Thank you for all your hard work, Jerry! -Suz (10 years ago, 6-Mar-15, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Intermittent Outage Notification: Lugnet Server Move
 
All, if you are reading this, you will have made it to the new Lugnet server. We are not quite there yet, but things are working reasonably well, therefore I am keeping this machine online and will be fixing stuff as we move along. Posting via the (...)

  Re: Getting an error when viewing posts
 
(...) I got the same error when I tried (shortly after reading your message), so it wasn't only you. Play well, Jacob (10 years ago, 16-Feb-15, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Getting an error when viewing posts
 
(...) Well, either it's been fixed, or it was an issue with the computer from which I was trying to access LUGNET this afternoon. (10 years ago, 15-Feb-15, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Getting an error when viewing posts
 
Clicking on an individual post, rather than on the board-level overview, gives the following error message: === An internal server error occurred: DBI connect('host=localh...web4',...) failed: Access denied for user 'web4'@'localhost' (using (...)

  Re: Change in News Display Behavior
 
Update: The list Todd spotted has now also been cleared of the poster name display if visitor is not signed in. I have now disabled the link to the raw message for non-signed-in users as well. Hope that helps. Thanks, Jerry (10 years ago, 15-Dec-14, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Change in News Display Behavior
 
(...) Hi Todd, yes correct, I only took out the Author field from the message display and the "name" field from the list view - however you seem to have spotted at least one more place that I have not covered, so I'll probably spend some more time (...)

  Re: Change in News Display Behavior
 
(...) Hi Jerry, Thanks for the update. Point of clarification: This is only for the web view, yes? And specifically, only the field called "Author"? I see that the "From" and "X-Real-Life-Name" headers of the raw NNTP message, e.g. (URL) still (...) (10 years ago, 15-Dec-14, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Change in News Display Behavior
 
All, due to privacy concerns raised by a few individuals, the news display has been modified slightly. Going forward, only registered and signed-in members will be able to see the "Author" field of news posts. For visitors and search engines, this (...)

  Please add LUGNET Color Reference to Guide homepage
 
Hey, I just noticed that LUGNET's Color Reference: (URL) is missing from the links on the Guide entry page: (URL) Here's the original announcement for the color reference: (URL) Obviously it's out of date at this point, but I still find it useful (...)

  Free Lugnet Now! (was: The LEGO Company and the North American AFOL)
 
(...) That's not a terrible idea. Open up the database area to input from all members. Although I have some concerns that the existing input methods may not be terribly user-friendly. Steve (12 years ago, 17-Dec-12, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Please add game/set 3853
 
Please add game 'Banana Balance' #3853, to the Lugnet set reference. Front of box says 2-4 players, ages 6+, 5-15 (minutes I presume) Back of box says: 1 buildable LEGO Dice, 48 LEGO pieces, Rules booklet. No obvious price, but I'm guessing (...) (12 years ago, 30-Oct-12, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Forum shift
 
(...) I took a look at the archives of the debian-security-announce mailing-list from 2001 up to today. I couldn't find a single security report on CNEWS (and only one 2001 local vulnerability in INN). Play well, Jacob (13 years ago, 27-Jun-11, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Weird issue signing in?
 
I seem to be having weird issues signing in to Lugnet. When I go to the sign-in page, it displays the ID/password fields, but also has "Ross, you are already signed in. Did you want to sign out?" at the top, when I'm definitely signed out. In IE9 I (...) (14 years ago, 21-May-11, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Forum shift
 
(...) Apologies, I wasn't talking about totally overhauling the NNTP system, I was talking about using what's available-- IE, the member passwords, which are the only passwords currently on the LUGNET interface to my knowledge.
