1.9.12 Open Discussion

Welcome to a fresh section just about 1.9.12.

It's all fair game:

Bugs
Critique
Ideas
Pandemics
Requests
Support

Just don't bring up your crazy problems with other versions you'll never upgrade.

try a reply without attaching files

Seems to be an issue when replying and attaching files.

If you try again, the files seem to be already in the post as [ file]nnnn[ /file] and then it works

Welp. Apparently the PHP round() function doesn't return an integer. Who knew! Thank you for testing.

The new file is here: attach.inc.php HEAD version

The tracking is here: https://bugs.xmbforum2.com/view.php?id=596

I've edited the FAQ text a bit.

Emoji test...

Great work all

Going to install a shiny new copy of the ultra-fresh 1.9.12 Beta 1

Nice! 🙋‍♂️

Should the smilie section in the FAQs be updated with a simple statement saying Emoji are supported?

Smilies and emojis are definitely two different things. I doubt this needs to communicated though. Just use your favorite emoji keyboard.

Are you xmb3r on the alpha site? I could set you up as admin to play around there.

Yes, that's me.

Gee, those large images in this topic are annoying. Be good if they resized to not blow out the width of the forum. 🤣

just testing images again

Got it. Was a typo.

That URL doesn't even work for me.

I was able to save this one with no problem:

https://hot.miqrogroove.com/avs/oh%20yes.png

This works too:

http://economics.mit.edu/static/comm_images/qje_thumb.jpg

You will have to help me replicate the problem you're seeing. All I can see on my end is a broken link.

That isn't actually my URL I'll PM you the actual link

I guess this explains the slow responses I was experiencing too.

XMB does allow non-https avatars, and I just noticed it causes some problems. Added that here:

https://bugs.xmbforum2.com/view.php?id=610

I think it needs either non-https avatar blocking, or maybe better would be to allow avatar uploads. I think we had a mod for avatar uploads before but it wasn't very nice. Let's get that sorted out before Beta 2.

Edit: The larger issue is that we allow non-https images to appear in many places where bbcode is allowed. So this points to blocking as part of the solution, in signatures for example.

Seems to be a castrated 🐑 on line 100 in config.php [unrelated to the DB connection issue mentioned in the previous post and is a trivial thing]

I have no idea what this means.

A 'wether' is a castrated ram/sheep. It's a typo and should be 'whether'

got another db connection error just now

If it makes you feel better, I could add a 500 or 503 header to that error message. https://bugs.xmbforum2.com/view.php?id=614

Just pointing out that I was seeing DB connection errors - either host is having issues, you were doing some project work, or whatever causes the error. Ie - letting you know in case you weren't aware of the brief outage.
