UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums News and Releases Announcements Changelog Discussions 7.5.2 Discussion

Only asking don't shoot me

Doubtful, Rick wants as few releases between now and v8 as possible; so since the current bug's aren't *show stoppers* and theres just a handful, it can be put off slightly as to ensure we don't have to have a 7.5.4

For me, since I'm having zero problems with 7.5 I'll probably just wait for the release of v8.0.

I do plan on getting 7.5.3 out by the end of the month, probably within the next week or so.

My problems only began with 7.5 so I'll upgrade as often as possible in the hope that those problems will be mitigated.

That said, it looks like I am the only one with this problem so I wouldn't worry about upgrading.

I've done it a few times recently and the upgrade path is (touch wood) very smooth.

That's fine by me. . .
Just like to plan upgrades with time to spare at a weekend.

I hope you get yours sorted Driv

Is there a way to increase the maximum replies to a post?

Hmm, there is no limit to the number of replies to a post. Do you mean the number shown on each page?

I have a group of people who use the PM feature to respond to on ongoing discussion. There are 2200+ nested replies. When we installed the update there is no longer a place to submit a reply. It says we have exceed the 100 replies. Here is the message:

This topic has reached it's maximum length of 100 posts. You cannot add any more posts to this topic.


Is there a way around this?

Yes you just need to edit your permissions in the control panel.
Control Panel » Site Permissions
There are now three permissions for private topics.
they are in each of the three columns about the middle of the screen.
When you expand each option you will see a note for what the permission is for.

226019 should be split into its own topic in the how do i forum... None of us mods have access to this forum to do maintenance...

I know that I mentioned this before in another forum and it was possible, but can secure ssl logins and CP be implemented? It just needs a way of specifying a second path for the CP and login scripts.

Most proper hosting uses a second https directory rather that a shared directory.

Then it's a matter of activating a checkbox use secure ssl logins and cp. A new box to set the https path both web and absolute path. Anyone using shared can use the same absolute path.

Only need to copy in a second https only the files mentioned.

When you look today with most ISP stopping plain mail logins and FTP and other forums like vbulletin offering secure CP and logins the feature should be available.

Thanks!

Actually, a "proper" host would generally allow SSL on the same directory as the standard web path; at least in my experience of both working for a webhost and maintaining several servers for users...

The SSL directory can be anything they choose the path to be, and, imho, should be the standard web directory...

oi, 23 hours....

Hospital time with kid has kinda sidetracked that schedule a bit

ouch, I hope they're ok.

Hey Rick, any update on the munchkin? Hope the little on is doing OK.

He's finally home from the hospital after a few days, so things are getting better. Also, it keeps me away from every sick person going to the hospital thinking they have Swine Flu.

Thanks for the update. Having raised a couple of kids, I know how it can frazzle your nerves when you put kid and hospital into the same sentence.
