We officially need to ditch HHVM

Practically none of the mods I want to install are working and I even had to re-install the entire board then restore the theme from an older backup when I tried to install one of the mods (I forgot which one, but the entire board ended up into white screens of death). In some other cases, some mods don't even do anything at all, even on the default them. Example: Stop Forum Spam, which changes absolutely nothing at all.If you check SMF website, you will notice that there is only 1 single post m...

Dillema about skin background color

So I worked a bit on the forum theme last night, the hardest part being figuring out how to center the logo (something unusual on a SMF forum) and the theme is far from finished. However, I was unsure about what background color to choose around the site. Currently it's dark turquoise or something, but would people prefer something different and what? What I know, though, is that using the same green as the inner logo green looked ugly, though, and a gray-ish green looks more like an hospital su...

Rizon

I was wondering if it would be worth it (and safe) to have a #CodeWalrus channel on Rizon network, assuming they allow bots like OmnomIRC? I was wondering because back then, a lot of calculator users originated from there, including Juju IIRC. However I heard stories about trolling there. This would mean that #CodeWalrus is reachable via 4 networks.

I made a TI-Story page about CW and updated my author page earlier today, now that I am able to edit stuff again there: also edited the Omnimaga page because the staff list was outdated.I don't know if anything is missing, but if you can edit stuff there and want to add more or fix stuff, then feel free to do so.Of course, for programs and group contributions, we gotta release stuff first, though.

HCWP site launch?

Ok, so I have a video presenting the website and Manycam on my computer. What I was wondering is if Google Hangouts kicks you out for inactivity after 2.5 hours like IRCCloud does? Because if it doesn't do so as long as you're streaming, I was thinking of setting up a CodeWalrus launch event on HCWP this evening.Basically, at 4:30 PM GMT-5 (9:30 PM site time and 10:30 PM for our French/Dutch members), I would launch a modified version of the video that has 2 hours 27 minutes of no audio nor any ...

Quick Reply

Is there a setting somewhere to have quick reply enabled by default? I usually type posts up in the quick reply box and then preview them if I feel the need before posting. It seem really odd to have it hidden by default, and I'd assume there was an option to have it visible. Am I missing something obvious?

Why does Recent Posts always go to the last post?

Hi! I didn't see any general site help topic, so I thought I could make a topic about this problem I've been having. Like with most forums I'm on, I try to read all new posts, and I've been using Recent Posts to do this. However, when I click a topic link, my browser always scrolls down to the last post in the topic, regardless of how many unread posts there are, which makes it annoying to keep track of what I need to read to catch up. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not working like it s...

So far, our only community news plans were to be Project Periodical.I don't really want to take on the job of news editor again because it's too tedious, but with our "ADD TO ARTICLES" ...

International board/topics?

What you think about it? The current idea is to not create boards right now, but to allow people to post in another language, but you'd have to prefix your title with or or something like that. If it's popular then we might consider creating some boards for that. That would be nice to attract some international users.

Watch out before deleting bot accounts! (risks of false positives)

The other day, Netham45 signed up but his account landed on the spam account page, with a yellow icon because it could not be checked. Also, sometimes, accounts will have a blacklisted IP, but their email won't be. In some cases, the last time a blacklisted IP matched a spam account will date back several months ago, which implies that it is not 100% guaranteed to be a spam IP anymore (especially with rotating IPs).This is why before deleting accounts you should make sure that it's not a false p...

Juju or Streetwalrus :I downloaded SMF 2.0.10 package in the package manager. It has to be installed like a regular mod package. No error/warning about conflicts show up when I scan the files. However, it seems to require FTP write access to alter some of the files. So basically, could you install this SMF patch for me? It is supposed to fix some SMF 2.0.9 bugs.TIA.

Post stats graph (with averages)

Back in late 2011, Juju made a post statistic graph script like what Kerm had on Cemetech since 2010 or so, which displays forum daily posting statistics since opening. That graph is used on Omnimaga and was implemented by Juju, but he was demoted in March 2012 so the version we got is not as recent as theirs. However, they removed trend lines/averages, for some reasons, although they fixed missing 0-post days, so we got the trend lines back, at the cost of skipping 0-post days (although it's no...

PHP 7, other new technologies of 2015 and CodeWalrus

I was reading about it, and I think that impacts CodeWalrus in the future, so figured I should discuss of it in this thread. PHP 7 PHP 7.0.0 alpha 2 recently came out, so this means PHP 7 will come out real soon (more specifically on November 12, 2015, coincidentally on the first anniversary of the CW forum). It brings quite a few new features, such as being twice as fast as PHP 5.6, full 64-bit support and a few new OOP features. So of course it will be worth a try once it will come out in...
