So is anyone going to kick mkoxsrvg513 or is it finally time to let the bots take over?

AFAIK there is only modman and possibly The G who can do that.

I'm a mod on anther forum and it's a pretty thankless task (although I do enjoy tossing spammers).

I don't know if I'm the only one having this minor problem, but lately I haven't been getting mail notifications, which were a great way to keep up with replies. I haven't changed my notification settings before then, but while I still get notifications while opening up the site, I don't get a mail for it. I'm referring specifically to "replies to topic to which you're subscribed", which I checked I still am, and "mentions you in a post".
Hope I've made you aware of a problem, or at least to get more info about it.
Miss you Johan from Freestompboxes :D

Yes, there is a problem with the emails sent out by the forum in general. Thanks so much for the heads-up!
Looking at solutions right now... the setup was already kinda dodgy even when it worked.

Thanks for the quick reply, I was sure you were already working on it. I hope it won't be too hard.

Using Safari on Mac, the favicon isn't visible either, not even on the tabs... until you put your cursor in the address bar.

You need to turn this on in the Safari preferences:

Then you see them on the tabs:

I have nothing to do with that red fruit brand devices :)
I found the culprit, favicon is missing only on 'vintage' board style. Is it a conscious decision?

Ok, thanks, but it's best to just use the modern layout, there a few differences. Deviating from the standard theme makes forum software updates somewhat of a pain: all new stuff is always pro-silver only

I don't see 'pro-silver' in the seetings anymore. Board style only lists 'Boutique, Modern, Vintage'.

Sorry about my scarcity and late answers, I'm swamped with life thingies lately.

Right, the styles/themes situation. We have three styles available right now:
  1. Vintage - the default "prosilver" phpBB style, only renamed to emphasize its obsolescence/mojo. It will get minimal fixes and adaptations.
  2. Boutique - slightly modified "prosilver" style, which was the main FSB style until moving to the current server in 2020. Essentially, it's just a concession to a few FSB members' sense of style, so it gets the least love and care.
  3. Modern - the current main FSB style, uses much more up-to-date technologies and standards. It is the one getting fixes/improvements/updates.
I knew that naming styles this way on a guitar stompboxes forum has the potential to bite back, but I couldn't help myself.

All styles build on the default phpBB style, hence they will get all the changes done by the phpBB team on each update. But, given the time/resources constraints and each style user base, the Modern style will be the first to be tested for issues, while the others will have to wait.

At this moment, the user base for each style is
  • Vintage: 14 users
  • Boutique: 17 users
  • Modern: 59595 users

Found why the favicon dissapeared: the favicon.ico file was missing in the site root and the code of the Vintage style is the only one outdated enough to be confused by that.
The file is back, so the issue on the Vintage style should be gone now.

Can the admins check this? In the control panel, overview tab, manage attachents, there is a misalignment for the column names, POST TIME, DOWNLOADS and MARK. Only FILE NAME is at the right place. Maybe the same problem is present in other tabs. Tested on Firefox and Edge.

* The problem is present only for Modern board style (I was using that one, I just cheked). With other two (vintage and boutique) things are fine.
