Hi,
I cannot find "Site/Forum Feedback" thread so I will use this topic: there is an bug with "Load more topics". How to reproduce:
1. Go to the Workroom Common Area  subforum
2. Click at  "Load more topics"
 
Notice that "supposed new threads" are exactly the same from the first page.

Another bug/question: Does the Workroom Common Area  sub-forum is excluded from "View new content" I've missed whole "Hosting G3 Mods on GitHub" discussion...

This seems to be a problem with IPB and it's doubtful we can do anything about it. We may upgrade to IPB 4 in the future and the best we could hope is that they fixed that.

I updated a bunch of the user permissions and groups because they were getting to be a mess.  If you suddenly find yourself unable to access one of your old forums or with new access to something you don't think you're supposed to have, let me know.
 
If you're now in the Modder group and have access to the Workroom Common Area, that's intentional.

You didn't have access to this forum before and now you do.

Ups, too bad I didn't paste you a link explicitly — I guess you were still waiting for the fetcher fixes.

 

So good to know: that place is limited to people within the "Modders" group.

Yeah, the Workroom used to have very confusing privileges. We had all these customized privileges for specific people and the point of the Modder group wasn't really clear. Was it just for people who have stuff hosted at G3? That didn't make sense.

Now anyone who's sort of involved in modding gets to be a modder (even Jarno).

Aditional question (polls are limited to 3):

Yet another limitation to be removed

[Mike1072]

Thankfully, that can be changed. And it is done. Don't go making crazy long polls just because you can.

Hi! I'm not getting the acc validation e-mail for days. Pls halp!

[Mike1072]

Yeah, the forum email doesn't work sometimes. I try to manually validate any "awaiting authorization" members when I see one of their posts and confirm they're not a spambot.

http://camagna.net/ is often reported as Malnet. Could somebody move http://camagna.net/g3mirror/readme-cdtweaks.html to http://www.gibberlings3.net/readmes/readme-cdtweaks.html ?

[Mike1072]

We still lack access to the FTP, so no.  You can view the readme on GitHub, though.

After updating Mozilla Firefox to version 49 I'm experiencing issues with the colors of certain text elements of the forums, which is very distracting. I've noticed a bright blue colored text on the main page, the "New content" page, the profile pages of each member and several other text elements all over the forum pages.

Is there something you can fix?

[Mike1072]

I gave it a try, but it looks like it's no go.

The G3 skin has a weird colour specified in the CSS:
 

html, body {
  background: #ffffff !important;
  background-color: #ffffff !important;
  color: #03FF
}

The colour is ignored as invalid by Chrome and earlier Firefox versions but seems to be interpreted as a shade of blue with the latest Firefox.

I was able to remove the line from the skin, but recaching the CSS files failed, so the forums are still referencing the old version.
 
 
If you want to fix this on your end, you can use an addon like Stylish with this style:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document url-prefix("http://gibberlings3.net/forums/") {
  
  body {
    color: #5a5a5a;
  }

}
