The new TAT2.0. And how it works (technical questions)

[texasniteowl]

OK...apparently I do have one extension installed in chrome. my password manager (lastpass). And according to the following discussion, it is the problem. I would never have guessed lastpass would be the cause. https://www.resetera.com/threads/firefo ... se.616491/

Apparently lastpass has been notified and is working on it.

Ok, that was odd. Will keep it in mind.

With these things, the offending thing is often one which seems least likely.
Process of elimination (though it can take a while)...

Hi gang.
As we have entered October, Fred the bat is back, and I have uploaded a new theme: pro_silver_halloween. Customizable individually via the UCP.
Have a happy month

A small thing, and certainly not hugely important, but it would be convenient to have...

There are page numbers at the top of the 'Recent Topics' list - to go through the pages of the 'Recent Topics'... But those page numbers are only at the top - once we scroll to the bottom of the list of 'Recent Topics', it would be nice to have the page numbers also listed there - at the bottom of the list of 'Recent Topics', rather than have to scroll back up to the top of the list to select the next page of 'Recent Topics'.

As I said - not a very important matter, but something I've been wondering about, as we often see page numbers listed both at the top and the bottom of lists like this.
I've tried all of the different 'styles' (or 'themes') - prosilver and all the others - and none of them have the page numbers at the bottom of the list.

Is there a fairly easy way to get the page numbers listed at the top AND bottom of the 'Recent Topics' list?
(Unlike other features, I don't even know what to search for in the phpBB help forums, etc. for this.)
Thanks.

No. That is an extension that is made by an independent programmer, and his setup, as you say, only lets you see the pages left in the RECENT TOPICS at the top.
And my studies of PHP never got to the point of being able to modify and add to these extensions.
Sorry about that.

[Deuce]

Ok.
It's odd that the programmer didn't include page numbers at the bottom of the 'Recent Topics' list, as well - as there are numbers at the top and at the bottom of every page within each thread, which is the most common way.

Dear all.
As we have reached December, I have enabled our usual Xmas theme. Plus, if you feel so inclined, I uploaded a simple theme with Xmas colors: Pro-silver Xmas.
If you want to use it.

^ The functions of the smashing lights, the snow, and even the Santa hat, can all be enabled or disabled independently in the User Control Panel.

I can't remember if I mentioned this workaround before, but I know someone else had this problem before.

If you are on mobile using a Chrome browser and cannot login to the site because clicking on that word will not load the login screen for whatever reason, switch your browser view to Desktop and then try clicking the Login button and hopefully that gets you to the correct page to login to the site. Also, consider saving the login URL for future attempts to login, as that seems to always load no matter the view.

You should be able to turn off Desktop view and continue logged in using a regular mobile browsing screen.


Also, and I think this only applies to memorized passwords, but if you want your browser to remember your login so you don't have to keep logging back in on each visit. Click the "Remember Me" box BEFORE entering your login credentials. I don't recall it doing this last year, but once you enter memorized details, the login happens without clicking OK or anything, so you won't have the opportunity to select the Remember Me option after that point and will need to login on your next visit most likely.

We updated to 3.3.9, but not without hiccups.
One of the extensions that we have (the bread crumb menu) created a problem as it had one line of code that did not allow for 3.3.9 to work. As the extension is NOT part of the phpBB team's work, it was not announced as having compatibility issues.
I was able to update and delete the guilty ext, and found a new one; if you use the breadcrumbs (I seldom do) I have yet to enable the new one, as my headache is growing exponentially today and I do not even want to think of the possibility it will crash the site again (ouch, I just did think about it!).
It seems everything else is working fine but, if you notice anything odd, please come here and post it.
Remember: if you are NOT using the pro-silver theme, or one of its variations, not everything works. Test functionality with PS.
