Re: Something up?
Was looking for a post on the phpbb forums that had a problem similar to this. This thread looks very similar and this was the response from the support team. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... p=15217691
PhpBB will compute the page to show by a formula using the number of posts in the topic divided by the number of posts per page. If the retrieved posts does not match the total posts, then the page might be wrong. I have seen this happen, for instance, when a user has been removed and his posts have not, because that user's posts are not retrieved when the posts table is joined with the user table, so the post count is inconsistent.
Hope this can help.

This might well be in the right ballpark, we do have deleted users, whose posts are still on the site, and some of those on both the glued and WTF threads, but this has happened in other threads before without that anomaly. Although that could be a separate issue related to twitter embed script. Also the query on the phpbb forum is about search, and this impact would sort of make sense in that context, not sure how it would affect thanks function though.
I'm tempted to test this theory in order to rule it out by simply creating a "Anyone still glued to this? MK II" and a "Wtf moment of the day" MK II threads, in which deleted users will not be participating.
Anybody have any objections to this idea? They're both popular threads and I know people can get weirdly attached to threads!

Re: Something up?
I'd probably object on principle if I had even the vaguest idea about such things but I'm happy whatever you do as long as it doesn't involve the Canadians.

Re: Something up?
On further reflection, losing confidence in this theory, as there other examples of threads with deleted users' posts in them eg vaccine thread that are working with no problem.

Am a great believer in creating parallel realities, so no objection from me to the duplication of any thread for testing purposes.

Anyone notice the issue when thanking posts?

Re: Something up?
Yeah, it's a kind of a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't glitch. Still better than having to put up with Vanilla as a discussion board software.
Re: Something up?
It's because when people join then leave it scrambles up the post count. And some threads are just irretrievably scrambled. It might be worth doing part two on some popular ones and enforcing a Hotel California policy going forward. You can check out any time you want but you can never leave.

Re: Something up?
I have somehow activated dark mode, I like it but I can't figure out how I did it.
Are there any other fancy tricks I can try out?

Dark mode is about as fancy as we get. You can toggle it on and off, top right beside your username.Leg End Reject wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 9:43 pm I have somehow activated dark mode, I like it but I can't figure out how I did it.

Re: Something up?
Testing I can post gifs here and I just happened to pick this one, completely at random of course.
Yay
Yay
Re: Something up?
How do you do it? I managed once or maybe twice but I can't remember how.
You will notice "skipping" on some threads as complained about above. It's what we do for penance given that this is a hell site.

Re: Something up?
Go to the full reply box, you'll see formatting symbols under the subject line. On the right of that line you'll see a picture symbol, click on that and the following appears.
Add the url of your gif between the brackets.
It's a bit fiddly, I have to make a space between the brackets before I could manage to paste the url, but youcould also just type the img tags at either end of the url.

Re: Something up?
FFS it changes even if I try it manually! I'll do it with spaces so it shows.
[\I m g]
Don't add the spaces between img.
Still not working, I'll try to add a screenshot.

Re: Something up?
I couldn't find how to get the URL so I downloaded the gif and added as an attachment which seems to work but doesn't look as neat. I'll try again when not tired. But meanwhile....

Re: Something up?
Once you select your gif press and hold on it, then select "open in new tab". Go to the new tab and copy the url.

Re: Something up?
I googled for "worlds most boring photo" ... this is what I got ...
No doubt it will go up for auction and some pretentious nob end will buy it for $200,000....

Cheap at that and more likely some money laundering nob will buy it.
