Most users do seem to get correct notifications, however. Just some aren't. Any others experiencing this problem?

It was a great springboard for me and really got me into that software, even though all I knew about php before then was the syntax and the basics, what attracted me was the layman like examples of code that enabled me to build more than a hello world plugin and I got brave enough to actually write a cross site authentication plugin that allowed users to all be registered in one database and authenticate everywhere or for each site to replicate signups across the network of sites (and a few bits besides) but I could not have done it without the examples that made me brave.

Lots of people have good Ideas that never get programmed simply because as soon as they start looking at how a particular system works it gets confusing without good sign posts and they run.

What I am looking for is support for this idea as we all know the Vanilla crew are busy people, are there any app or plugin programmers out there willing to contribute to this site if i create it ?

Are there any people out there willing to help maintain it ?

What do you think of the idea ?

IMHO I think it could be a really good thing for vanilla in helping people build the confidence to give it a go.

What do you think ?

Not here the problem starts. My users think they have successfullly signed up but then see there is no option to add new posts or comment. So they leave the forum and half of them never returns.

One of my member had previously asked me how he can contribute coz he couldn't find the option to start new threads. At that point this issue didn't come into my mind and now I know what's causing the confusion?

Please suggest some solution to add a notice after the users are signed up to confirm email before continuing.

The forum is here environmentabout.com/forum

Would search engines will be able to index somedomain.com/forums#/categories/general ??

thanx a lot buzz

• If using a zipped .txt.gz file (as generated by the exporter), the import page keeps the email and password information but presents the error "ImportFile is required".
• If using an unzipped .txt file, the import page forgets all previous input and presents three errors; "You must select a file to import.", "Email is required." and "Password is required."

My current installation is a fresh 2.0.18.2 with no changes what so ever. I've tried all different combinations of "Use my Current Password" and "Generate import SQL only", but I never got past the import input page.

As I'm unable to see any sort of error message, I have no idea where to go from here. Please advice! I even tried adding;

$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['LogEnabled'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['LogFile'] = 'logs/error-log';
$Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';

but no logs/ directory is created, so I'm assuming no errors there. (I've restarted apache).

Also tried clearing the cache directory and verified directory permissions to uploads/conf/cache directories.

Edit the .css file to change what items are removed.

I've got a bit of a weird problem here.

When a user goes to http://ripwire.netscapist.com the page shows no discussions, but when they login, all the discussions are there.

Can someone help me so the discussions show without having to login!. Thanks

I've checked and the gdn.inform function in global.js is not being fired, so there's no message appearing.

The forum us set up so new users move to the Confirm Email role until they confirm.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I checked permissions of posting members and they are OK.

settings > categories "Do not display the categories in the side panel." is unchecked

So our question is, whether it is feasible to implement a comment on questions/answers solution.

thanks a lot.

Is there a way to remove the HourOffset update? The data stored upon registration is correct, so this can be used to calculate the time.

Firstly, thank you for all the help I've had recently. It's appreciated! :)

I'm using Vanilla 2.0.18.2 on default theme and looking at the text input box for both new discussions and new comments. It auto-scrolls when people are typing, which is great, but many of our targetted users are elderly and frankly get confused when they can't see all their text at once. Using the scroll bar for them can be fiddly.

I like what we have here, with the auto-resizing of the text input box so it gets bigger, rather than scrolling. I'd also like the ability to manually resize it, just like here.

I've searched the forums and it seems this question pops up ocassionally, but is either not answered or relates to a addon issue. Also, nothing pops up when I do an addon search.

How can I achieve the same effect on my forum?

Thanks :)

(NB: I'm still a beginner remember, though learning fast thanks to you guys!)

I am using the latest version of Vanilla. Site: www.nigerianz.com

Any form of help will be appreciated on this. Thank you.

I want to know if any default caching is done in vanilla because many times when I try to log out from vanilla forums, it doesn't log me out and keep me signed in. I try to clear script cache but to no difference.

I have to close the browser and delete browser cache to log out.

Secondly when I try to change the theme, the page only reloads but doesn't change the theme. It only happens some times.

can someone tell me how I can figure out to setup a number of categories per discussion I use on my startpage because I use: index.php?p=categories/discussions.

Thanks, Sash
