Ah, indeed, thanks.

Now I went through all the boards; Quick Reply is disabled on topics in these boards:
viewforum.php?f=121 (Pr1SnesLevEd)
viewforum.php?f=126 (SDLPoP)
viewforum.php?f=127 (MININIM)

Curiously, it's enabled on some boards with numbers above 121:
viewforum.php?f=122 (Prince of Persia 1 for SNES)
viewforum.php?f=123 (Total Pack)
viewforum.php?f=124 (NES: Discussion and New Levels/Mods)

OK, I enabled the quick reply option for these boards. Now the setting should be the same everywhere.

I updated the forum software to phpBB 3.3.2 (the latest version).
Hopefully everything still works.

Falcury wrote: ↑January 27th, 2020, 7:44 pm I tried to update the forum software to the latest version (phpBB 3.3), but it turns out that this requires PHP 7.1.3, which the webserver is not yet running. So, instead I updated to the next latest version (phpBB 3.2.9), which should still be fine, for now.

It turns out that the Apache configuration was forcing the PHP handler to use PHP 5.6, even though version 7.4 is the current version on the webserver. I think this is the reason I couldn't upgrade to a newer phpBB version when I tried it before.
(In any case, the forum now runs on PHP 7.4.)

Thanks Falcury, the effort you've put into keeping the forum up to date is much appreciated.
And nice that it now uses PHP 7.

...which is faster.

And thanks Falcury!

Edit: Falcury, if you would like to take a look at this thread from here and especially at this post.

It appears that attaching images (and possibly other content) currently results in an "Error parsing server response." error message.

[Edit: I think the problem is that allow_url_include is used somewhere in the code, which is deprecated as of PHP 7.4.]

By the way, at this point, Princed's "Files" page at https://www.princed.org/downloads/ is quite outdated.
It, for example, presents SDLPoP 1.16 as that program's latest version.
One basic solution might be start each section with a message that explains where to get the most recent software.
Example:
For the latest SDLPoP, visit https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/releases
Another example:
For the latest MININIM, visit https://oitofelix.github.io/mininim/#download
Yet another one:
For the latest apoplexy, visit https://www.apoplexy.org/d/
etc.

Yeah, I just run into this bug.

F12 -> Network tab showed this response when I tried to upload the attachment:

Code: Select all

{"data":[{"attach_id":3714,"is_orphan":1,"real_filename":"DOS_loose_above_gate.png","attach_comment":"","filesize":4147}],"download_url":".\/download\/file.php?mode=view&amp;id=3714"}<br />
<b>Deprecated</b>:  Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />

PHP 7 has some seriously breaking changes.

Let's hope PHP 7 code will not break (at least a lot) in future!

Looking in file.php, maybe this is the offending line, although I'm not fully sure (line 150):

Code: Select all

include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

I set the PHP handler to version 7.1, hopefully this fixes the problem for now.
At least the error message doesn't seem to show up for me anymore.

I just had to use the recover password functionality, because the forum no longer accepted my (old) password.
When I then tried (re)setting the password to my old password, it didn't accept it because it lacked certain required character types.

I had the same problem yesterday. (I thought it was just me.) I wonder if it could be related to me changing the PHP handler. I don’t know how that would matter, but it’s the only thing I can think of right now.

Same happened to me just now.

And now, the forum is saying current password is incorrect!

Something's seriously messed up. I guess I'll have to reset the password by email.

Edit: Done now. I noticed the URL has been changed. Maybe that's the reason? Although it doesn't seem right to my programmer's brain.
