Fatal error: Cannot redeclare boardwatch_draw_acp_prefs() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/seibertron.com/httpdocs/energonpub/includes/functions_boardwatch.php:21) in /var/www/vhosts/seibertron.com/httpdocs/energonpub/includes/functions_boardwatch.php on line 42

Hm ... I'm not sure what's causing this exactly. The file that includes the new "board watch" functions must be getting included more than once. I modified the author's code so that it would only include the functions once. Please let me know if you continue having problems. If you do, please let me know how I can duplicate the problem. Thanks.

Duplicating is not a problem. I go to the Moderator Control panel, see which posts are waiting approval. Tick the ones I know are good, open the ones that aren't. Then when I'm happy with what needs approving I click on Approve.

Rough estimate would be it works 1/3 and fails 2/3 times. If I just refresh it goes through fine.

Are you continuing to have problems since I implemented a fix last night?

Haven't had a chance to test it. Will let you know if it happens again though.

How can I get in touch with an administrator to help me get my old profile back? It never accepts my old password and reseting it never works either. And now it says I "don't participate enough" to PM Ryan or another administrator to ask for help! It's like I'm not wanted as a member here or something, yet I used to be contributing and as active as it gets. SMH

Haven't had any problems since.

Are you able to shoot an e-mail to staff explaining how this works? There's a couple of members who are legit that keep getting caught up.

I'm surprised no one complained about this problem ... for the past couple of weeks, the posting a new post or topic was taking about 15 to 30 seconds. I had enabled a feature to check everyone's IP address against an IP blacklist to help prevent SPAM bots. Apparently this feature kills the speed of posting on phpBB. I disabled this feature and have noticed a incredible speed increase when posting on the forums. If anyone else can confirm that this problem has been resolved for them, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

testing ...

test

testing to verify refresh after successful post reduced from 3 seconds to 1 second.

I also modified it so that the page that shows up after you post to let you know that your message was successfully posted will refresh in 1 second instead of 3. Let me know how you guys like that.

My internet's always had terrible speed and has been worse recently itself, so I think I just put it down to that-I'll see what happens posting this though.

EDIT: Well, it was certainly better
Not great mind you, but as I mentioned my internet speed's always been on the poor side

How'd it work for you?

^Like that, not that I actually counted the seconds, probably should have made that clearer in the original post

What's a guy gotta do to get this addressed around here and why do I keep getting ignored?

Have you tried the "Contact Us" page at the top?

Hi! I have a question. Lately I´ve been recieving an email for each comment made in a topic, even the ones I only visit without comenting or commented a while ago.
I already changed my post notification options but since I haven´t done that in a long time and this problem is recent, I assume the settings were changed somehow.

Should I be worried someone hacked into my account? is it my fault for not making any updates in the settings so they changed into a standard? just a glitch?

Thank you very much.

It's a setting I changed. I just changed everyone's settings back to the original default. If people want to change it on their own, they can go back into their settings and modify it accordingly.

Thanks, I had an attack to my gmail account at around the same time this started, so I got a little paranoid. Thanks again.

Screen captures in the Headmasters cartoon data base aren't showing up. All that appears are red X's.

I don't even know why I bother comming back here. This place is a waste land and the owner continues to ignore the problems.

This is not vital, but it would be nice if it get fixed.
I'm talking about the emoticons.

I want to make the "tongue", but all I get is:
I wanna make the "super grin", but all I get is:

I will not test them all, but these two I wannaused from times to times and they always come out wrong... (at least, "sad face" work...)

This has been an issue for a while, but I can't remember if it had been reported. The quick fix is to copy the emoticon's URL and paste in IMG tags.

The site's clock is about five hours behind. I've got it set to -5 and DST is turned on, but the site's clock says it's 5PM, when it's really 10PM.

Try typing the work citchen(with a k though not a c), for me it changes it to "place to cook food". Am I being punked or what here?

It did to me too. I bet it's just a spambot filter.
