Bohatir Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi. I am trying to setup my forum settings, and I think i am doing everything as I need. But when i try to upload an Avatar it says it needs to be 80x80 pixels, but my avatar is 80x80, then I tried at 75x75, and it still gives the same message. I am including a screenshotof my settings. here is a screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Did you give the avatar folder permission to write to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH-JimE Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hello, Do you have a URL for us to look at? Did you do this as a cpanel install or normal FTP upload for phpBB? Jimuni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimuni Okay i noticed something, it only gives me page cannot be displayed when i try to post images hosted, like by imageshack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hello, Hmm, it should still work, but instead just give you a normal red X instead. If you want to show pictures, you can do what I do which is to get hold of smartors album for phpBB and also find on his website the sitetag BBcode edit which will allow you to host images in your album and have them displayed within posts on your forum Jimuni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohatir Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 I dont understand what the issue is. I can post answers no problem. but I cannot post images. If someone wants to register here http://www.rochestergaming.com/phpbb/ and try to post an image, I tried hosting with imageshack. If you do, tell me if you get any error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohatir Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 HAHAHAHAHA I will never let this thread die!!! I have more questions!! Okay i want to disable Guests from being able to post, and for the life of me, i cannot find that option. Also... is there some way to upgrade to a more advanced version of phpbb? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Go into your Admin Control Panel and go down to the tab that says Forum Admin. Under that click permissions and select the board you don't want a guest to be able to access and click Look Up Forum. On the next screen in the drop down box make sure it's selected to Registered not Public. Once you do that hit submit and guests will have no access to that board.

cajunman4life Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 As far as the "more advanced" phpBB, there is only one phpBB. Some others, myself included (so take my advice with a grain of salt) have moved from phpBB to SMF. It provides a bit more flexibility and control over phpBB, not sure exactly what you mean by "advanced." phpBB is in all rights a fine package, and suits most communities well.

Bohatir Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks sooo much Rob. I guess I just have to dig further to find those "advanced" options I was refering to. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah, I do not use that software so I could not answer that part of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hello, I believe CPANEL installs the latest version of phpBB, but there are hundreds of mods over at www.phpBB.com which you can install. Note that if you do install mods, you will need to do a manual upgrade which to be honest, is not that hard to do (I have been doing it ever since 2.0.1 and they are now on 2.0.19!) There is a new version of phpBB in the pipeworks, over at http://area51.phpbb.com/ but this is only in alpha at present and has yet to go to Beta, but that is all but a few months away we guess. Hence for now, I would stick with the phpBB 2.0.19 and enjoy using it, I love it! JimE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohatir Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Alright!!! I have another question!!!!!!!!!!! Can I make the logo up in the upper left hand corner be linked back to my website? instead of back to the my main phpbb forum? Which file in the phpbb diectory should I edit?

DWD Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 You might want to do your members a favor and install "Redirect Anonymous Users to Login" which protects personal information from spambots and people who are not memembers. It redirects people to login when clicking on the memberlist, groups or profiles. As of right now, I or a spambot can go to your memberlist, get some member emails and spam the heck out of them.

TCH-JimE Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hello, Actually what you need is Alien's Guest Module. This is a minor hack to your phpBB which allows annoymous users to browse your forum but prevents them from seeing email addresses and such. A better solution DWD idea but still along the same lines JimE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohatir Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 I am a retard, i am in my admin control panel on the phpbb forum, I cannot find how I can move posts from one forum to another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 You don't do it through the admin. You should have controls when reading posts as a moderator to move threads to other areas of your forum. It's been forever since I've moderated a phpBB board but the moderation controls in Invision are in the post threads themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
