Hia. We just installed the security patch for Invisionboard 2.1.5 which appears to have taken out most of the hacks (thanks Invisionboard people). We'll be reinstalling them as the day goes on, so don't worry if something doesn't appear which used to.

It is now version 2.1.6. I need to re-install the hacks and fix any skin settings (smilie table width, topic start date etc.) as I go. This will take a while. Some that I am working on are: - Chat
- Spell Check
- Reason for Edit
and - Mod Center
Stay tuned! Lori

Spell Check hack now installed on all skins.
Working on Reason for Edit (Peter) next.
I am working on the Logo and smilie table formatting, and the Topic Start date hack.
I need to do extensive re-coding n the LISTED skin so I will skip that one and get back to it when everything else is done.

Reason for Edit and Mod Center hacks now installed.
The pieces I was working on are now complete as well.
Problems with a few skin logos: Vista and Hardwired and still need to re-code Listed.
Will work on CHAT next....

James.
I ended up deleting Vista - it was causing another problem and it did not have the Download this topic feature (which I had previously meailed the designer about last month and he never replied back - so POOF! It's gone now.
I also deleted Listed for the moment. It got messed up too - but I might work on re-coding it (but not tonight)....
I DID however, add a new skin tonight called SubBlack - very cool! I need to play around with it for a bit to see if I like it.
Cheers Cleo

The remaining hacks and code changes are now complete.
Please let us know if you find anything not 'quite right'.

sounds like a major hassle. I hope they get it sorted out properly so you don't have to do this everytime there is a security update.

QUOTE (Jox @ May 13 06, 18:48 ) Thanks Lori and Peter,

J. It's only the 'extra hacks' that we install that become a pain. The database code portions usually get copied over but anything that requires us to go into the skin css (stylesheets) (adding the link for the chat & adding the box for the 'reason for edit' for example) have to manually redone. There really is no way around skin specific coding. Luckily, there aren't many hacks I've added (7) but it must be done on EVERY skin. Since we have so many skins, it takes time. We started around 2pm yesterday and finished at 9pm. QUOTE (Nina @ May 14 06, 00:25 ) sounds like a major hassle. I hope they get it sorted out properly so you don't have to do this everytime there is a security update.
Nina Hi Nina.
Unfortunately, skin specific changes do require re-coding. I've seen some people submit tickets to IPB about it but so far, nothing I would want to incorporate into our code. QUOTE (Toumai @ May 14 06, 02:58 ) Thanks, chaps. I couldn't get in directly this morning, but a quick ammendment to my favs fixed that. Fran Hi Fran.
Funny you should mention it. I just received an email from Steve (ohsteve) saying he cannot log in. What was your issue please? What message did you get?
Regards. Lori

OK, looks like we isolated one issue: The old url, http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/cgi-bin/forums or http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi is no longer valid. Please update your bookmarks/favorite lists - the correct URL for direct access to the forums is http://forums.mosaicmusings.netThanks all! I

Regards. Lori Hi Lori, I was using the addy in my favs, yes. I got a msg something like the page was not available and it gave PClark email addy to contact (so not the generic Explorer page unavailable msg). I reverted to the most basic mosaicmusings.net with no bits added on and it worked fine then. Fran

Hi Fran.
Peter say, "Why didn't you click on the email link to him?"
We've had 18 hits to the OLD URL in the past 13 minutes (since 9:52 am).
It appears that not many members have updated their bookmarks like I had mentioned when we converted.
I will send a board message in a few minutes to remind everyone.
Since we've been live now on the new board for a few weeks, Peter disabled the re-direct from the Ikonboard URL. Please replace your OLD MM forums bookmark that contained a cgi-bin reference (ikonboard) to:
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/ OR http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?act=idx
One can also use our Overlay page URL: http://www.mosaicmusings.net/overlay.html
Cheers! ~Cleo

Hi Lori Peter say, "Why didn't you click on the email link to him?" Erm ... *scratches head* Cos I'm a dingbat? Actually, cos I managed to sort it out and realised it was my Explorer fav addy that was wrong, not a problem with MM itself. We've had 18 hits to the OLD URL in the past 13 minutes (since 9:52 am).
It appears that not many members have updated their bookmarks like I had mentioned when we converted. I will send a board message in a few minutes to remind everyone.Excellent idea Thanks, Lori, Peter

Hi again.
Instead of sending an email, Peter is going to make it so that if you go to the old URL, it will no longer re-direct you to the new one (he had just turned it back on today).
It will contain a message instructing them to 'update their bookmarks' with the new URL.
Cheers! ~Cleo
