Forum URL: mho.freeforums.net/Hi there, since mid last week we have been having huge problems uploading pictures, or better said, not uploading. It isn't just one area, members from across the globe are experiencing this. We all get the same error message: back garden.PNG - Server error (Internal server error) Is anyone else having or, had these problems and if yes, how did you fix it? Thanks up front for any help. Cheers, Paul B For clarity, are you referring to the imgbb plugin? If so, if I recall correctly that plugin was removed from the library due to issues; it's possible that the host has changed something about their API and thus has broken the plugin — which won't be fixed as the plugin was discontinued. If you are referring to something else, could you be a bit more specific? |

Hi. Can you please restore my forum account? Just in case you're referring to restoring a whole forum, PB admins would need the URL to the forum in question to say if it can be restored or not. If you're referring to an individual account on a specific forum, I'm afraid accounts cannot be restored once deleted. You will have to re-register at that forum with a new account. |

Can you provide a link to your forum? Make sure this theme is default so guests can see it.

I'm definitely not in your target audience, so I will refrain from giving feedback on the content itself. However I hope my feedback on some more aesthetic / structural / organisation things might be useful. - the background image is really small, especially since it's set not to repeat. I'm sure it fills the background from your perspective, but the background's size is actually relative to the size of the viewer's monitor. for me, it's just a teal background with a lot of empty space all around it (I can't actually see what the image is since it's centred behind the boards and doesn't cover the size of my browser window). you may want to add in some css to make sure the image always fills the user's screen (if you don't know how to do that, someone on the support board on this forum will be able to assist). - this is totally subjective, but i would expect some general conduct guidelines posted somewhere (maybe i missed them?), especially considering how passionate sports fans can be -- i am not a football person, but i do love baseball and i've had many a... shall we say 'passionate discussion' both online and off. a posted set of guidelines could go a long way in ensuring that folks can easily be redirected to reviewing the guidelines should passions run high. - buy/sell stuff i would be careful for; you'd need a disclaimer posted somewhere on your forum to state that none of the profits from sales are affiliated with PB + for your own safety i'd recommend having a disclaimer stating that purchases and sales are at-your-own-risk so you're not liable in the event someone gets scammed. to answer your question about image hosts: google photos and one drive are NOT image hosts, just for clarity. they're document/file storage services. if you want an image host, presuming this is just for in-post images, imgur and imgbb are good, free options. however if you want to host theme images, avatars, smileys, etc, i would recommend using the image upload option in the pb theme builder instead. hope that helps! let me know if you have any questions  Thanks for the critique. When I view my site the background seems to fill the screen vertically. Horizontally, I designed it to not fill the sides and wanted the black background to stick out. Not sure it it doesnt look right both vertically and horizontally from your end or other? I have 2 laptops here and i view it both in chrome and MS Edge and seems good but I will tinker with it a bit to see if i can adjust things. I will also add those disclaimers as well. Since the site wasnt officially active yet I didnt post those yet and Im still deciding on just selling my sports cards on facebook. Otherwise I very much appreciate you taking a few minutes to give me some feedback. Thank You. Yeah, like I said, the background "filling" the screen depends on the size of your monitor. Images, generally, are a static size — in other words, if you have a 100 x 100 pixel image, that image will be 100 x 100 pixels no matter what. But how much space 100 x 100 pixel fills up is relative. If your monitor is 100 x 100 pixels for whatever reason, then an image that is 100 x 100 pixels will appear to fill the entire space. But if your monitor is 1,000 x 1,000 pixels, it will only appear to fill 10% of your space. This is why when it comes to background images that are a fixed size / not set up to repeat seamlessly, you should be mindful of relative perspective. What looks good to you on your screen will only be applicable to the users who share the same or very similar monitor resolution as you. Everyone else will have a different (sometimes drastically) experience. When I get on my desktop, I'll reply with what I see |

My understanding is that the question is regarding whether or not PB's copyright clauses in the PB TOS permits or prohibits allowing genAI content to be posted on a PB forum as a whole and many content sharing platforms are straight up disallowing any and all genAI works to be posted. PB's TOS was written prior to the wide spread use of genAI and has no direct reference to permissions regarding its use. Michael can correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like the more direct answer based on his response is: there's nothing inherently wrong with posting genAI works on a PB forum (provided that the media itself doesn't violate any content restrictions in the TOS), just understand that you may be asked to remove that content later should any issues with copyright come up on the part of the genAI platform, either by PB or by the genAI platform itself. If this interpretation is correct, I would then also add that if the entire purpose of your forum is to share genAI work, you're running a huge risk. If the genAI you use run into any copyright issues naming them as violating copyright, then your forum's entire purpose would go against the PB TOS. EDIT: Suno.ai has been named in a copyright lawsuit and has admitted their AI is trained on ANY song available on the internet, which does in fact include copyrighted works. I would err on the side of caution and avoid posting anything from this model, at least until a ruling has been made on the case. www.riaa.com/record-companies-bring-landmark-cases-for-responsible-ai-againstsuno-and-udio-in-boston-and-new-york-federal-courts-respectively/music.mxdwn.com/2024/08/01/news/ai-songwriting-platform-suno-admits-training-models-from-open-internet-data-featuring-copyrighted-material/ |

In the Edit / Profile setting... how can you add another website where FB, Twitter , and YouTube is located on your personal settings? Is there a way to add another line of websites inside the "edit/profile setting"? I just want to add Instagram there... if that is even possible?? I know you can link it directly on you signature and mini profile. I think it would be cool to add an addiction to the other websites that has already be added. View AttachmentTechnically, no. Those are formatted specifically by PB software and it's a little outdated as far as social media connections. But you can create custom profile fields (admin > members > custom profile fields) to add whatever social media you'd like for people to add their usernames to. No plugin needed. |

Not sure if this is the right place to ask... I've got 23 mht files that I'd like to somehow display in my forum. How would I go about doing that and is it even possible? I know I can covert them to pdf's and then just let people download those, but the conversion actually loses some info. IOW, it's not a perfect conversion. I tried two online converters to png, but neither worked. Do I have any options? You cannot; that is not an accepted file display format online within a post / your forum. You could upload the MHT files as attachments if you have them enabled on your forum and that would allow people to download them — however they would need to then open them up in Chrome or Edge (Firefox does not support opening them). This is also not a graphic design request (you are not requesting graphics for your forum to be created) so I am moving this to the appropriate board. |

I am just wondering is there a way to create a custom page that is viewable to guests even if the forum as a whole is set to guests must login?
Thank you! A work around, potentially: If you take off "Guests Must Log In" and then set all categories & boards to only be viewable by Members & Staff, then set the custom page as your "Home" page (perhaps with a customised Guests Must Log In Notice directing them to the login button in the menu), that could achieve basically the same effect. |

Hello Kami , I see the blue you are referring to.. I have to agree... It is much better with a darker blue, thanks for that tip! Of course! Glad it was useful. but I thought it made my forum too " long and crashy" if that even makes sense? I understand where you're coming from, but for what it's worth, this shouldn't be a concern for you anymore. A "long" website is no longer synonymous with being "crashy" — provided that you take care to make sure to have quality content on your site. I see you broke things down and grouped boards together, I think this looks much easier to navigate and will allow members and guests to quickly find their areas of interests. PS. the background is fixed not scroll... thats strange that my background on your end is not fixed and scrolling??? weird. This was my bad — I initially looked at the forum on my phone through desktop mode, but looks like that makes the forum background look like it's scrolling when it isn't. It doesn't scroll at all on desktop proper. Sorry about that! :) |

Eagles FanzoneThis is an old board from the early 2000's and I am trying to resurrect it. Brand new design, name change and direction. While it is a site for fans of football the main purpose of the board is for memorabilia collectors to buy/sell and/or share their collections and rare finds. That said I still want to appeal to those just interested in the team in general. I am also looking for ideas to add a photo gallery and a buy/sell option. Also, does anyone have options for image hosting? I tried linking some photos from google photos and one drive but it doesnt work. Otherwise any input and ideas are welcomed. Thanks. ~Eaglegene I'm definitely not in your target audience, so I will refrain from giving feedback on the content itself.

Hi thereeee, me again :D It's been a year since my last review and it looks like the theme's been updated, so just wanted to revisit. First impressions: Cute banner as usual! But -- and maybe this is a problem on my end, not sure? -- I don't seem to see the forum name or anything informative on the banner. If this is an intentional change, please disregard, but I think it takes away from the memorability of the forum. If I saw this and wanted to look at it at a later date and forgot to bookmark it, there's nothing for me to recall what it might be for a google search. The rest of it: Honestly not a lot has changed since my last review, so I presume that those suggestions weren't aligned with the forum's needs (which is totally fine). There are a couple of new call-outs, but I'll leave anything old in the past: - There is a -1/-1 on the private board for guests; this is an error in the structure of the theme template you're using. If you don't have contact with the theme-maker, I believe this has been asked and answered before on the support board proper.
- There's a bit of a stylistic snafu on the container that lists out the sub-board names vs the container that displays the board title; when the list of subboards exceeds a certain width, it pushes the board title into a second line and overtakes a majority of the board list. From my perspective, the User Experience on this is sub optimal -- for a while I couldn't tell which subboards belonged to which boards.
- I find the font used on the category titles a little difficult to read with my dyslexia, but that's a subjective thing (even within a group of people with dyslexia, folks may differ). I'd personally err on the side of making sure everyone can read stuff, but if the category names / risk aren't a high priority in the overall picture, then no worries.
Hope that helps? It's nice to see another forum that keeps on sticking with it. |
