Thank you so much. </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/28#post-52 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 11:06:10 +0000 ryan 52@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>I just uploaded a holiday themed logo to a forum of mine and was wondering how many of y'all do the same. </p> <p>In my case it's a <a href="http://photoartsforum.com">photography forum</a> and the normal logo has an O replaced with an aperture design. For the holidays I replaced it with a Christmas ornament. I went for subtle because I don't like it when a forum totally replaces their theme for a holiday.</p> <p>Anybody tried this? Do your visitors like it? Do they even notice? </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/24#post-43 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 17:07:36 +0000 ryan 43@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>I've noticed the following showing up as a page request over the past few days on one of <a href="http://photoartsforum.com">my SMF forums</a>. Best I can tell is it's a spam robot trying to register but getting stuck by the captcha code. </p> <p><code>?action=register Result: pictocode could not be decoded;registered (registering only mode is ON);</code></p> <p>Since it seems like the spammer isn't successful it may not be that much of an issue, but I'm banning his IP anyway just to be safe.</p> <p>I also had a really hard time finding anything on the web about this issue, so if you've come here and know anything else that can be done please let us know. </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/13#post-28 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:12:50 +0000 ryan 28@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>I've read a lot of discussions that suggest seeding a forum with posts from fake members. Personally I find this dishonest and I don't plan on doing it here. Yes, this forum only has two posters as I'm typing this but I think the potential is there to lose a lot of trust from members and my gut says that that potential is worse than any advantage to gaining members. </p> <p>What do you think? Is it worth the potential loss of trust if you get caught? </p> <p>Does it depend on the forum and what you're discussing? </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/10#post-24 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:59:03 +0000 Anonymous 24@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>Yay! Yes it is :) the slash is becoming my little enemy ..heehee :) That's the second day of mine you've made! Again, thanks so very much! Since I'm new to this, the chances are good that I may need more help along the way. I'll look for you if I do. Thanks Ryan! </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/10#post-23 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:46:33 +0000 ryan 23@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>Looks like it's working :) </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/10#post-22 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:14:19 +0000 Anonymous 22@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>Okay, I think I understand ..not fully, but I'm just hanging in there enough :) I am going to do what you say and change the paths and see if that fixes it.</p> <p>I'll try putting in the slash first. </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/10#post-21 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:04:28 +0000 ryan 21@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>The /index.php/ isn't an actual folder. It looks like SMF is doing some type of rewrite to make the URI more "search engine friendly". What's happening is the server is trying to serve the file /forum/index.php/board,4.0.html and when it can't find it it sends that path to the SMF software which then pulls the board with ID #4 and starts at 0 with the posts (the 4.0 part of the URI). I use a modification called SEO4SMF which does something similar.</p> <p>What you're going to need to do is change the image links to use either a full URI (<a href="http://example.com/forum/filename.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/forum/filename.jpg</a>) or put a slash on the front so it starts from your site root (/forum/filename.jpg). </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/10#post-20 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:55:19 +0000 Anonymous 20@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>Lol, thanks, it's good to know that I'm not as bad at this than I thought :)</p> <p>Yes, that is the correct URL. I downloaded the Firefox tool bar that you suggested and wow ..I never knew about that. It helps a lot! It did say that there are 49 broken images.</p> <p>I'm not showing an index.php folder, only a PHP file(that's what is says under "type"), plus the thumbnail is of a file, not a folder. How about this ..if I create the path(create an index.php folder), will it work?</p> <p>Plus, I'm not seeing the board,4.0.html file either. Am I supposed to have a file for that in my database? </p> http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/topic/10#post-19 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:46:59 +0000 ryan 19@http://forumsblogswikis.com/forum/ <p>One other suggestion since you mentioned that you're using Firefox would be to install the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60">web developer toolbar</a>. There is a tool there that allows you to list any "broken" images along with their paths. </p>
