SHP Forums

Anyone else seeing forum squished to the left?

I see it too. And the Full Editor is messed up. When I tried to quote you it made a very tiny text window that I couldn't really use.

Yeah - I let Collector know. I assume the provider make some kind of update - and broke the code again.
Because it was working earlier today.

CSS seems messed up somehow, yeah. Forum icons are gone and the profile links and notification area are all clumped to the left.

Yeah - replying works but quoting also doesn't work.
Collector said he will try to look at it ASAP, as real life permits.

Yes, I saw it as well (and emailed Tawm about it a few days ago).

Yes. The same tiny window pops up if you try to:

- start a new thread ...
- use the "Post Reply" button (e.g. if you want to add an image, etc.) ...
- send a PM ...

... and, as NBS said, try to quote someone else. (I did it by pressing the "Quote" button, copying the code, and pasting it back to the "Quick Reply" textbox).

Perhaps Collector can roll back the new code to the earlier version? *shrug* I don't know. Hopefully it will be fixed, but obviously that'll take time and Collector has a busy job as it is. We'll just see what happens.

The amazing Collector has fixed the forums!

Weird. They were fixed. Now they're aligned left again.

Ah, yes ... I just tried to answer your PM, Tawm, but the forum again gives me the same tiny textbox -- impossible to reply. And yes, the forums are still squished to the left.

Obviously I couldn't reply to you by PM, so I sent you an email. (Please feel free to ignore it).

Yeah it was clearly fixed for a moment; or my browser boinked - because I was able to send PMs, the "new image" icons were visible and everything on the forums.

After experimenting, I have determined that it is something beyond my control. A fresh install of the latest phpBB seems to display OK. Good news is that the Sierra Classic skin I made seems to work OK with the latest phpBB. I then installed a new, virgin forum of the same version as this one with the intent to import the files and database of the existing forum to upgrade it without risking the existing forum. Before I did anymore than to simply install it, the brand new forum was displaying the same scrunched up layout. So it seems that it has nothing to do with any corruption or bad configuration of the forum itself, but something that Arvixe did, probably with the PHP server. I have one thing more to try. Other than that, I have submitted yet another ticket, but given how Arvixe is it may be a few days to hear from them. Probably they won't be able to fix it.

Worst case scenario, I make the old forums read only for reference and start a new up to date forum. Tawm, if I have to do this I'll need your help to recreate all of the forums, etc.

I'd be willing to do whatever you need. Is there no way of exporting everything from here and importing to the fresh install (of the new phpbb)?

Upgrading 3.2.2 to 3.x -

Just some reading I was doing to see if it was possible.

ProSilver skin is now up on the new phpbb.

Some messages, depending on when ye posted and the save to restore, may be gone. (I noticed just one of my messages was missing).
But otherwise, looks good.

Collector, I think, is going to work on getting the previous SHP skin over the generic ProSilver.

Oh! He has the Sierra skin already in there.
Just go and edit your profile and go to board preferences and select Sierra.
