BTW, since our website is now on
https://oolite.space

and our forum is on
https://bb.oolite.space

I thought 'what if we had https://wiki.oolite.space'?
So I configured Cloudflare to forward the traffic - but look what we get on these URLs:
http://wiki.oolite.space/
https://wiki.oolite.space/

I believe some wiki admin would have to allow this new host header to be forwarded into the same or a similarly configured virtual host.
But who can do such tricks?

Done. We have a new link 'Contact us' on top and bottom of each page. Don't know if that form is subject to recaptcha.
But as it seems to disclose some personal data I created a separate forum Helprequests that is not publicly viewable. Administrators, Moderators and Spam Assassins should have access though.

tested. IMHO quite good.
I see the recaptcha at the bottom right - most likely it works on this form,
otherwise we will very soon receive a lot of spam from this form - we will see it soon ;)

Right On Commander!

It’s probably become more responsive and this makes it more comfortable to “surf” on it.

There is still a lot of work, both visual and on the server itself,
for example, the database is still running on default settings :?
@hiran wants to make everything work on its own, reliably, safely, and forever ;)

As usual, I don’t have enough time, I already forgot the last time I launched oolite :(

I responded to your enquiry in the forum. Are you able to see the post? If not, we'll have to respond via email which would give away some sender address.

Prosilver Dark Edition doesn't extend to the ACP for some reason.

As far as I understand, styles are not configured in the admin panel. I'm going to roll back the original style files almost exactly as they were. I want to collect all the improvements in one file and connect it in some standard way, otherwise it will be impossible to update the forum later and support the changes.

Prosilver dark edition also still has some things like various user groups/names (including my own) in a dark colour which is amost unreadable with that board skinning...

@Thargoid: if I stood you down as an assassin, your name would be black no longer.

Since last night I changed the colors of the groups to bright and cheerful ones, but Cody was outraged ))
I brought back the original colors in the dark theme just a few minutes ago.
Suggest colors for developers and moderators - and I will make them!
