wata, can you give us an update on some of the stuff that's still borked from the migration?

Thread search, and if you've had any success finding a good solution to the mucked up quotation marks.

Also, should we organize an election to replace EroSennin?

I've been pretty happy with wata as an admin, but I think it would be better to at least have a "backup" admin so he doesn't have to handle everything.
Most everything, unfortunately. I've fixed a few problems on my own but the thrice bedamned pic snip script still isn't working and I have yet to sit down and make a formal support request for the stuff you mentioned. That WILL be done, and soon, but I don't want to make any promises since I've so clearly failed to keep other, similar promises.

I'd prefer not to hold an admin election, for a few reasons. First, and most important, I'm holding out to see if The Ero-Sennin wants the position back after a few months. Second, the last batch of elections left a bad taste in my mouth what with the drama and bad blood it left behind.

Day to day TFF operations don't require active administrative supervision. Our technical problems are ultimately minor, ease of use issues. We're not big enough to have problems between members, and I prefer not intervening in the ones we do have. Our worst "issue" is a massive backlog of users who never finish the application process (842 if you're curious).

That said I do have a few people in mind who I could see as administrator material. Chances are I'll reach out to one of them should Ero decline to retake the seat.
You might want to check the Forum plug-ins for the search and pic script issues.
Apparently some 1.6 plug-ins don't work with version 1.8

As for the pic snip script are you looking for something like this?

Some idiot developer figured it would be OK to spit out raw SQL as an error message.

There's lots of SQL errors, trying to search posts for one. When I tried to post a preview a couple of days ago it rejected me. I had to create the new topic with only a few lines and paste the rest in in an edit which worked, oddly enough. Plus I think it lost a lot of Unicode functionality with the upgrade too.

Thread search has been down for ages.
Someone (looking at Wata) needs to contact Spork @ Icyboards to resolve it
Is there any reason I can't post images or gifs with Firefox but can with Edge.

Just a heads up, Ero's back as admin. Also I'll be using this week to take care of long-standing forum issues, including search.

Hi all!

Not dead, just was on vacation and working. Yes at the same time. It sucked less than you'd expect because I was in Hawaii and was getting paid to write a videogame. I'll talk about it later, promise.

Slightly related to the maintenance work I keep promising but never get around to, is there interest in Iron Fic? Because I'm becoming more interested in running IF.

Even better, it goes back literally all the way. I think oTFF only would go back like your last 800 posts or so

When did direct post links get added (individual post numbers with post links)? It's been awhile since I've had to directly link to a post so I've never noticed it until now but I certainly recall I had to do a lot more roundabout tinkering to direct-link to a post before.

Perhaps its something to do with the current theme? He didn't notice the feature before?

I think it's the post number/url link in the corner of the posts. I don't recall seeing that during oTFF's run. Does make it a lot easier to link to a specific post.
