Topics I've Started

  1. I accidentally the forum

    23 December 2011 - 03:58 AM

    Long story short, someone asked me to take a look because the server was barfing. Turns out that the board was saving error logs that were hundreds of MB large (if not in the GB range, each) and it ran out of disk space.

    Nuked that post-haste, then it turns out that the 'cache' folder isn't just for error-dumping and IPB is too stupid to rebuild the cache when it vanishes, so after I declared the forums working, the only thing working was the index page (and even then most of the generic text was missing). :specialed:

    Fast forward another hour and (after much dicking around in the admin panel with half the text gone) I finally rebuilt the language cache, fixing that issue, and about 20 minutes of stumbling around later I rebuilt the skin cache and everything is now fine, nothing is wrong.

    I also set up a cron job to periodically (that is, every fucking minute) wipe out the error log because that shit grows up to 60 MB in the span of a few minutes. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

  2. Skype field in profiles fixed.

    09 January 2010 - 09:49 AM

    Good news, everyone! It's fixed! This means Tweaker no longer has to manually add them and you don't lose them if you click the edit profile button. eng101.png

    The dramatic story below.
    QUOTE
    NINEKO: SO HEY THE SKYPE FIELD IN PROFILES IS BROKE
    XKEEPER: I'LL FIX IT


    05:14'24" Xkeeper: yes
    05:16'18" Xkeeper: had to move because SURPRISE SURPRISE
    05:16'32" Xkeeper: the ACP requires javascript

    05:20'17" Xkeeper: busy punching the ACP

    05:23'02" Xkeeper: Seriously does that hack work for anybody?
    05:23'14" nineko84: What hack?
    05:23'17" Xkeeper: the skype one
    05:23'22" nineko84: I don't know
    05:23'37" nineko84: But some people have a skype name in their profile
    05:23'51" Xkeeper: I'm curious how.
    05:24'21" nineko84: I know Tweaker has been able to set them, when I complained to him that the field was missing from the user cp, instead of fixing it, he entered my skype name by his own

    05:26'55" Xkeeper: IPB is just being an ass in the pain as usual
    05:28'17" Xkeeper: Yay, time to play PHP Archolegy!
    05:28'27" Xkeeper: this'll be fun given that I lost the ability to spell words a few hours ago.

    05:37'14" Xkeeper: I want to punch IPB
    05:37'23" nineko84: I can guess why

    05:45'35" nineko84: Don't lose your mind over this
    05:45'47" Xkeeper: I just realized why my change wasn't showing up
    05:45'49" Xkeeper: wrong skin 8)
    05:50'35" Xkeeper: hey guess what !
    05:50'44" nineko84: You made it work?
    (it worked in the User CP, but not the profile page like the other quick-edits... let's fix that too)

    06:11'21" Xkeeper: oy.
    06:11'27" nineko84: Yes?
    06:11'36" Xkeeper: trying to RE the javascript
    06:11'51" Xkeeper: excepthtatit'salllikethisincondencedSHITCODEsoyoucantfuckingseeanythingevenifyoucouldfind

    06:12'18" Xkeeper: <<<<<<<{#{!!{%!IK%DS OhfVAR%!@%!@|%!@|%CHEESEBURGEHRER#%}@% !#^>#^^># >QWERTYUIOP javascript SUCKS
    06:12'26" nineko84: lol
    06:12'30" nineko84: irl
    (yes, it is that bad)

    06:21'01" Xkeeper: This is sad
    06:21'06" Xkeeper: I have to use a fucking packet sniffer to debug this JS

    06:33'41" nineko84: I'm really sorry to leave now that I asked you to help, but I really have to go D:
    06:33'48" Xkeeper: oh, well
    06:34'10" Xkeeper: yeah, I just need to update all the skins to fix some names
    06:34'12" Xkeeper: the code is fixed
    06:34'17" Xkeeper: took me an hour to find the fucking file, but I did it



    In other words, I have now made my bi-yearly fix to the Sonic Retro domain, thereby justifying my administrative privledges for another year or so colbert.png

    Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go put a gun in my mouth to bed HA HA NEVER MIND.

  3. You can use 12-hour format on the wiki now.

    03 March 2009 - 04:06 PM

    Special:Preferences, time and date.

    I just edited a line in the config for it. It's the bottom option.

    /**
 * This is the default English localisation file
 *
 * END USERS: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY!
 *
 * REPEAT!
 *
 * DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY!
 * NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU DO THAT!
 *
 * You can make your customizations on the wiki.
 * While logged in as a sysop user, go to [[Special:Allmessages]]
 * and edit the MediaWiki:* pages listed there.
 *
 * DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY OR YOU WILL JUST BE CONFUSED!
 */


    Yeah, whatever.

  4. New Wiki tag for user information: <forumuser>

    03 August 2008 - 04:11 AM

    Details of it can be read here: Xkeeper/forumuser

    This should replace the {{Userbob}} template, so if you happen to see a page using it, feel free to update it to use Forumuser. :)

    Much thanks to Tweaker on assistance with the way it should look.

  5. Wiki edits/forum posts now announced in IRC channel

    26 July 2008 - 02:56 PM
