phpBB permissions are harder than long division

Post by Chewi » Mon Dec 07, 2015 8:55 pm

Took me almost ONE HOUR to figure out why guests couldn't see the forum. Jesus.

I thought I'd fixed that ages ago but turns out not.

By comparison, upgrading the board to 3.0.14 just now took less than 5 minutes.

I thought it was on purpose.

It always confuses me how with each iteration the process becomes more difficult and manages to lose features as well.

I feel like for the most part it's went backwards from 10 years ago, could be nostalgia kicking me in the dick though

3.1 was supposed to be this radical feature jump, I have it installed, I'm honestly not sure what changed.

Or maybe I'm confusing it with 3.2, I guess that will be out in 5 years or so, but then it seems to be a dying platform in general. I remember the days when I would browse around on about 10 or 11 forums (maybe actually post of one or two of them) but nowadays nobody seems that fussed in the longer form conversation #oldschool.

That said I've had some fun times on Facebook hidden groups but it's not the same.

Awww I tried to upgrade to PHP 7 today but not even 3.1 supports it, never mind 3.0. Will need to wait for 3.2. Luckily Gentoo supports older versions and even allows them side by side.

Nope. If I was to use something like that, it'd be Mumble. But I wouldn't use something like that.

Glad you like my fuckface.

Yeah, I'm on a discord chat for a Twitch stream of a friend of mine, it's a pretty cool setup.

I use Skype a lot for work.
