We're working on it, fair person. Be patient with us.

Also, since the Egora won't currently accept links, I found three of 7-9 generations of hats for everyone's enjoyment: https://ibb.co/5nMvgVn

Edit: And yes, unapologetically, that is Scraggles, who I've had since three, and Stripe, who I've had since six, in the background. They've literally travelled Canada and a bit of Asia with me.

All right, thanks. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I had to do different from my side.

Are those the names of the teddy bear and blanket?

The teddy bear is Scraggles. The skunk Beanie Baby on his lap is Stripe (because I didn't like the tagged name of "Stinky" when I was six).

Can anybody go through the available admin panels and look for the settings that control all that? It's likely that they are there, it sounds like something that should be customizable.

I'm working on combing the html, or whatever it is, to see if I can find something about character limits for posts/messages/etc. No luck so far.

There have been posting errors for me.

Brief posts are OK.  If you have a long post, or one with a lot of markup (tags, urls) you will have to break it up into multiple posts for now, unfortunately.

I stumbled on this, not sure if it might help solve the issue: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=567764.0

Note: all the diacritics seem completely fucked.

New error, or at least newly discovered since I don't normally hit New Replies but clicked it on accident. Was redirected to this page:

DATABASE ERROR
Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'saproduction.t.id_last_msg' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT
File: /var/www/www.second-apocalypse.com/Sources/Recent.php
Line: 1105

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0.17, while your database is at version 2.0.4. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

Well, I would certainly know how to fix this error if given access to the database calling code ( it's either from application call to the database or stored code in the database ). If a patch fixes this, then it's 50/50 it can be fixed in the code ( meaning the code could be fine as written, but triggering a database bug ).

Ah, this pretty much explains everything, the upgrade wasn't finished.

Thank you both for your comments. Still working on contacting Sovin, but I'll be sure to bring it up.

[Wilshire]

Thanks to SmilerLoki, there have been some fixes to problems that have been plaguing the forum for months. The message box up front should work properly now (limited to 1024 characters rather than 60ish), and we should be able to properly use special character in posts.

Thanks again SmilerLoki.

That said, if other issues arise, please let us know.

I still can't download a database from SMF and I noticed it takes quite a bit of time to clear after we've rejected Spam-Sranc before the pending users notation disappears.

Thanks again for all you guys have done.

I've left a possible explanation for this and other such errors and peculiarities in the quorum channel of the Discord server. It's not super secret or anything, but I don't wanna leave a permanent visible record of it all the same.
