For great justice. Let's review.

Changed Server Default Language from English UTF-8 to English. This makes things that didnt work magically work, and things that did work now work better.

Installed the Custom Profile Options mod. This allows me to make any amount of custom profile options that you can fill out. Some of them appear in your posts.

Just a note: Wii codes are too long to fit in the specified table width with posts. Don't include hyphens or spaces and they'll fit. BBC code does work in them... but I don't know how that would turn out.

Also... Spoiler tags should work now.

Let's try it.
L dies.

If it works, reply. Good day.

It doesn't work. I get an error whenever I try it.

[Forte]

It works for me.

[Sepuku.exe]

spoiler tag something then

[Forte]

I did in the first post.

[Death Dark]

Doesn't look special.

There's no shoutbox right now, and I'm not sure if you'll see this, but that's a bad place to be trying to put the shoutbox.

It should go a little lower, somewhere under the header of the page, so that it's not so secluded.

[Forte]

I'm working on it.

Also, it seems that there's a problem with the "Stars" for membergroups.

[Forte]

I know this.

[Death Dark]

What's this "Double Post" option all about?

[Forte]

It currently doesn't exist. Give me time and I'll fix up everything. I'm trying to take care of the shoutbox problem and set the database to default.

You see, yesterday for about 3 hours, I played around with the database, learning what it was capable of, which to my pleasure, was everything. After giving up on it, I didn't stop thinking about one thing though, is there a faster way of transferring all of this data to another database? Turns out, there is. Much faster. You see, since the database doesn't control the files themselves, only the PHP information they store in the server, Then it would be possible to take everything from the SMF-1 database and switch it to another, thereby keeping all the posts, topics, users, passwords, private messages, and everything else from one installment and switching them to another. You're currently on a brand new forum. You have the same amount of posts, your username and password never changed, and all the topics that were once here still are. The only difference is that I haven't screwed up anything yet, and of course, it will remain that way.

I have the images folder downloaded to my desktop, I'll be replacing the usergroup stars again in a while. I also will start up the badges system soon, just as soon as I get everything else working as best I can. SMF 1.1.5 won't identify some of the mods, so I hope no one misses the Users Online Today mod. Also, obviously, the spoiler tag no longer works. Hope everyone knows that L dies and Itachi dies and that Soylent Green is people.

So far so good. Enjoy the old shoutbox. It's here to stay. Ignore the duplicate at the bottom... it's not hurting anything but I dunno how to get rid of it.

Don't try to post and shout.  If you try to sent a shout when on the Posting screen, the command to send the Shout will be applied to the post instead.
