I understand where the mods are coming from here. It would be a tedious undertaking not just now but perpetually so as Omaha continues to grow west. I do, however like Brad's distinction of East or West of 72nd St. Rather than change the names how about including in parentheses those fixed geographical divides?
E.g. Urban Omaha Development (East of 72nd St) and Suburban Omaha Development (West of 72nd St). I have to admit after some forum time absence it was hard to find a few projects because they weren't in the forum I expected. It must be similarly difficult for new members and infrequent visitors. I ended up using the search to find some projects. Finally, such an inclusion may also put to bed this periodic proposal from ever coming up again.

I haven’t used an avatar in awhile. When I logged in today, I magically now have an avatar of the old Iowa State logo? I did not set this. What happened?

Is everything mildly glitched out on mobile for anyone else? A lot of the buttons are missing or in different places

Desktop is having issues too. I sent an email to HR Paperstacks to see if he can figure it out.

Things are starting to appear fine now. It may have been due to the host upgrading PHP. They were supposed to do that between the 2nd and 4th.
I tried upgrading the board from 3.2.2 to 3.2.11 when the issue was still happening, but it doesn't support the PHP version we are running, so I'll have to jump up to 3.5. I may look into that tonight.

Getting a database error this morning. I see "Bing [Bot]" is currently visiting the site. Perhaps search engine bots crawling the site slam the database?

Last time we had that happen it was essentially DDoS attacks. I'm not seeing any issues now but if it starts happening again I'll have to look into blocking more huge ranges of foreign IPs at the host level.

We are currently running an older version of phpBB and I'm looking into upgrading to the latest.
Some extensions we are using are not compatible with the new version and will have to be removed. They are:
The theme allows for a few different colors as well that users can choose, but I'm thinking about using red as the default. You can also switch back to the traditional "prosilver" theme if you would prefer to stick with it.
Let me know your thoughts!
This topic will be global for a week and then I'll merge it into the Modifications to eOmahaForums topic under General Discussion.

- Fade Header - I can modify the CSS to display an image in the header, but it's only static
- Profile side switcher - the profile for posts is normally on the right side but this allowed it to be switched to the left like previous versions
- Last post avatar - the last post column will no longer display users' avatars.

Magenta Comic Sans should be the default font for the site. I'd also like a page hit counter at the bottom that looks like an old car odometer. Let's get Web 1.0 around here! Can we join a few Web Rings and put their HTML snippet at the bottom? Oh my gosh, I almost forget, we'll also need a guestbook!

We are live on phpBB 3.3!
With this upgrade, I have looked into other available styles and selected one called Flat Style, but I have customized it a bit for our forum.
This style has multiple color options. I have made the red version the default, but you can select a different color or even go back to the old "prosilver" style by going to Board Preferences under the User Control Panel and changing "My board style". There is even a dark version of prosilver if you are into that.

I have noticed the "[youtube]" tag was only leaving links now, but I have installed an extension so you can use "[media]" instead to embed videos. You can also just paste the link.

Wow! The new look. First impression is very good. I didn’t think the old look was tired until I saw how fresh and clean this new look is.
My old signature got too old. So old it was getting almost as old me as me. Yeah, it was up there in years.

If you click on the BOARD INDEX the Mark all forms read is on the top right above the list of forms when I just checked it now. This is how I used it in the past.

The new flat style doesn't have that.ChadJK - as mentioned, it is under Quick links. If it's something you'd like to see outside that menu, it can be done, but I'd have to figure out where to edit the templates. I'm trying to not customize it too much because next upgrade I'll have to redo all these customizations (and will likely have forgot what I did last time). But if there's enough demand, I'm willing to dive in there.

Is there an option to 'mark all forums read' on the landing page? I'm missing it if there is.
