You should now have Steam icons on your profiles if you fill in the relevant field on your profile. It's not as pretty as Prof's code, but it works. Puts a Steam mini-profile on your user profile page and a link to your Steam page on your user post details. So go fill them in, you bummers.

EDIT: And I've fixed single-sign on with only minor site borkage.

Erm, seems to come and go. Don't really know why. Also I think we might have a somewhat dirty and gashed together disco board. I'll try to link it at the top of the forum page, but there's a link for it on the front page if anyone wants a look.

Nice one pants! :w00t:

[edit] Apparently I'm not authorised to view the Disco board, is that normal?

It seems to have some problems linking peoples' existing WP accounts (from the old SSO solution) to their board accounts first time. After that it should be fine. Not sure how other people overcame it, but signing onto the front page should fix it.

It's still doing the same for me, can get to it from front page but forum link is still saying I am not authorised.

Should be fixed now. There were no permissions configured on the link 'forum'.

I think you've broken all the b/i/u/etc buttons with whatever got updated.

Interestingly, I can't log into the front page any more. Still log into the forum fine, just not the front page. It's meant to be a SSO right?

Edit: Password reset via the front page solved it.

It's an SSO, but if you already have a WP and a forum account it needs to link the two, and it's a bit temperamental. I should be able to do it manually, but whenever I put the search in I only get the first 10 users in the DB. Still, it gets there in the end and it's better than the not-SSO we had previously.

That new discoboard is quite cool, not quite as funky as the old in-forum one, but still good, however, is there anyway to make it order replies chronologically? It looks as if new replies are the top of the stack under an OP.

There are two options; Show new posts on top or bottom. I've switched to bottom, see if that's better.

The 'Media' button seems to have stopped working. In fact all the buttons seem to have stopped working. This is very strange as I just used the quote function a couple of posts ago.

Edit: quoting a post works, but using the quote button function within a post doesn't.

Yeah. One of the things I've done has broken the buttons. Possibly the Steam thing, but more likely when I clicked on the "integrate WP and PHPBB themes" button to see what happened. And I don't know how to fix it. And I can't even use the crying smilie to elicit sympathy because it doesn't work.

Seems to be JavaScript related according to dev tools, and the internets says you might need to restore the editor.JS file?
