Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was getting that error ON V2.3.5, so I reverted back to V2.3.4 and all is well for the time being. Normally I don't deploy new code on Fridays but I got the email and went for it.. ;) I've got to update my dev environment to 1.2 and get some fresh data on there so I can...

I had to revert back to 2.3.4 even with the empty class "fix", we were seeing tons of errors related to TaigaChat that broke our XenPorta front page like: "PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'PARAM_POSITION_CODE' in /blah/htdocs/library/WidgetFramework/Listener.php on line 54"

I just ran into this as well on XF 1.1.5, with the correct permissions, etc. In our case, it will try to rename the tmp file (in /tmp), to the data directory which resides on an NFS share. I am not sure if it is a cross filesystems issue or what, but suppressing the error as suggested does...

Mike, I'm not a XenForo customer (yet), but I would like to mention that I find it irritating that I don't have permissions to view image file attachments (such as previews of themes) because I am not a customer. I can understand not being able to download file attachments (zip and what not)...

I'm well aware of the difference between the two, but my point is, using gzip compression still means faster page loads, especially for people who might be on mobile devices (even when using a mobile skin). If you've got big pipes and want to use them, surely you have decent enough servers to...

You realize using gzip compression on your webserver imparts a negligible amount of load and actually speeds up page loads for users, right? It's not really about saving bandwidth anymore.

That would make a lot of sense, I'd love to see an implementation of that idea that used memcache with expiring keys (which could alleviate the need for a "postcache" ala vB), where keys are invalidated when a thread is updated. The whole MERGE table thing is a hassle to maintain, but on an...

I can think of at least one case off the top of my head. My site has 65,000,000 posts. While SELECT queries against it (LIMIT or otherwise) are still reasonably fast, operations against that table such as changing table schema (or adding an index) are not. MySQL essentially copies the table...

Personally, I don't have a big problem with sigs, as long as they don't contain images. On my site, we run strict signature limits restricting the # of lines, # of characters, and font sizes. A lot of forums I frequent don't police sigs and I find it very distracting with all of this junk...

I'm not sure it's vital, but I think that having a media tag that you can paste any url into either by manually typing it, or using a button is more straight forward than a bbcode that requires you parse bits out of a url when it's all going to end up having to be parsed server side anyway.

Well, before a post is inserted into the database, it's going to be sanitized/parsed/whatever on the server side, so there's plenty of time to parse the bbcode into what it needs to be prior to insertion into the database.

Well, at the very least the Help -> BB Codes page should have some wording to tell a user that it's easier to just use the media button in the WYSIWYG editor. Having someone stumble into a help page only to leave even more confused is a bad thing. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that...

Ceri May, you don't see a difference because you have a grasp on the concept of how parameterized urls work. A lot of the people don't.

Well, I also speak as someone who has run a forum for 10 years, and I *know* that there will be users that click Help -> BB Codes at the top of the page, scroll down to the media tag and get totally and utterly lost. That media tag stands out as it's totally different than traditional BB Codes...

IF you're a clicker it's a lot easier than if you're a typer. Our implementation (and others I have seen) are typically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmRTGRbrATs You can't just quickly peck out some bbcode have it work on xf. You're basically forced into using the button if you don't want to...
