Re: Thumbnailing remotely hosted images


I've been digging for some info on this but can't quite get a clear picture. I know that images as attachments can be thumbnailed but what about remotedly hosted images? There doesn't seem to be a way for users to do it outright, say like with BBcode, but is there another way? Seems like I read ...

Re: Jeesh guess I forgot to read the fine print

I hardly call the moderator's reply a slap on the wrist. He gave you valuable info on answering your question in a polite way.

You surely understand that with the amount of users active daily on this forum, they can't allow certain genres of topics to exist ... ?

Re: can phpBB get and use login from website?

You're better off trying to integrate your login form with phpBB than trying to get phpBB work with your login form -- especially if you have little coding knowledge.

As for your colors, check around theme sites and try to find a close match if you aren't up for making your own :)

Re: Turning optional Location field mandatory?




I'd be OK with that. Any idea what I might need to do? I've dabbled in PHP but ain't no wiz.

I'm honestly not the right person to ask. Also, I don't think this kind of modifications are supported at this time.
Also please remember that messing around with the code, if you're not an expert ...

Re: New CAPTCHA


How hard can it be to recognise cats :lol: I think I've done it about ten times, and the only times it's told me I was a bot was when I deliberately left out one or two cats to see if it had any tolerance for people taking the test too quickly and missing one or two cats (it doesn't). So, you ...

Re: When Will YOU Upgrade to phpBB3?

Well, I haven't posted here yet ... so I'll do so.

We're already running a beta-5 test forum that the moderators/other admins are using to test out the new features, figure out the warning system, figure out permissions, modify a few template things, etc. We're anxiously awaiting RC1 so that we can ...

Re: New theme


I came to the same conclusion myself...

Note the scroll bar that found it's way into the picture. :P

It has that "Mac Inspired Aqua look" ;)


It's a firefox scrollbar ... the same one that I have ;)

Re: mass email...where?



ACP->SYSTEM->MASS EMAIL ;)


That was the first place I tried. The only options I see there are to 'check for updates' and to 'manage report/denial reason'. I can't find anything relevant in the ACP general tab either. Any more detailed hint? Perhaps I need to turn it on first?

Are you set as ...
