We know that the post counts are silly.
If you find anything else that does not make sense put your questions in this thread. Please also read the help as well because that's what we'll be doing!
Just fixed permissions allowing members to post... I hope.
Don't think I can edit old posts anymore.

Noted. I'll sort that this evening. It'll be a system default that will need to be changed.
Will we get our private messages back?
Mmmh... Maybe-ish.
There is a problem with PMs, but I'm looking into sorting it. Do them posts first, then we'll has a look.

You should be able to see the Modify option now.

Hmmm I'll have to work on this. As Tank (admin) I can modify but as Tanksock (newbie) I can't..*scratches head*
Manage Permissions is your friend. There are checkboxes for all that :-)

I've been through all the permissions for the 4 user groups here, Guests, Regular Members, Global Moderators and Administrators. Each group should be able to do all that it used to. If you find something missing drop a note here.
Testing
EDIT: Now I can modify. Thanks! Looks like remove too, which was not there before
And? Well? Yes? :P
Edit test
Yay!!!!
I'd made the changes but not saved them.
This time I did!
Good job guys!!!

Question: how do I find the new member requests, or are there none yet?

I checked earlier, and right now it appears that new registrations are not allowed.
Asmo P disabled new members while he was working on the forum. Shall we open up again?

If the Gray One is finished working on it, I vote yes.
Hey!
I was going through my account settings and I noticed the following:
Language:English British
What's this nonsense?
English British?
Should be:
English 'Merican
There's a difference y'all.
For example, I'm not exactly sure what the phrase "cock-up" means in the thread title, but I'm certainly not going to google it.
New registrations can be re-enabled at will.
Also, I found more posts to port. It will not interfere with the new posts because they are older. Basically, from a year ago until the last few days before the collapse.
Bits and pieces and what have you...

That's bollocks!

Hang on a sec

That's bullshit!

Minor issue, but I can no longer see all of my posts under my profile, or anyone else's for that matter. Not sure if that's a setting or the new version of SMF.E
EDIT: Never mind, just was moved under the avatar
Is it OK to start new topics in the sections that are "empty" right now? I know that the content is not really gone, but will it cause problems when they're repopulated to create a thread in the "Life as an Atheist" section, for instance?
It doesn't matter. The boards (sections) are all finished aside from maybe minor tweaking. The rest... It's all down to numbers relating to other numbers, and I have that under control, sp tpoic away! 8)
I noticed in at least one thread (Reasons to be Grumpy) that the last post before today was December 31, 2014. Not sure if we're missing posts or the dates on posts are just off, as I'm not sure what was there before the crash
That is correct (missing posts), as there are about 92000 posts left to port :-)
For some reason I can visualize threads and replies in the moderator section, but can't reply to threads or start new threads. The rest of the forum is normal. I don't know if the other moderators are having this same problem or if it's just something on my end.

I just looked through the error logs for today, and don't see anything for you. I also checked your permissions, and it appears that there is nothing wrong. May not be on this end.

How odd. :(
LOL I can't even edit my own posts, the quote and modify buttons just aren't there. :o *speechless*
I asked BCE if she's having the same problem, I'll wait until she replies.
May be some membergroup nonsense going on. Will need looking into.
Universal mod user group is the one you need to look at.

As far as I can tell, they're the same. This version of the forum software just uses a different term, "global" where the previous version used "universal."

Ah, OK. Good. ;D
I prefer the term "global" over "universal" because the latter reminds me of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Church_of_the_Kingdom_of_God), which is on par with Scientology in my opinion. Just as immoral and crackpot crazy.

Cool. Some might see it as a demotion. (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi49.tinypic.com%2Fjj8e9t.gif&hash=ef120aed03b90d97d30405c941921e343542978f)

I can see why some would see it that way, but it could be a simple reminder to stay down to Earth. :P
Yes, well, as long as it's a BIG globe, I say.
In any case, we have three administrative ranks: Moderator, Global Moderator and Administrator. A Moderator moderates specific boards, a global mod moderates everything and admins do the more technical kind of stuff.
As far as I know, we have no regular moderators, nor do we really need any except maybe a mod dedicated to the general discussion area (Laid back lounge, introductions and the like) for fast troll-related response and removing unwanted links in posts. Still, we are reasonably well-staffed for a forum this size.
A big globe, yes. 8)
A bigger globe would have stronger gravity, which would make it easier to stay down to Earth. Ironically.
I need more coffee. ;D
