Hint: you can use Preview to see what it'll look like.

I'm finding all those usernames that are changed hilarious, by the way.

What is the wait time used before being to post twice?

[ratammer]

15 seconds.

[heuristically_alone]

I feel like sometimes I post again after 14 seconds.

There's a new location on the site now; it's a fishing simulator for Stardew Valley.

[Freddino18]

Is it ok if I have a slightly NSFW pfp? It's slightly NSFW text. Putting it spoilered below.

Little curious about the icons next to the topics, specifically the little flame outside the circle. I recall the flame inside it means a "hot topic" by whatever standards the forum has, but this other is new to me.

When you choose to create a thread - or even a post - there is an option to give it a post icon, above where you choose the subject. That's where that flame came from. I think it was an option on the old xkcd forum but I'm not certain.

So that was something Seven did when they put up the Sorcerer Mafia thread. Found it.

Just made a few posts, and got errors like this each time (but the posts seem to have gone through anyways, as far as I can tell).

Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Duplicate entry '53-14' for key 'PRIMARY' in /home/public/nxf/phpbb/db/driver/mysqli.php:193 Stack trace: #0 /home/public/nxf/phpbb/db/driver/mysqli.php(193): mysqli_query(Object(mysqli), 'INSERT INTO nxf...') #1 /home/public/nxf/phpbb/db/driver/factory.php(345): phpbb\db\driver\mysqli->sql_query('INSERT INTO nxf...', 0) #2 /home/public/nxf/includes/functions.php(890): phpbb\db\driver\factory->sql_query('INSERT INTO nxf...') #3 /home/public/nxf/includes/functions_posting.php(2319): markread('post', 9, 14) #4 /home/public/nxf/posting.php(1527): submit_post('reply', 'Re: Every hour,...', '', 0, Array, Array, true, true) #5 {main} thrown in /home/public/nxf/phpbb/db/driver/mysqli.php on line 193

[ratammer]

Yep, I'm getting the exact same thing every time I post, even though the post is successful.

[LingEarth]

Yeah, that's happening to me too.

[The Snide Sniper]

Googling the error, it sounds like NearlyFreeSpeech just updated to a new version of PHP and now I need to update the board to support it.

[The Snide Sniper]

Test test

[The Snide Sniper]

Seems to be fixed now.

Do be on the lookout for things that might have broke in the update.

[LingEarth]

Yay, it's working again! Thanks, Sniper.

[ratammer]

Thanks! Definitely working.

[somitomi]

I wanted to post an image, but it says "sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached". Do I have to cull old attachments if I want to upload new stuff?

[The Snide Sniper]

That means I have to raise the attachment quota. phpBB is really old so it defaults to 50 MB for the entire board.

[madge]

lol
