Server updates

[Ersh]

I use an external avatar, which doesn't appear here since the update. Though it's shown (like Lethargeek mentioned) in my profile.

Mine appears fine which is odd as do the ones for PeteProdge, Morkin, @Ast A. Moore and R-Tape.

Yeah, except my mention didn’t work. Didn’t get an email or a notification badge on the forums.

I think that maybe because I edited the post to add you. I think it only works on the initial creation.

Oh, yeah. You’re coming in loud and clear now.

Remote Avatars is turned off because 'Enabling this feature might allow users to check for the existence of files and services that are only accessible on the local network.'

If you previously had a remote Avatar please upload locally. Thanks.

My avatar is too large to use locally. Oh well.

As long as it's not too big [mention]Ersh[/mention], I can increase the maximum file size. How large is the file in bytes?

It's around 24kb. It doesn't really matter though, I can live without it (or pick another avatar).

OK [mention]Ersh[/mention],

Thank you for your understanding.

I need to reboot the server at around 12.00 BST today to apply some Ubuntu Server updates. Should only take 5 minutes.

The update to the latest version of phpbb (Our forum software) seems to have resulted in an issue with deleting private messages. Looking at the phpBB forums this seems quite a common issue. If you select the ones you want to delete, then scroll to the bottom of the page, select 'Delete Marked' and click OK, you get:



For now you will need to go into each message individually, and delete the message that way. I will investigate further as soon as I am able.

This issue is now fixed. I applied the following fix. It's apparently a known bug:

Let me know if you have any issues.
