Re: FluxBB Update to 1.5.12 status 40.75.112.55/forums/FluxBB/index.php

For NewMars members - report on significant progress with work yet to be done...

There is a moment in construction of a new telescope called "first light"

NewMars.com/forums achieved something like that last night, as kbd512 worked on finding the right configuration of software to enable our new FluxBB version (1.5.12) to run on the Mars Society servers.

Here is a text copy of what the screen looks like in this early stage:

There are several details that need to be corrected in coming days, but I am greatly encouraged by the initial performance of the system. The copied database appears to be intact and functional. The software appears to be working normally, to the extent we had time to test it.

I did visit from the link and you are correct most things seem there from a data base stand point.

For SpaceNut re #53

Thank you ** very ** much for trying the link I sent via email!

I would like to take this opportunity to again thank kbd512 for taking on the challenging responsibilities of Webmaster, and for taking the lead in the process we are following to install the new system.

For SpaceNut ... if you have time, please continue experimenting with functionality.  I have tried a number of user lookups, and every one I tested looked correct.

There's a ** lot ** more to test, even though we cannot log in at present.

Made use of edge debugger and here is the page information error:

login.php:7
       
        GET https://newmars.com/new/style/Fire.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)

It appears that the css files are not present but there is an issue in the login.

For SpaceNut re #55

Thanks for helping to show the missing (or inaccessible) Fire.css file!

You're right about the login not working, but I'm hoping that might be something that kbd512 can fix. 

If worst case happens, we might have to let everyone recreate their passwords.

However, since the passwords feature was successful in the Azure test environment, I am hoping it can be persuaded to work in the Mars Society context.
