Found a spell-check option in Firefox and turned it off, and now I don't see one on either. No further issue.

The search function includes URLs hidden by BBCode in its results.

For example, a search for 'media' that scans the message text returns every post where someone's image or video URL uncludes the word 'media'.

I still haven't figured out the search feature. Tried it 3 times, only found what I was looking for once.

If you're looking for words, you type them into the box and hit enter. Seems better than the last one. The only annoyance is the 4 character minimum search length.

I actually took the time to look at what BB code was allowed, and strike wasn't there, so I just put what I put, figuring peeps would get my point.

I appreciate that you want peeps to use the BB code for linking stuff....

But it is literally 2 extra clicks.

Instead of just copy/pasting in line, I have to

- Hit the full editor button
- put the cursor down where i want the url

It is exhausting.

Upgraded phpBB.

So the left-side profile extension broke. So... profiles are on the right now.

QuickReply enhancement also broke. Will see if I can fix it.

I've changed the configuration to force HTTPS, so everyone should be on it.

Lol. My fault. I added HTTPS/SSL, but the board wasn't forcing people to it, so it was causing login problems if you were still using HTTP urls.
