters this week, this morning i was looking at what Quinn was doing

One for the mid and northern east coast.

Ya sorry, not sure what storm your referring to ?

Thanks ya'll! How'd everyone fare with the storm? If you dealt with it? Just a lot of downed trees and power lines.

Ah yeah life comes first always! Haha. But it's good having you around man. And congratulations on the new baby!!

Guardian, i understand your busier with life now.. And that is why I appreciate your efforts all the more to keep this site alive

Hans is back in town again !

Always a good thing.

strong forums night here for sure guys

I try to. Forget sometimes.

its nice you still check shout box some times my friend

guardian , thanks for your comments on the game here

It was a good game, just not good enough for the WIN.

dallas is playing again on TV

the dallas game is a total dog fight right now man !! 7-7

Thanks yall!

good luck hans, and congrats on the safe move.

Yeah, mental health is important. Life has gotten so much better since I've changed my outlook towards jobs. Don't let them ruin you.

Miss you guys, glad to be back around

yeah i got a job at a warehouse but i quit before i even started. You might say beggars can't be choosers, but this job was god awful. I could just tell it was going to be a nightmare going in. I'm gonna be picking up some hours at an old job of mine in the meantime while I'm searching so I'll still have income coming in.

Hans, thanks for the update man.. and keep us posted on the job hunting !

Congrats! Maybe? Good luck with that!

Well guys, I'm here in Wilmington. Still gotta find a job but all is good.

We can host it here if that's what's convenient. Long as we aren't hosting something CPU intensive it shouldn't be an issue.

I'd be fine with either. Maybe another use for Makestation... project hosting?

or better yet how about a ZIp file, just extract it and open the HTML file to view?

if I had somewhere to host it I could upload the entire folder and setup the HTML as a home page, then you guys could get a google maps style viewer with maybe weekly/bi-weekly updates?

It looks fantastic!

I finally got around to rendering a map for the MC server, took around 30 seconds, not bad, was able to run mapcrafter on all 8 of my CPU cores!

ohhh, thanks Spook !, you and I can hold the fort here whiles hes gone

traveling, he'll be back soon

i am but i am wondering where guardian is ?

Hope you guys are doing well around here.

Not quite. In the process of moving, been terribly busy. I'll be back around more guys I promise! On the bright side landed a new car and a new job. Just gotta get this house moved out of and get everything finalized down there.

last day of july

hey hey

blake is back now
