Re: Summer of 2011 z2 improvement thread
Here's a bunch of styles (though a lot of them aren't that good): http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/
prosilver seems more polished to me than subsilver2, but the prosilver color scheme looks slightly colder than what we had before.
Maybe it's a subconscious reaction to change? Disregarding styles, the phpBB interface itself was overhauled, and that alone is going to cause some something's-wrong-here feelings. If that's the case, the fora might look different in a week or two.
I'll add the favicon.

Looking at these randomly I quite like Milky Way. Artodia: Elegance is good too.

I like serenity cyan. artodia:elegance looks good but the text in the bars is hard to read.
and I like cooperative, but not the color.

Re: Summer of 2011 z2 improvement thread
I don't care too much about styles, but I'd really like the little icon thingy that indicates whether or not a post is new to be on the left-hand side of the post title (since English reads left-to-right, and also LAZY).
THAT IS ALL.

Re: Summer of 2011 z2 improvement thread
i know it's no longer summer (at least in the northern hemisphere), but i would like to bring attention to the influx of spambots and spambot edits on the wiki.

Thanks. I will attend to this issue soon!
It looks like MediaWiki 1.18 comes with a CAPTCHA plugin. I'll upgrade tonight if I have time.

Re: Summer of 2011 z2 improvement thread
Any chance of adding new word filters to change zzt.org and zzt.org to zzt.org? I ask mostly for the sake of automatically fixing broken links to other parts of the site. I don't know if it's possible to filter text in bbcode, but it might be worth it.

I've done it and now your post makes no sense!

DAMN! It doesn't fix bbcode. If only it were that easy!
Here is a random post I found that has links to the old belsambar.net (for testing purposes): viewtopic.php?p=62355#p62355

Hmm... you are right, it does fix URLs not within bbcode though:

Re: Summer of 2011 z2 improvement thread
I had an idea the other morning: I could write a script that would replace belsambar links in old posts. It would just be a matter of iterating through all posts in a given time range, doing a regex search-and-replace, and updating the database with the updated posts.
I wonder how many posts there are that contain broken links. If it's low, it might be possible to do a manual audit of them, to make sure that we aren't making any posts confusing.
What about leaving a note that a link has been modified? Part of this is me just being afraid of editing history, but I also don't want to trip up future historians. This may not be necessary in a lot of places.
What about stuff that doesn't exist on zzt.org? For example, Cookie Cutter Games used to be at: but it seems wrong to rewrite it to: because the web page no longer exists -- both links are incorrect.
If there's interest in this, I will take a stab at writing it.

DO IT, but make sure you don't forget the-underdogs.org!
Re: Summer of 2011 z2 improvement thread
If they're broken links to begin with, there's no real loss is there?
