Okay, problem.

I have two tabs up

http://sw-fans.net/forum/

and

http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/

when I go to click on the Online Users box at

http://sw-fans.net/forum/

it takes me to

http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/online.php?

instead of

http://sw-fans.net/forum/online.php

like it's suppose to.

Please fix :cat

That all made sense I hope.

And now the pop-up windows for pms appear to be screwed up. You click on them and they tell you you aren't logged in when you are. So inorder to get them you have to either log in again from the pop-up window to read it or go directly to your pm box.

Not really a bug. Its a software limitation.

Which, is a URL issue. vB3 is not quite as compatible with multiple URLs. PM popups will open at the URL www.sw-fans.net (http://www.sw-fans.net), no matter which URL you are logged into. It is going to take me some time to see if I can find workarounds.

yes, I just figured that out and was about to add that.

I added the URL to the board software so that new registrants would actually get working links. As will people who get subscription emails. And probably a few other things I can't think of right off the top of my head. I will work on it in the future, but won't have a lot of time to do so for a week or two.

I'll probably create a new global variable and set it to be www.sw-fans.net (http://www.sw-fans.net) and then change all the places that require a hardcoded URL to use that variable. Its all a matter of figuring out where I need to replace and where I shouldn't.

My plans got changed so I actually do have some time to work on this now.

Edit: I figured out a fairly easy way to fix the issues but it'll take some time for me to edit the 75 to 100 vB 'phrases' that should fix links in all emails.

Okay, I tested activations and it looks to be okay now. Activation URLs and all other email included URLs should be hardcoded to direct you to www.sw-fans.net/forum no matter which URL you register from or are logged into. Subscriptions, PM emails and the like should all include that URL now, while PM popup windows should just use whatever URL you are currently on, helping the compatibility with multi-URL users.

Seemed like a good place to post this.. just looked at my PM's and while the headers are there, there is nothing in the PMs. The content is gone. Do I just delete everything as it's too late to get em back or what?

Unfortunately, I don't think there was a fix for this. I'll let one of the admins confirm that tho.

No, sadly any PMs received before the move from vb2 to vb3 were lost. Just delete any that are from before that time.

Too bad, that includes all the planning from Marcus' trip and more. :(
