In reply to: bbPress 1.0.2 not finding my-templates
Do any of the folder names have spaces in them? The Internet hates spaces.
In reply to: getting HTML validation errors…You don’t need a plugin at all, since these are not posts with the links: they’re sponsored images in your template.
You need to find this:
target="_blank"And replace it with this:
onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"in whatever file you added the target=”_blank” to. Sounds like it’s in your sidebar. You will need to manually edit that file. If it’s not a static file and is being generated by WordPress or something, then you would need a WordPress plugin to add the links with the javascript onclick instead of deprecated target=”_blank”.
“We cannot change this setting on our servers.”
I think they mean:
“We will not change this setting on our servers.”
Maybe you could do it with mod_rewrite?
In reply to: bbPress 1.0.2 not finding my-templatesThis was the discussion of mod_security changes by Hostgator causing (admittedly different) problems:

In reply to: bbPress 1.0.2 not finding my-templatesI think either or both you you (cillian and TrishaM) need to find someone you trust who may be local who knows what they are looking at. It’s difficult to troubleshoot without being able to look at things first hand.
Can you post a screenshot of an FTP listing of the files and directories, showing permission and ownership?
Also, do you have access to error logs? It’s possible some sort of PHP function is turned off that is required for accessing these files.
FWIW, I use 1and1 as well and have no problem on several servers.
In reply to: getting HTML validation errors…Yeah, the plugin would not help since those target=”_blank” attributes are not in the posts, they are for the ads. Don’t force them to open them in new windows or use the javascript method from sambauers and the page will validate fine.
In reply to: getting HTML validation errors…But you don’t need a plugin to add the code to open in
target="_blank", you are already doing it, which is what’s causing the validation problem. That is deprecated and invalid, so, you need to stop using it, or use Sam’s javascript method.In reply to: threads to show in their forum permanentlyYou could use a plugin to make all topics sticky by default. I haven’t seen that plugin yet, but I believe it would be possible to just make all the topics sticky when published.
In reply to: bbPress 1.0.2 not finding my-templatesI’d be curious to find out what is causing this. It’s a pretty simple system. Only a few things can go wrong (that I know of)
1. permissions of the my-templates folder
2. location of the my-templates folder
3. permissions of the individual folders inside my-templates
4. improper header
Maybe it will be something else in either of these cases and we can add to the list. Maybe there is some server function that is not present or the host recently changed a configuration. What hosting do you use?
mod_security being locked down recently at a couple hosts has caused problems for some people.
In reply to: bbPress 1.0.2 not finding my-templatesAre the subfolder permissions 755 as well?
They should be in my-templates, my-templates should be 755, and then each theme in its own folder, and that folder 755 as well. Any files inside the folder can be 644, but any folders should be 755.
For the duplicate copies of themes showing up, have you hidden any theme folders? I do that sometimes and I end up with multiple copies all looking the same.
Since this is not a common problem, it’s either something completely weird that’s not yet been reported, or it is the permissions problem, which has been reported.
In reply to: getting HTML validation errors…Not sure which two errors you received, but here are the two I received:
Line 31, Column 12: there is no attribute "clear"That’s true. It needs to be
<br style="clear:both;" />to be valid.Line 93, Column 50: there is no attribute "target"That’s true as well, but who cares? It brings me to one of my favorite _ck_ quotes of all time: “throw off your shackles of validation”
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22throw+off+your+shackles+of+validation%22
There are a couple of solutions there.
1. drop the attribute altogether (let the visitor determine where they want the link to open)
2. use Sam’s javascript solution
3. use _ck_’s route and just run with it. Who cares if it validates? It works just fine and has no negative affect on anything
In reply to: threads to show in their forum permanentlyOther than making it sticky, how would you like this to work? Would all the thread just be there forever, no matter how many there are?
In reply to: Whoa! (bbPress.org 2.0 is live)I’m sure someone with more CSS knowledge than me will be able to fix it using this additional information. Thanks for posting it.
In reply to: Whoa! (bbPress.org 2.0 is live)Here’s a screenshot of this page in Firefox 3.0.19 on Ubuntu. Looks the same to me with Chrome on Ubuntu and Chrome on XP as well. Not sure what’s causing the problem for you. I can’t replicate it.
Screenshot is 1.7MB

Were you using an external CSS mods with the old theme that might be affecting the new theme?
In reply to: any news on bbPress plugin .. maybe for WP3?Not going to happen for WordPress 3.0. I wouldn’t plan on it any time soon.
In reply to: Whoa! (bbPress.org 2.0 is live)They’re included in the 1.0 branch. I suppose it depends on the template you use to display the avatar.
I’m not sure why, but the fonts look fine and comparable to other sites here, for me. This is with Chrome 5 on Windows or Linux. FWIW.
CTRL+ takes care of font resize if I need it without any trouble. But I’ve never had to do that here.
Now THIS site has really small fonts on my system: http://faustltd.com/
For some reason design and architecture firms always seem to want those tiny fonts.
In reply to: Suddenly getting error when posting videosAre you guys with the same hosting company? Maybe they locked down the security or something. I heard about Media Temple doing this last week (mod_security or something.)
In reply to: Making an "if" statement for topics pageduplicate posts were caught by Akismet.
If you have the ability to download via subversion, please do that. It will download the externals for you. I forgot those are not included when you download from trac.
Is it related to this at all?

Can you check the response headers for a page that comes up to see if it’s actually 404 instead of 200, even though it displays? Or post the link to your forum so someone can check it out.
In reply to: Help needed for integrating bbPress with magentoYes, it’s possible. It will require some work, but it’s possible.
In reply to: Email changeIf you go to edit your profile, you should be able to change the email:
In reply to: Whoa! (bbPress.org 2.0 is live)Off topic comments removed.
In reply to: How do you write this?Specifically about this though, and what’s wrong with it:
<?php require( .$bb_pixpoint_url. '/1.html' );1. The . before the $bb_ and after the url means “concatenate” or “put together”. So you are putting together nothing, then the variable, then the 1.html. I don’t think it would work, since there is nothing to add to the beginning of the variable. Would probably give a syntax error
2. It’s not really a URL it’s a file system path. So, it’s poorly named.
3. I didn’t try it, but I think it would work otherwise, if you define the variable somewhere first.
