Yeah i switched to nginx on my server and now it doesnt have permission in the web server folder i dont really know how to fix it.

Make sure the files are owned by the user account your web server runs as (usually www-data), or at least have access to them.

I'm not sure if we will fix all broken links on the forums

Also @Cumred_Snektron , mind if I host Walrifier on CW server?

Sure, go ahead

Fixed mine. The YouTube embed mods are all pretty broken. :/

I have no issue with the one where you enter the URL with no tag tho.

Just make sure the Youtube link is https.

still when clicking a tag in teh new posts site, I end up here:
https://codewalr.us/index.php?action=search2;search= <--- Searching for empty string
Which made me notice a second bug on search site:
There's an empty button in the menu bar. It's li#button_search
it seems to only appear on teh earch site ^^ probably should just remove it

Dream of Omnimaga · September 21, 2016, 01:52:41 PM

I never figured out how to >.<

That's strange...
I'm just guessing now:
It seems there once was a separate "search" button there, which should have been created by your content management system. But obviously it was removed (at least it's content) but the item (<li>)is still left. Which means there's either a list of buttons to create where you forgot to remove the item ooor it's automatically created like going through pagecollection and adding an item for each of them.
So the fix should be excluding "search" in pagecollection or to remove the item from the list. Deending on how the CMS works ^^
did you already try both?

Else (to hide the problem) just add li#button_search{visibility:hidden;} to the css :3

Yeah the issue started happening after we implemented the custom navigation. I think SMF just doesn't like the navigation to be changed (anymore). And there is a separate search button next to the search field. It's called Advanced. I'll have to check if there are some leftovers from the search button that was in the nav, though, but I am sure there are not. I guess I could go the cheap route and hide it via CSS' though.

Which reminds me, @Streetwalrus should really get to work on those checkbox options for the recent posts list.

Site updated to SMF 2.0.12

p2 · October 10, 2016, 08:39:35 AM

aaaand it'S me again (yess I love finding bugs) :3
Watching teh CodeW staff site https://codewalr.us/index.php?action=groups;sa=members;group=10 the HTML isn't filtered and shown in the tab's title
like Viewing Group: <span style="color:#007733;">CodeWalrus Staff</span>

Also can someone please tell @Juju to reduce his signature length or put it in a spoiler...? My mousewheel will start burning if I have to scroll for much longer xD (no offense Juju)
Maybe you could just create a little table and put the pic besides the text? that should already solve it I think ^^

Dream of Omnimaga · October 11, 2016, 03:29:44 AM

YEah that's because we used HTML in a field where it wasn't intended. This was the only way to get colored member groups

(basically, the member group name is actually "<span style="color:#007733;">CodeWalrus Staff</span>")

As for Juju's sig it seemed fine to me since it had scrollbars, but yes it's kinda annoying to see the page stop scrolling everytime it reaches one of his posts. Plus it's pointless to have so much stuff in a signature if only 30% is visible anyway, not to mention the borded mode ON OFF thing is no longer working (the psychedelic theme was removed)

Yuki · October 11, 2016, 04:25:00 AM

Ah, yeah, I should check those out and do a better sig.

p2 · October 11, 2016, 06:34:03 AM

I keep hearing about this special mode everywhere, odes anyone have a picture of it? xD
Btw why was it removed? Due to an update or something?

Dream of Omnimaga · October 13, 2016, 04:51:10 AM

I think there might be one somewhere. There was also another psychedelic style theme from December 2014 which never existed and was a photoshop. The April 1st theme was removed because we didn't feel like having to update two themes, especially if one was pretty much irrelevant.

Also a tiny site update: You can now browse the board in Chinese, Russian, German and Hebrew. Note, however, that like the current French, Dutch and Japanese modes, those are only partial translations.

EDIT: Wow Hebrew left to right mode totally wrecked the board up to the point it's unuseable in mobile mode, so for now I disabled left to right mode for that language.
