Duck and Cover

Merry almost Christmas!

IIRC they were archived following the great Charset Screwup.

Oh and supposedly all the posts should get re-parsed automatically over time. Not sure if true, but that's what some random post on this subject said.

Btw, you can embed any links posted before this upgrade by re-saving those posts, so that they get parsed again. So just hitting edit and save, yes.

Ok then, "Jeff". Go test stuff as per my other thread in this forum.

I did lose some stuff, but fortunately nothing that I would cry over. Cleanup, future-proofing and replacing everything essential were a huge time and money sink, though. But I'm ok, thanks for asking.

I've also upgraded the forum style to latest version, though there don't seem to be any visible changes.

Actually, checking the permissions, it's anybody's guess if this is working for all the users currently, and in all the forums. Please test it and let me know if it doesn't work for you here and/or in any of the other forums and I'll see if I can figure out where the problem is. phpBB's permissions ...

OK, so, the phpBB upgrade was as much a pain in the ass as I remember it from 20+ years ago, so good to see that the ancient traditions continue being upheld here. Despite one of the basic extensions that we're using not being compatible with the latest phpBB version that I've upgraded to and killin...

I've upgraded phpBB to the latest version and I'm working on adding a few more things...

You know, for serious things it's best to ping me via PM. Is this for real?

Actually, I read through that whole thread and Stainless sent in extra $500 in 2020 (page #5) and I wrote at that point that I'll use the extra money towards XenForo licence renewal costs and the domain renewals. I've forgotten about that, my bad. I did buy the XF licence already back then, I just h...

didn't you raise like a grand 3 years ago, just thinking that if it's that expensive and/or involved to keep a forum with about 5 users up then yeah probably not worth it, thanks for putting in the effort and keeping the lights on this long anyway :salute: No, that grand was for the conversion off ...

So I guess nobody wants to keep DAC online any more, huh?

*crickets*

Realistically, it'll remain online for as long as someone's renewing the domain and paying for the hosting.

I forgot to mention to leave your username in donation notes, so that I know who to credit. We've got the first donation in, $25 out of $150 needed, thanks! Who do I credit?

Edit: Thanks, SenisterDenister!

As fun as a dusty museum...

Oh wow, it's been 7 years since my last collection for the domain. So, I've actually extended it up to 2025 by now, but the last two years have gone out of my pocket as we've only raised money to cover the domain renewals until 2022. I've transferred it to a cheaper registrar now, so to renew it up ...
