ok so how come it doesn't happen to me?? And why was it working fine last week when I got messages from Andy.. nothing has changed so it should be working.. I will say though while trying to upload that Snowman pic the FTP kept asking me to log on and then would freeze then ask again and freeze..
Those errors I was predicting may be cropping up now.. They just added annother machine to the main server for more space and to handle more bandwidth.. So I don't know if it could just be issues with their upgrades they did at that time?
sigh..
BTW I've now sent supposedly successfully, two private messages to both Lunever and Gambit from two different machines on two different networks. (one from home on shaw and one from work on whatever they have)

It's not PMs that are the problem -- these still work fine for me. But sending an actual email doesn't work. Cow, try clicking the email button on any user profile and see if ti works -- I bet it doesn't.
I suspect it's something to do with the email configuration on the server, but I've never looked into it, so don't know what the problem might be.

I don't think it ever worked. Looks like the patch to phpBB 2.06 will fix it. But it's a lot of work to apply this to all the existing themes, especially as I can't remember what I did to most of them.
Three options:
1) Apply the patch but lose all the themes and only have the default theme (subSilver)
2) Apply the patch, and rebuild all themes -- I didn't mind doing this the first time round, but I have neither the time nor inclination to do it again for a small patch.
3) Live with the problem until phpBB 2.2 is released. (my preferred!)
It's my intention that when phpBB2.2 is released, we ditch all existing templates, mods, etc and start again from scratch. This makes more sense, especially as the whole styling/theming approach is radically different and most of it can be done through the admin panel in the new version.

Addendum:
Perhaps this is an opportunity to integrate the ability to support attachments. There is an attachments MOD which seems to work very well. But it really requires a clean install to be sure of working.
If people think that (1) above is worthwhile, now might be a good opportunity to add attachment posting. We'd lose all existing themes.
Or do we wait for phpBB 2.2 and start again from scratch?

No ETA (When It's Done (tm)). But I would suspect at least 3-6 more months for a stable release.
