Sometimes I can't see the buttons at reply.

Does that happen at you guys, too?

Weird. I'll wait until tomorrow. (Now I couldn't see your avatar from Chrome, but it worked in Firefox.)
Just what the heck is going on...

(The manual php.ini mangle was strange enough. :D)

Sorry about the recent downtime (suspension).
It was about the mails. In short: We can send out mails, but then we cannot.
Sounds confusing? I bet.

LiveSupport: If you send more than 200 messages per hour or over a 2000 messages per day using either our CGI servers or our Newsletter Manager, our system will basically block them from sending any new emails. Also, you can send 500 emails per hour and 5000 e-mails per day using SMTP server.

Support after suspension: The mail limits for this type of mail (CGI generated mail) are 200 per hour, but we do not permit mass mailing from the shared platform. We advise you use EmailBrain or another bulk mail solution as our mail system was not designed for bulk mail.


The forum engine uses CGI, so basically that's 200 messages per hour / 2000 messages per day.
And we couldn't just "not send new mails" but outright got suspended.

The avatar issue in Chrome was caused by the Hungarian AdBlock filters in Chrome.

Modified the SQL by hand, so the banned people (bots/gprs/3G networks) can now ACCESS the site.
They cannot register, login, or post. But can see the site.

Please message me instantly if the modification affected anything else as well.
(I did a complete backup so I can just pop the old ban table back in.)

Update #1: Added a new theme called "Ambassador".
I'll take a look at the themes to see if there is any other good ones out there.
(And I'll rename the old Argentum/GrayStyle ones. Add a prefix like "! -" or something like that so people know that those are tested.)

This theme is just great! Much better dark shades than Graystyle and easier members management. Only 2 things...
  • the font size in this textarea (where you write posts) is too big;
  • the yellowish parts of the theme - maybe it would be better if they're blue like the main site color (but if that cannot be changed - no problem, the theme is still great).

You are right about both, I'll fix it up later today. :)

Update: I have re-colored the bling-bling theme but for some reason the site reloads the changes really slow.

I even added a new sub-domain at CloudFlare for direct access. But it didn't help.
Throwing out cache (local/server) doesn't help either.

Update 2: Okay, things are working now.
It'll be a bit icy/cool, but I'll try to make it as qB as I can. #swag #yolo
(It will appear half-complete for some time until cache/DNS clears.)

Update 3: There is a minor glitch at some buttons, gotta fix that.
Oh and the font, right. On it!

Do you mean a little white space under the buttons of top Main menu and in topics (Reply, etc.)?
The fontsize is still big in the posting textarea.

Fixed the font size (it may take a while to refresh through Cloudflare.)
Now that white box... nooo idea.

Can anyone shed some light on it?
I only find the "gfx" file behind it, but even if I "disable it" from Firefox/Chrome, the white background stays there. Grrr.

I only used ads to cover the hosting. As Chris contacted and helped me out financially, there is no need for ads anymore. :)

(I actually really, really hate ads. And damn, I used the same ad code everywhere I just could, and only a few euro. Well, next time I'll use it up for the next year cost. I also asked and got a refund and GoDaddy that can also be used for further hosting later.)
