Yes!
Styles incompatible, so trying to see if we (Thank you Garrett!!) can do anything to get the old look choices back.

But.. huge relief, yes, it's completely up to date and seems to be working. There were a few other extensions too that won't work anymore, but for the most part, the main site seems to be working well!

cheers,
Robert

Congratulations!

Thank you Garrett! A big hug and a kiss (I'm fully vaccinated).

Thank you too, Robert, for taking on the tedium. I'll try to make sure no updates are ever missed again.

Finally, thank you too, Huck, for finding HTTRACK to copy the site. I'm glad I did it, I have all that work from everybody since 2008.

We'll get it looking nicer soon. It's just thanks to Robert and Garrett that it has worked at all, and they are tired after a day at it.

But it has come through with everything important intact, that is really all that matters.

Looks good. Thank you.
Style variants would be good. The phpBB in the title bar should be replaced with something.

Unfortunately the styles don't always work when upgrading. Robert's old custom style didn't want to come with the 3.3.4 upgrade. But we'll work with what we have for the time being.

Huck, have you found a way to "search" in the HTTRACK saved website? The search function doesn't come with the saved files.

You can use your computer search engine for the folder, where you installed the forum. I created a folder /0-forum.tarothistory.com. When I go inside this folder with "windows-explorer" and type "rheinfelden" in the search engine field for instance, then I get all files with "rheinfelden" words, which have been downloaded.

The downloading program couldn't use the search engine, cause it couldn't type question words. So it didn't get any idea about the existence of such sort of content. And so it's natural that the search engine wasn't downloaded.

This fits us:

I tried to snip, save and attach just the horizontal top 4th of the card as it might appear in the board's header, but got this message when trying to add the attachment (vs. web link):
"ERROR
Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." [<- might be the upload of content from the old board]
