This phpBB installation falls apart

Post by AmigoJack »

Neither is the QUOTE-BBCode parsed anymore (although the editor_s checkbox "Disable BBCode in this post" is not ticked), nor am I able to use apostrophs, as they_re not even escaped in the SQL INSERT literal anymore. Has the PHP version been changed, now introducing new deprecations?

And it doesn_t help that the post preview renders everything nicely.

Do these parse?
simple quotations
If you want to stick to 2.0 instead of upgrading to 3.x then http://www.phpbb2refugees.com/index.php might be interesting. I cannot recommend anything besides 3.0.x, which I consider rock solid. Anything newer is too complex in code to be ever trusted, and 2.0 just misses too much.

https://mybb.com/ might be a alternative if you want it lightweight, but I fear its community is much tinier than phpBB_s again.

I'm also unable to read new private messages: https://forums.textpad.com/privmsg.php? ... ead&p=4606 always redirects to https://forums.textpad.com/privmsg.php?folder=inbox (from which I came). Same goes for the "Savebox". But reading PMs that are in the "Sentbox" (i.e. https://forums.textpad.com/privmsg.php? ... ead&p=4605) is no problem. Why?

That redirects me to https://forums.textpad.com/index.php. The original link gives me the Inbox - that's not the problem. I can list PMs in any of the 4 boxes (in, out, sent, save). But from there clicking on each PM to read them only works from the Sentbox, not Inbox nor Savebox.

If you guys check your HTTP access.log you should see how I got HTTP status 302 again and again minutes ago.

The next oddity: if I want to display

Code: Select all

dbo\.account
I have to enter it with 2 backslashes so that 1 survives. If I keep doing that in a loop of previews my original input of \\. is reduced to \. and then . - everywhere, not only between CODE tags.

Whoever wants to show regexes with backslashes in them will find himself with a post that contains less than what was submitted, because backslashes are removed.
