I went to permissions to see if that was the problem & it's a blank white page.

I have 3 forums w/ you all.  I just tried to update the profile on 2 of them.  I want to update my password & also my location.  On both forums it's telling me session failed & to log out & log back in & try again.  So I did & it's still telling me session failed.

Thanks for any help. :)

Even here I went to post this & it said session timed out while posting.  That also happens on my sites.  I wonder why?

This one's down too: http://www.smf4free.com/forums/laforce/index.php & has been since last night.

My other 2 are also very slow & custom images are missing.

Thanks for your time. :)

I learned today there's a limit on avatars/attachments.  I was trying to upload death certificates in pdf form.  Now I'll have to go back & delete them all.

Is there a limit on the gallery too?  I was going to upload some graphics but if there's a limit I won't waste my time again.  Thank you for any help. :)

You're the coolest.  And I didn't even see the layout link...or the Exif.  Thanks. :)  If you shut off access...then they can't even use it.  So I shouldn't have to worry about changing a bunch of other settings...like disable password function & such.

But on my style issue everything looks the same to me.  The text is barely readable.  Especially things like child boards.  Or on the admin page with all the menus on the left...all the text is tiny. 

This is why I quit trying to use SMF on my own server.  Actually I had problems with several softwares on my old server.  Drupal was going this & I thought it was the skin & went to the skin creator about it we still haven't figured it out.  www would produce one look but http://www would produce another...in Firefox.  But even in IE there was problems.  So I thought it had something to do with that & was trying to force it to go to http://www or www.  It didn't help. 

We wondered if it was a browser thing but it don't happen on all softwares.  WordPress is usually fine no matter where you go or what you do.

Now I think it was because I was trying to use subdirectories rather then subdomain names.  I think all these softwares mess each other up.

Now I'm here & we got 3 SMF's.  The 2 with the subdomain names are just fine.  The one in the subdirectory looks like the one I had on my server.  I can barely read the text...& I'm used to this.  People older then me...like the ones on the family site...well it might be part of the reason it's so dead.  I'm having a hard time getting people together anyway but if they can't see it...they won't mess with it.

Seems like I had another theme & I switched the text size larger.  But evidently I've switched themes.  I wish I could do it globally across all themes.  Well even if I fix the text it won't fix other problems.  I've attached a screenshot of the family forum's calendar.  Several lines are missing.  I've attached another one of the new forum's calendar.  It's normal.  The same thing happens on the member's list.  It happens most anywhere you have lines separating info...the arcade too.  It's no biggie...just looks a bit weird.

Anyway...thanks again for your help.  I hope you have a great New Year's. :)

I realize it's only been a few hours.  But I originally posted this back in Nov.  2 member galleries looks a bit silly.  All I can do is edit...not delete. 

Is there anyway I can at least shut off the member gallery yet still keep the gallery?  I want one to be a graphics gallery anyway so I don't want a member gallery.  Thanks for any help. :)

Guides and Tutorials / Re: [Guide] Dealing with Spam
« on: December 30, 2010, 04:42:50 am »
I'd like to find out more about what we can do with these people.  We can delete & ban but I'd really like to report people & get sites shut down.

Like for example I was using WordPress.  I have a contact me form but this form collects info like people's IP's.  I'm getting all kinds of spam...especially from hosts & people offering SEO services.

This one jerk's IP leads back to an ISP in India so I tried to report this spam to this company & got returned mail stating their mailbox is full or something like that.  If you can't report spam to an ISP...now what?  Who do you report this India based ISP to?  Any help would be much appreciated. :)

I'm back again.  As you can see in my sig I've got 3 sites. 

SMF was fine for the longest time but it's been acting very strangely to me.  Everything seems so much smaller.  I thought it might have something to do with using http:// or www. 

Well the first site I started http://www.smf4free.com/forums/laforce looks smaller to me.  The other 2...which are evidently under subdomain names rather then simply in a directory...look just fine to me.  So I think it might have something to do with subdomain's versus directories.

Also the first one I started has a different links mod then the other 2.  So the ezblock Recent Links does not work.

When I did the first one...& installed the gallery...I had 2 member galleries.  I want one member gallery & one shared gallery with a bunch of albums in it.  I can't delete it or edit it & change it to a shared gallery.  You fixed the first one for me.  But now the other 2 sites have the same problem.

Finally, the ezportal & the gallery are both telling me they need upgraded on all 3 sites.

That's it for now.  Thanks so much.  And Happy Holidays to you all. :)

Advertise Your Board / Cherokee Genealogy

There are 3 main sites for Cherokees & none of them have public discussion forums.

I spent quite a bit of time searching for Cherokee genealogy forums & after 10 pages of searching couldn't find any.  I found some genealogy sites with boards dedicated to Cherokees or Native Americans in general.  Not only do you have to join that genealogy site to get to the board...very few of their boards are organized into categories & boards like it can be with softwares like SMF.  Instead they're long pages with topics posted all willy-nilly you have to scroll through.

Otherwise I found some groups.  But here again you have to join the site...be it MySpace or Facebook or even Yahoo or Gmail...to get to the group. 

The best thing to have is forums...the best forums to have a stand-alone...the best stand-alone to have is one like this one - that can be organized into categories & boards.  So I built one for fellow Cherokees...whether they have a card or not. :)

In my first post I said: Also on the board news block there's "characters to show per entry" (O= unlimited).  I add 0 & get "an error has occurred!  A required parameter value was not entered for Number of characters to show per entry (0 = unlimited)".  This is still a problem.  I can't use 0 for unlimited.  I'm forced to add a limit.

On the avatar - I've taken the time to try it again - edit the settings, delete old pic at 65x65, & reupload the pic again.  There was nothing there but this time I left it a while & eventually my pic appeared & it hasn't been resized to 65x65.  So you just have to wait a while.

Even though the gallery's been upgraded there's still this problem: I'm having a problem with it having 2 member galleries.  I want one gallery for all users to share & one the way it is...private member galleries.

I do understand about not wanting to add mods.  But since we can create pages - can we create a donations page?  That's the only way I could "pass it on".

I don't know why I thought "track daily stats" was automatically checked but it sure isn't.  Thanks for that. :) 

And my pages are real slow to load today.  At the bottom of the screen it's saying "ad.technoratimedia.com".  I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Thank you for upgrading & I always thank you so much for your time. :)

As far as your portal problem - you can only have one of them enabled or it will show 2 Home tabs.

I've never had 2 home tabs so I've never had both enabled at the same time.

Plus I forgot something.  Most online will not change.  I know at least 2 of us have been on at the same time plus at least one or two guests yet it stays at "most online ever 1".  I've tried to do some forum maintenance & that didn't help.

I just started a 2nd board.  I'm just wondering why there's 2 portholes.  I tried to use Legacy again & I still can't change the width of the columns.  Also it don't offer as much as EzPortal.

EzPortal needs upgraded.  Also on the board news block there's "characters to show per entry" (O= unlimited).  I add 0 & get "an error has occurred!  A required parameter value was not entered for Number of characters to show per entry (0 = unlimited)".

There's still a problem with the cache so board posts are slow to appear but also it's causing problems with the avatars & portal.  At least I think?  I tried to change the avatars from 65x65 to 100x100, I deleted my other avatar & reuploaded it & the new one would not appear.  I tried this 2-3 times & it simply wouldn't work.  So I changed it back to 65x65, reuploaded it & left it.  Eventually it reappeared.  As far as the portal I wanted all the blocks to appear on the portal page only.  Yet when I saved them they'd pop right up.  I picked the right setting so when I edited them all I could do was re-save them.  This was all it took to fix them.  Then at some point I forgot to edit & re-save & moved on to something else.  After a couple of clicks they were fixed anyway.  So you don't have to waste your time to edit & re-save.

The gallery also needs upgraded.  Plus I'm still having a problem with it having 2 member galleries.  I want one gallery for all users to share & one the way it is...private member galleries.

I guess the webpage editor is for legacy because if you use ezportal it has it's own.  I guess if you got rid of Legacy you could get rid of the editor too.

I'd like to see the paid subscriptions or donations mod added.  Surely if we could get donations you would too. 

That's it for now & I thank you for all your help every time I come here.  You're always right on top of things & I appreciate it. :)

General Discussion / Re: Dynamic Signature Came Out Great!!
« on: September 23, 2010, 11:48:03 pm »
I thought this would automatically post sig banners where users don't have one (haven't edited their profiles & added one).

I think the fact you can upload a sig or edit colors is confusing.

If you're supposed to be able to see something (current signature), I do not.  I keep trying to upload a 468x60 png & nothing. 

Since it gives you code to post I tried to post the bbcode into my sig under my profile.  It's not showing up...not on my profile or the boards.

I'm just flat confused.  Unless someone's an admin & can reach the back end - how are they gonna get this code from under "promote your forum"?

Clarification would be much appreciated.  :)
