Yeah, I really do like the idea of the home page having forum info, e.g., recent posts, most read, etc. I've been playing around with a portal approach, altering the core PHPBB forum app. I've been able to successfully migrate the database to a beta site and all info, users and user avatars were in place, cool! But, when I worked on integrating this portal, http://www.board3.de/, it crashed on me; problems with talking to the database. Lots of mods to the code needed. So I wiped it all and now doing another fresh install and giving this portal a try, http://www.phpbb3portal.com/. The goal is to keep and make a new portal template using the current one, then add a gallery into the forums itself. I throw up a link to the beta site once I get something up that's working and ready for tweaking. |

I have a question about the "Youtube imbedding" I assume it means that the video can be played from the thread instead of following a link right? And can we do that now? That would be a great improvement ![]() And then just an observation; when we first started using the RSS feed I didn't like it. i thought it changed the character of the forum to much. But then i got used to to it. Now I can't imagine not having it. So change is inevitable. Do what works best for you Manny and i am sure I speak for many when i say "We Love This Forum!". Bison of the net let us move in grace. ^j^ . ~ |

Yep, the video will play in the post here as opposed to redirecting you to the YouTube site. Yeppers, will be making sure that RSS is still a feature on the new version of this site, along with other features, like a built in Gallery. Change --> evolution, which I hopefully will met the needs of our community and then some ![]() |

For folks who have existing accounts on THIS SITE. Can some folks head over to the beta site below and test out the database for me? I want to know if you are able to log into your existing account and post. Post into this thread if you can or can not. [beta site URL removed] There's still a lot of work to be done; just working on the architectural foundation for now. THANKS! |

Thanks folks, good to see the database migrated over successfully in preparation for the final migration. OK, got that major problem worked out. The beta site's about 75% done. Currently working on the gallery and porting the mods to the stickist theme, so that menu link doesn't work yet. Take a looksee, any f/b appreciated, though post it here in case I wipe the beta site's database again. [beta site URL removed] |

Question ... will we need to use a different address to access the forum or will it be http://www.stickist.com? Also it seems some members are posting there and not here already! ![]() ![]() |
