This is absolutely vital. In 2025 that navigation bar is simply confusing users. The new "What's New" area is pretty awful. I've removed it and stripped back as much as possible.

I see why people couldn't leave groups they'd already joined. It seems this addon adds a new column to the database for ozzymodz groups they've joined separate to other group membership tables?

Ah I should have noticed that line.

Interesting. Not in my alert preferences on my site. I'll have a look and work out why

Thank you. Specifically for the award of badges from this addon. I can't see one after install on my site. I'll double check options.

Is there a way to allow users to individually disable notifications?

This is great news. Froala is knackered. For a thicky like me, would the extensions allow us to choose a markup input regex that inserted coloured font, just as you would font for italics?

I've just found it used less and less over time. Back in 2015 there would be hundreds of messages per day. These days I have an associated discord and the DM system is dead. I was genuinely curious as to how many sites have a DM system so active it needs a labelling feature. Certainly I...

This is why the only administrative tool for a site I run is SSH with keys...

So: Put site into maintenance mode Backup flat files and sql Copy object storage to a new space or different folders Restore to test instance Change config php to point at restored object storage Take test site out of maintenance mode and do test work (e.g. Major upgrades)

Out of interest, if I ping up a test instance of my live build (from backups) and it was connected to the space object storage (as it would be on restoration) what would happen? Let's say I uploaded a new avatar on test host whilst the real host was live?

Hmm was fine on 2.2 but now getting a lot of open_basedir problems because its trying to traverse outside of restrictions: ErrorException: Template error: [E_WARNING] is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/nonexistent/.aws/config) is not within the allowed path(s)...
