Problem was that different quotation marks were being used inconsistently, right? skrolikowski on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-7728 Tue, 29 May 2007 23:04:35 +0000 skrolikowski 7728@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Now I look like a fool :( skrolikowski on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-7727 Tue, 29 May 2007 23:03:56 +0000 skrolikowski 7727@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Ignore skrolikowski on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-7726 Tue, 29 May 2007 23:01:56 +0000 skrolikowski 7726@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I don't know if people are still having this problem, but the same thing happened to me and I used a simple hack to fix it. So for anyone who wants a solution, here goes: Open the 'bb-includes/template-functions.php' file Go to line 1228 where it reads: <code>echo attribute_escape( $label[2] );</code> Replace it with: <code>echo str_replace('&quot;','"',attribute_escape( $label[2] ));</code> The problem I found was that it was using "'s instead of "'s for some unexplainable reason, so I just used a simple str_replace() function to solve the problem. I hope this helps some people, I know the last post was 3 months ago. tgpuckett on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-6024 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 03:42:09 +0000 tgpuckett 6024@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If you're a bozo, when you post nobody else can see your posts. If everyone can see your posts, then you're not a bozo. boomanfloral on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-6023 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 03:41:01 +0000 boomanfloral 6023@http://bbpress.org/forums/ OK. I read ALL these posts. I have the same problem, I am marked as a bozo and also all my members, but I don't really know why is all that bad to be marked as a bozo. My forum works fine. I can post, my members can post. What are the disadvantages to be marked as a bozo? tgpuckett on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5995 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 02:28:21 +0000 tgpuckett 5995@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I have this problem as well. I am a bozo (the admin of the forum) I don't have anything in my Akismet field in my config.php. Why is this happening and what can I do until the next release? Trent on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5864 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 01:11:21 +0000 Trent 5864@http://bbpress.org/forums/ It was scheduled to be out pretty soon here, but the number of tickets keeps increasing. Usually, at some point, mdawaffe just cuts the tickets to the next version and has a release. It will be soon I would imagine.....maybe within 30 days, but don't quote me on that......;) Trent Arlo on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5862 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 01:08:50 +0000 Arlo 5862@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Akisemet was already false, and it still happened. Anyway, I've commented out the entire bozo function in the core for now. I look forward to mdawaffe's fix, thanks. When is 1.0 due, anyway? Trent on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5859 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 01:02:10 +0000 Trent 5859@http://bbpress.org/forums/ mdawaffe is working on a permanant fix for this problem for a quick release before 1.0 comes out. He is aware that some people are having problems because Akismet is not 'whitelisting' the trusted users right now and the next release will have this happen. I would turn Akismet to false in your config and see if that at least works for you right now. Trent Arlo on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5797 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 22:13:54 +0000 Arlo 5797@http://bbpress.org/forums/ None of these tricks work for me. I'm using latest bbPress and fix plugin. Even with a clean install, my keymaster user will randomly become a bozo. I have a either a "1" or ny login name in the profiles bozo field (yes, it's a field, not a checkbox). Akismet is not enabled. Also, there is no "is_bozo" in my usemeta table at all, and sure enough it's not listed in the admin bozo section. Is there a fix for this? It's a big mess. mdawaffe on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5047 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 19:34:39 +0000 mdawaffe 5047@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Please try this plugin: <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/37" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/37</a> And let us know if that resolves the "1" strangeness on the profile edit page. ipears on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5034 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:32:35 +0000 ipears 5034@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Can we make this topic sticky till resolved please? 8-BitBrother on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5019 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 04:17:05 +0000 8-BitBrother 5019@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thank you Trent, I'm having this issue as well : / Trent on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5014 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:21:25 +0000 Trent 5014@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I have alerted mdawaffe of this issue and hopefully he can come up with a better explanation how to handle this.

It seems to be only affecting myself and my mod/admins. I can't unbozo us in the database anymore so we all just unspam our posts as we go for now. fel64 on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-5009 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:00:57 +0000 fel64 5009@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Interestingly, my bozo problem seems to have matured/reached Phase II, during which all posts I (and perhaps some, though not all, others) make are marked as spam. qzplx on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-4992 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:38:55 +0000 qzplx 4992@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi Trent, After i modified the: /bb-includes/akismet.php /bb-includes/functions.php There is nothing happening ? i dunno what happen, my post is still marked as spam. and is bozo value for all user is "1" I dunno what the meaning of this, appreciate for the advise huntherx17 on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem/page/2#post-4988 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 03:05:51 +0000 huntherx17 4988@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I've been trying to trace which code assigns the post status to "2" for every post but I cant seem to find it since it marks every post a spam, bozo or not bozo.

The ticket is <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/599#comment:1">here</a>. If you don't feel comfortable upgrading at least the 2 files in question to the TRAC version, all you can do until this fix gets put in a release is set Akismet as false in config.php. I am not 100% if you can just take: /bb-includes/akismet.php /bb-includes/functions.php Those 2 files out of changeset 722 and apply them and have this fixed, but I would backup those 2 files you have already and then try it out! If you are adventurous that is!

IE: <pre><code> <tr> <th scope=\"row\">This user is a bozo:</th> <td><input name=\"is_bozo\" id=\"is_bozo\" type=&quot;checkbox&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; /> </td> </code></pre> However in the actual view of the page it is not a checkbox but a row with a "1" that I cannot get rid of in the place of it. fel64 on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem#post-4799 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:52:17 +0000 fel64 4799@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I have the same screen as radkitten, but I do not notice anything out of the ordinary. I don't have to approve posts, for example. I'm using a .81 install (first version I installed), with a handful of plugins (post count, smilies, quick buttons on the post box). Looking at the page source code, <code>type=\"\"checkbox\"\"</code> and <code>value=\"\"1\"\"</code> (yes, there are double quotemarks). <pre><code><tr> <th scope=\"row\">This user is a bozo:</th> <td><input type=\"\"checkbox\"\" value=\"\"1\"\" id=\"is_bozo\" name=\"is_bozo\"/> </td> </tr></code></pre> I went to template-functions, to <code>bb_profile_admin_form</code>, and found no code for inclusion of a bozo checkbox, but code to include a custom member title etc. Edit: yeah, it is trying to double-escape my quote marks when I edit. I had to remove the original forward slashes now to avoid this. chrishajer on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem#post-4794 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 15:49:19 +0000 chrishajer 4794@http://bbpress.org/forums/ radkitten, that's interesting. It's supposed to be a checkbox as seen in this screenshot: <a href="http://www.chrishajer.com/bike/XLF/bozo2.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.chrishajer.com/bike/XLF/bozo2.png</a> Can you post the relevant source of the rendered page to see if the input is type="checkbox" like this? <code><td><input name=\\\"is_bozo\\\" id=\\\"is_bozo\\\" value=\\\"1\\\" type=\\\"checkbox\\\"></code> edit: those slashes do not appear in the HTML, just here after I pasted the HTML. I thought I saw a trac ticket for that already : <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/596" rel="nofollow">http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/596</a> edit2: they had one slash added the first time, then I edited above and a 2nd slash appeared, now I am editing now and I suspect there will be a 3rd slash when I check again. radkitten on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem#post-4790 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 11:41:50 +0000 radkitten 4790@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Here's a screenshot actually of my choices as an admin in my copy: <a href="http://am-fem.com/site/admin.gif" rel="nofollow">http://am-fem.com/site/admin.gif</a> radkitten on "Bozo problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bozo-problem#post-4789 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 11:30:33 +0000 radkitten 4789@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yeah, I am currently running 0.8.1 and I don't have a checkbox on user profiles to un-bozo them :-/ I just installed this like 2 days ago.
