The Syndicate

Hey all, if you're going to try and update your profile (in the edit profile in user control panel), there is currently a field that will let you set your posts per page (***IT DOESN'T WORK, sorry, looking into how it's there because it wasn't when I updated the board, and I see no reason it should be there***), which, by default, is empty. In order to not get an SQL error when making a change to anything else in the edit profile area though, you need to put a number in there (1-100).

Got rid of it, so ignore that.

The site has been updated to phpbb 3.3.2 (from 3.1.0... we were pretty outdated). It did cost us a few extensions that weren't kept up to date for this version, most notably posts per page (which let each user set that to their own preference). I'll try to find a replacement. The banner is also currently gone (I've reached out to LC to see if he has a copy of it handy. I know I have one backed up a flashdrive with everything else somewhere, just not sure which one, those are a disorganized mess rn, so worst case I'll dig through that).

Outside of that, things should be stable now. If you have any issues, please let me know here or in Discord (screenshots are helpful).

Mobile data, not SMS (that's a messaging standard ) :P

But that would make sense. It shouldn't happen a lot though, if the transition from one connection to the other is seamless (being on data while out and about and then getting home and your phone goes onto wifi) it shouldn't be noticeable. If you're trying to load a page when your internet is being spotty and then it drops and then tries to continue loading after it switches to data, I can see that. Connectivity issues plus some of the more archaic aspects of PHP certainly wouldn't play nicely.

Also experiencing an issue where "remember me" doesn't seem to work on mobile.

Ah, hadn't spotted that with the footer when I fixed the header a while back. I'll add it to the list.

I believe other people have mentioned the same issue with remember me not always working, but I've never been able to troubleshoot why, it isn't browser or OS based from what I can tell.
