It did not appear because I did not enable it in NoScript...

The "fb-like-box"? It's an iframe, and NoScript can block those. And it does.Norbert wrote:There's also a link to Facebook on the main page.
Pretty hard to miss, so probably also blocked by your NoScript.
Yes, looking at the admin log, this happened on August 13th, 2013. He also cleared the admin log then... (do we have a backup of the forum data from before that time, perhaps?)Norbert wrote:Maybe forum user "Programmer" also deleted all threads he started? I don't remember.
I have made new backups. I see that phpBB should be updated from 3.1.4 to 3.1.10. I wonder, can I update the forum software while it is running? Should I expect problems?Norbert wrote:Remember folks, starting July 2016, I'm no longer the princed.org administrator. All I do is keep popot.org updated and running. Backups of the forum haven't been made and software (e.g. forum, wiki) hasn't been updated since at least July. In the unfortunate event that the forum stops working (or gets hacked, or whatever), all I will do is e-mail poirot, the owner of princed.org. If you have something important that is not on popot.org or popuw.com, don't just upload it on this forum and expect it to stay here: make sure to also keep a copy of it locally, on your own computer. Just to be on the safe side.
I wouldn't worry about it.Falcury wrote:(do we have a backup of the forum data from before that time, perhaps?)
Thanks.Falcury wrote:I have made new backups.
I think the update instructions point to a setting that changes the forum to an under construction mode or something.Falcury wrote:I wonder, can I update the forum software while it is running?
I'll think about it. I think I would like to try to catch up with the news first, and if (after that) it's too much for me to keep it up, I'll definitely put up a notice like you suggested.Norbert wrote:I have two suggestions:
1.
It is likely that the main www.princed.org page will remain stuck at June 2016.
Maybe above the last (9 June 2016) entry it should say something like:
"For more recent news, see our Facebook or Twitter."
Falcury, if you agree, could you add this? This shouldn't be much work; maybe a couple of minutes of your time.
Good idea, I'll make the change!Norbert wrote:2.
It is likely that the Announcements forum board will not get any 'real' new threads after June 9th.
I was using it to point to new things, but Facebook and Twitter will be easier for this.
Other people who announce things usually create threads in other (more specific/on-topic) boards - which, in my opinion, is a good thing.
Therefore I suggest we make the "Announcements" board a sub-board of the "General Stuff" board.
Why these suggestions?
Currently, if people check the main page or the "Announcements" board, they may think nothing has happened here since early June.

I meant to tell you to not forget about the theme modifications, such as the logo's custom location, and the extra area I added that includes the chat and Facebook iframe. But it seems, for some reason and luckily, nothing broke during the upgrade. Maybe you told it not to override the old theme?Falcury wrote:The forum software has been updated from version 3.1.4 to 3.1.10.
I used the automated update package. If I understand correctly, the installer created a custom 'modified' update for me with only the (diff) changes applied between the old and new version. So that could be why the modifications didn't get overwritten when I manually uploaded the resulting files using FTP.Norbert wrote:I meant to tell you to not forget about the theme modifications, such as the logo's custom location, and the extra area I added that includes the chat and Facebook iframe.
