The new back end.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wonder if things were coded assuming Count(0) =0?
DX, I think my explanation still applies. I think the code will always set the post_number one too high, but after this happens once then future posts will follow in correct sequence.
msbelle, the sign-in problem was fixed (assuming there was only one sign-in problem). Last night my internet access died, so I didn't do any fixing beyond that. So there are still some known issues for me to fix.
I don't know offhand if all possible functionality has been tested yet.
edit for spelling....

No one post in the test board, please. I'm changing code so....

OK, I fixed a bunch of stuff. I'm going to exercise for a bit.
Can somebody(s) go to BBaBB on the test system, see what I did, and remind me what else needs to be done?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'd like to help out, but I never got the confirmation email.

Daniel, I just sent it again, and activated the account. Let me know if you don't get it.

Maybe Daniel originally registered back when the confirmation email didn't have a "from" address? (which caused some spam filters to reject it)
Huh--I just noticed that nothing is in the user_timestamp field. Is this being used? Maybe the MySQL version this field defaults to Now()?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can check out the table structures using the MySQL command line utility, tommyrot -- there are definitely defaults and restrictions therein.

Yeah, but I'm being lazy....
OK, at some point I'll have to check all the MySQL tables for defaults, as I think I missed another default for the bookmarks table.

I fixed "e-mail Admins"
Now I'm confused as to how the original code works....
On the email form (php code), there is a line:
<input type="radio" name="replyto" value="<? echo "$_user->name <$_user->email>" ?>" checked>
edit: the value of the field becomes something like: user_name <user@usersisp.com>
If I change the value to just be the user's email (without the < and >) then it works. The way it was before, the code was seeing the value as just the user name, which it was rejecting as not being a valid email address.
