Wedge

I haven't touched phpBB 2 in a decade, I have looked at phpBB 3 more recently but still not that ideal.

So it is, heh. But I found it quite good to explain what's going on ;)

Message:
! Sync internal BB implementation to BB 2.2.2's ruleset (the ones we're actually using, anyway) (Security.php)
! Fix, hopefully once and for all, CIDR matching system. (Subs.php)

@This should fix latent issues we've had with MSN being blocked. Note that the code does accept IPv6 CIDR blocks, but won't accept subnets larger than 64 bits for matching purposes, which is how IPv6 is structured anyway, so something like ::ffff:0:0:0:0/96 won't work for matching (but it's not supposed to as far as I understand it, even though /128 is valid you'd never use it where CIDR matching occurs)

If you're getting them regularly, something is wrong. It might be a dehydration thing, it might be improper setup of computer+desk, general neck tension or something else, but if you have them more than occasionally, you should probably look into it...

This is the beauty of plugins: no-one's forcing you to make a decision either way but if you want the option, you can have it.

Yes, we knew about that, it's a bug in the preparser and is even already in Bug Reports...

Nice :)

Of course you can use it to chat, but firstly it's set up for threaded conversations and secondly it's mostly a 1-on-1 conversation  held in public, if that makes sense. It is, essentially, a miniature version of Twitter held on the site.

For at least one site I run myself, it would be far from suitable. I run a site that discusses specific software development, and having something that is essentially a private chatroom is much more effective for me; if thoughts were to reload via AJAX and be continuously updated, I might be persuaded to use that instead, but as it stands, I'd much, much rather make use of a dedicated shoutbox facility where I could chat with other forum members 'live' and have it be 'everyone chats here, posting to the same wall', such as it is. Think IRC, but tied directly to the forum rather than running an IRC server.I wasn't actually aware that anyone had completed one for SMF, at least not to the point of being sufficiently completed so as to be usable, though I saw multiple people attempt to start one.
