    Looks like the main div is not closed properly, or the tags are nested improperly. Maybe FF handles that error different than IE7 does.

    I don’t think it has anything to do with lists, just improper HTML. I would validate the page here and see if fixing the div error helps the display in IE.

    Sam, a friend of mine tried this plugin on IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) and IIS 6 (Server 2K3) and still gets the 501 error and no mail.

    Would the trunk release be different that using the plugin in any way? We can try that instead if it will do anything different.

    The normal procedure is to post your 0bfuscated email here, then people can contact you. A moderator will lock the thread after you post your email.

    Are you using the “Admin can post anything” plugin?

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/apostrophe-issue?replies=7#post-12841

    It’s almost certainly a plugin issue. A stock bbPress install won’t do that, unless perhaps it’s really, really old. What version are you using (if you’re not using that plugin, or deactivating it doesn’t fix your problem(?

    Where did you download the plugin from. If someone can download the plugin and then compare it to the mail function in bbPress and see if there’s a reason it works in the plugin.

    Glad you found it.

    Not sure why, but you’re missing all the topic poster name stuff:

    topic_poster
    topic_poster_name
    topic_last_poster
    topic_last_poster_name

     

    Maybe there was an error with the name you selected when you setup the forum? Maybe it didn’t like a special character or something?

    It’s not a problem with the database but a problem with the data that’s being sent to create that first topic. I suspect there is a problem with the name that was entered. Do you know what that was?

    I wonder if there are differences between the bb_mail functions used by the registration function, and the favorites notification? If the favorites notification works, but the password email does not, there is some difference between the two that is probably causing the problem.

    It does. So far it appears the issue is that the IIS SMTP server doesn’t like something about the mail that’s being handed over from bbPress. Not sure what that is yet, but the SMTP server returns a 501 error then drops the connection. I need to find someone who is using IIS and has access to their logs to troubleshoot more thoroughly.

    I suspect that IIS does not like something about the mail that’s being handed off by bbPress. Need someone with an IIS server and access to the SMTP logs that can help troubleshoot this.

    Coming back to this:

    Are you using IIS 5 or 6 as the server? I started looking into it and it seems like the IIS SMTP server returns a 501 error when it receives the bbPress email. Is yours IIS?

    What links have you already tried?

    @chrishajer

    What changes did you make to the config file? And what is the URL?

    Is it possible permalinks are redirecting you to the wrong place now, somehow?

    The default theme is working here. Maybe something is cached with your browser. Clear the cache or use a different browser. The path to the theme in the source HTML is correct as well: http://www.guitarfxdepot.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    That still happens at bbpress.org/forums as well. This was reported long ago, but it still happens here. Maybe the same thing is happening to you.

    https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/588

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/redirect-error-on-login-at-bbpressorg

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/login-error

    I have noticed that even though the redirect seems to continue until the browser times out, if I cancel the page load, then just try to access the forum, I am logged in. Maybe you would find the same thing?

    Maybe it’s not noticed frequently by people who use bbPress heavily since their cookie never times out and they’re never asked to log in again?

    I saw r1012 today with that fix. Thanks. I thought I heard it was a PHP version thing before, but never really confirmed it.

    My server does not allow these overrides in the .htaccess to turn off error reporting. Maybe someone else’s server will?

    # suppress php errors
    php_flag display_startup_errors off
    php_flag display_errors off
    php_flag html_errors off

     

    Not sure if that suppresses all errors, or just errors and not warnings, or what. Didn’t work on my server :)

    I got that information here:

    Sam, there are no trac tickets that I know of, just forum reports. I’ve already provided links to those. I hesitate to create a trac ticket myself since I have not experienced it first hand. I suspect the developers haven’t either, which is why it appears to still be happening.

    Maybe instead of trying to recreate the problem, someone can look at lines 168 – 172 in bb-settings.php and see if the warning thrown on line 169 has a good reason. It certainly seems to be related to a missing my_plugins or bb-plugins folder, and no underscore plugins. I thought there was a difference between PHP4 and PHP5 at some point, but maybe that’s a red herring.

    Also, since it’s just a warning, maybe it’s not really a hard error, just a warning, but the server is configured to show warnings, thus the warning comes first and then you get the “cannot modify header information” because the warning came first. Maybe the server needs to be configured to show warnings for this to happen? Is there an .htaccess directive to force PHP to show warnings, or maybe another way to test this?

    (BTW, I just checked out 0.8.3.1 and configured my server to use PHP4 and I do not have this error. In the stock install, there is no my-plugins or bb-plugins folder. So, maybe it is throwing a warning but my server is not configured to show them?)

    What version of WordPress are you using and what version of bbPress?

    In reply to: How do I post sticky?

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    I think you can only make a thread sticky. At the bottom of the thread, when you are logged in, you will see this link:

    [Stick topic (to front)]

    Click either “Stick topic” or “to front” and the thread will be sticky. If you’re not admin (keymaster) I don’t think you see that.

    I don’t think the links are visible while creating a new post or thread. So make your post, then view it and look at the bottom of the page; you’ll see the links you need.

    Participant

    Yeah, I wish this were fixed in the 0.8.3.1 release but apparently, it’s not. This has been reported 3 or 4 times. Maybe the developers are using installations that always have their favorite plugins or something so they don’t see this error. Or maybe their PHP version handles it differently.

    Glad you got it working in any case

    What version are you using? In the trunk, line 169 of bb-settings.php does not have a foreach statement, so maybe you’re using something other than the trunk release?

    That error is related to not having a my-plugins folder and I think possibly not having any plugins in that folder that start with an underscore.

    This was talked about a couple times:

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-invalid-argument-supplied-for-foreach-in-bb-settingsphp-on-line-173

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-problem-cannot-modify-header-information

    https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-site-mangement-plugins-page

    I thought the latest 0.8.3.1 release took care of that, but maybe it doesn’t.

    If it were me, I would try creating a my-plugins directory, and then making sure there were some plugins in that folder.

    Regarding email notification, I would read this for an alternate opinion:

    “Q. Could you make a feature where I check a box that says “email me if somebody replies to my post?”

    A. This one feature, so easy to implement and thus so tempting to programmers, is the best way to kill dead any young forum. Implement this feature and you may never get to critical mass. Philip Greenspun’s LUSENET has this feature and you can watch it sapping the life out of young discussion groups.

    Why?

    What happens is that people go to the group to ask a question. If you offer the “notify me” checkbox, these people will post their question, check the box, and never come back. They’ll just read the replies in their mailbox. The end.

    If you eliminate the checkbox, people are left with no choice but to check back every once in a while. And while they’re checking back, they might read another post which looks interesting. And they might have something to contribute to that post. And in the critical early days when you’re trying to get the discussion group to take off, you’ve increased the “stickiness” and you’ve got more people hanging around, which helps achieve critical mass a lot quicker.”

    That’s from Joel Spolsky: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswithSo.html

    Regarding RSS to email, there are lots of services that will do that if you want. Feedblitz and Feedburner come to mind, but a Google search turns up lots of results as well:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=RSS+to+email

    Or, you could explain to your members how to use RSS.
