No problem! Setting this to resolved.

The plugin “BBCode Deluxe” was the culprit for the stripping the paragraph breaks, even when a user did a double return. Deactivating returned the paragraph breaks.

The plugin was the attempt to add more formatting options and BBCode to the forums (See this thread).

Forum posts will now appear as they look when creating a post. If you…[Read more]

The old FM forum did have different settings on some of the boards. Which were different from the old OLD FM forum.

In the old OLD FM forum most of the boards were visible only to those logged in. However, the main board and a few others were visible to browsers. I remember that because I read through those a little bit to see what kind of…[Read more]

I signed up for a free account so I could poke around. Some of it looks really nifty! I was hoping it had a map-creating tool, as I can’t run Campaign Cartographer (would love to). But, alas, it does not. You create a map outside the site, then upload it. World Anvil then has a tool that can overlay pins and notes on top of it. But they are…[Read more]

I wonder if this is the author and article Dean Wesley Smith alluded to in a recent blog post? He didn’t reveal the identity, but wow, it sure got him on a good rant. LOL 😛

Well, here we get to the issue of PHP version. I can expand the editor, or better, replace it. But it requires a newer PHP version. The new upgraded site will do just fine with the PHP upgrade, but the issue we saw on the old forum of no index will reappear. On the old site, unless a person has a bookmark to a specific topic, you will not be able…[Read more]

Fixed!

I wonder just how long it’s had that typo, considering I imported it as-is from the old forums. 😛

I went ahead and deleted the old page. 🙂

Link in the header has been changed to the page that was once linked in the sidebar. Took that sidebar portion out and rearranged 3 widgets in a different order (also consolidated them).

Are you talking about the widget “Site Wide Activities [RSS]”? If so, it no longer reports forum activity. It does, however, list other activity including any…[Read more]

I forgot about the link in the header. Fortunately that is an easy fix. Took the ‘resolved’ off the post to remind me to work on it when I get home from work.

Two months is too long for my life at the moment, but I would love to see the 1-month challenges come back!

I changed out one of the widgets so I could fine-tune the access settings. The Forum Activity area now only shows the basic header information but does not include any snip from the posts.

The other widget I changed to exclude the forum but includes everything else. This way we still have plenty of activity updates on the right side of the site…[Read more]

I now have all three put into the “Forward Motion” drop-down menu at the bottom: Login, Recover Password, Register

Good point. Login moved up so it has a better chance of being above the fold. Now for the rest.

Resolved!

The boards are visible, but the latest post next to that board now has a note of: “Only registered and logged in users can see private forum boards.” Clicking on the board name will redirect the users to the login page.

This way potential new users can see what other boards are available, but cannot go into them or see the posts. Doing…[Read more]
