[Extension Support] Ideas, as used here

I have a couple suggestions, which you may have already tried but here goes.

I've run into similar problems. When clearing the cache through the ACP doesn't work I've had success with either deleting the production folder from forums/cache, and by deleting the browser cookies. Sometimes to test I ...

[Extension Support] Ideas, as used here


@flumsi english please ;)


I didn't say it! LOL, dumb American here but I'm very respectful of people who can master two languages. I've been working on Spanish forever but without real people to speak to it's a longer process. Why do you insist on English here? You are in Denmark, right? Is it ...

[phpBB Support] [phpBB-Unterstützung] Date of birth profilefield

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Not that it's any of my business but why doesn't your phpbb have the birthday functionality? Is it your particular theme or the speaking language? Just curious.

Agree with Steve about the custom profile fields. That would technically work but I see how that would ...

[phpBB Support] Mass-adding forums with SQL

.
Not a help request but a discussion.

Usually nobody recommends manually adjusting the database, and with good reason. Does that ever stop me? . 8-)

Here I am again with a need to mass-add forums. I want to add about 150 new forums to the site, basically a standard set of 5-6 subforums in ...

[phpBB Support] Komischer Effekt


Cache & ctrl+f5 are my best friends :lol:

Wow! I never knew about ctrl-f5! I googled it and wow. All this time I've been clearing the cache from the ACP. I guess we're even now for the "browser inspect" tip.
:D

Do you know more about the cache (or just that if it's not cleared your changes don ...

[phpBB Support] Komischer Effekt

.
I'm not seeing anything wrong, but it's hard to compare when the images can't be viewed side-by-side. Do you have access to both versions now or is one an older screenshot?

If you can load both pages separately try to line them up so you can switch back and forth in your browser. Your eye will ...

Bot Attack - IP Ban Thread

.
I might've mentioned this before. One of my sites had a problem with spam. I used the extension "stop forum spam" for a quick solution without delving into htaccess. It works pretty well. Eventually I'd like to implement something like your solution.

Do you have multiple domains running under ...

This is the mention ext: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/simple_mentions/
Also check out the web push: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/webpushnotifications/

I agree that the notification system in phpBB isnt visible enough.

Not to split hairs but a note appears in the list if I click on "notifications" but the bell doesn't turn red (indicating a new notification) for topic replies. I've only seen it happen for a DM ...
