Hello teebling ,
I found a major bug, it is impossible to use your forum now... :(
So the notification sign doesn't disappear in case of reports, you can't press it. So I now have a permanent 1.
Greetings,
Aeh
aeh can you please tell me what browser and OS you are using as per the format at the beginning of the thread
Ubuntu 18.04 - Firefox Quantum 67.0.4 (64-bit)
Also tested on
macOS newest Opera, newest Version
Only the first mention of a link shortens to the name of the spell/item. Mouseover still works on subsequent wowhead links but they will stay a link.
example:
https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=16857/faerie-fire-feral
https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=16857/faerie-fire-feral
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=8190/hanzo-sword
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=8190/hanzo-sword
If this isn't a bug then how do I keep the subsequent links from becoming full urls?

I wasn't aware of this and haven't seen it in the wild or reproduced like this either. Not sure what is going on to be honest but will investigate for patch 1.10 bug fixing.
Thing is that the whole javascript/CSS is not my own and it's not even hosted on my server - it's all on wowhead, so this is most likely a bug on their side which I'll have to tell them about once I've had a good look at my own implementation.
If you encase them in URL tags they seem to work independently:Hanzo Sword
Looks like their icons aren't working at the moment either. This is usually a short term thing from what I've noticed though.
Could just be a temporary thing as well.
Right now any time I try to access the home page on my phone I'm getting an error message. I can still access any other part of the forum. It says:
General Error
SQL ERROR [mysqli]
Connection refused [2002]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator of this problem persists.
Help?

Refresh your browser cache, should do the trick.
That did work thank you!
I'm unable to follow a user, or I've found it very hard to learn how to do it. Usually I just visit a profile page and there'd be a button or something.
How do I follow my barrens chat forum buddies and get updates when they make comments / posts? Why was it disabled /removed?

p.s. - i see in the left sidebar, I can "message" but nothing else. i'm quite certain the phpBB forum software allows for this. is follow forum member disabled?
Hey teebling not really a "bug", but do you have any plans for the recent massive spambots that are advertising to phishing links?
I can see on the account registration page that you have an anti-spambot question like:
Confirmation of registration
This is a site about World of Warcraft...:
Which I believe is static (so the answer is always the same?), so it's very easy once the bots figure out the answer.
I don't have much experience with phpBB, but according to their forum post here: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2419551
the built in Q&A should be blocking the bots effectively.
Gallow and Flerex please see my explanation here. Neither are a perfect solution but Q+A is much more solid until the answer is found, at which point it needs to be changed. The problem is I don't know when they have the answer, because now the bots lie dormant for a few days before posting, so I don't know how many spam bots have registered in the period since the answer was broken.
If those alternatives are not good for you you can do what I do in my blog. As bots usually do not support JavaScript, create a hidden field that has an empty value and a name of a common field (age, for example).<input type="hidden" name="age" value="">
Then, with JavaScript, modify the value of this field to an arbitrary one via an event listener.document.querySelector('button[type="submit"]').addEventListener('click', _ => {
document.querySelector('input[type="hidden"][name="age"]').value = 5063;
});
Then in your backend you just have to check that that value is what you expected. If it is not, just return a blank page so that bots can't go back and try to fix the form.if(!isset($_POST['age']) || intval($_POST['age')] !== 5063) { // Or equivalent method in your platform / framework
die();
}
The only problems with this method are:
Thanks Flerex will implement this extra barrier in 1.10
when posting as a guest, i found the spam questino to be fuckin' insane dude.
the answer is vanilla but the questino itself is retarded. it's worded as though you speak ebonics or your native language is not English.
+1 vote for new question
"Which expansion is this website about?"
"What expansion is barrens.chat website about?"
"What patch is 1.12.1 usually referred to?"
Hey, i can confirm what "Guest" said. I wanted to register and got stuck at "Complete this sentence: World of Wacraft ' '". How would I know that I have to fill in "vanilla" here?
It would be great if there's a hint or something in it.
I bet a few users already failed to register because of that ;)

Classic, Vanilla, 1.13 are all possible and reasonable answers at this time. The question will be restructured and re-presented in upcoming patch 1.10 however.
it doesn't work for me to change profile banner. Every time I select a new image and press submit, my old banner (which I have selected to be deleted previously) is there instead. I've tried several times but it doesn't seem to work.

I sent a message to someone recruiting for their guild and it never moved from outbox to sent. So is it sent? What's the difference between outbox and sent?
