SQL Error: (145) Table './mileageg_game/data' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

DB Query: SELECT p.*, d.*, u.username, u2.username as edited_username, pr.u_id as post_read FROM posts p JOIN data d ON d.id = p.d_id JOIN users u on u.user_id = d.u_id LEFT JOIN users u2 ON p.edited_by = u2.user_id LEFT JOIN post_read pr ON p.d_id = pr.d_id AND ( pr.u_id = NULL OR pr.u_id = 0 ) WHERE p.d_id = 335

1. users cannot register since they never get an email to confirm their email address.

I understand aterr uses exim4 as a mail courier, is there any way I can just use my gmail smtp server instead? Or, alternatively, how can i edit my exim4 configuration?

2. Cookies, while using firefox I am not able to log in, i get an error message saying cookies are disabled - they aren't.
When using konqueror I can login, but the side pane doesn't.. look right.

What can I do?

Thank you people :)

My goal is to have only have three or four forums, but there is a catch. When I link to the page I pass a code - for example - S005 C001 might be Ohio/Dayton. My forum might be called "Questions". I then need to show only questions for Dayton, Ohio.

I tried hacking into MyBB and phorum to figure out how to pass the locale code into all the SQL calls, but in discussion groups for both they said give it up.

How difficult would it be to try to create this functionality with Aterr?

It must be something simple that I'm overlooking because it seems other have it working???
Advise...

I'll check back here later. Thanks...

I've been away for a rather long time but now I'm back! Unfortunately developing aterr was shunted to the bottom of my stack of things to do, as a "free time" project. However, it's now time to continue.

I am currently in the process of rewriting the forum software from scratch. I'm doing this to take advantage of all the new PHP features (it won't be PHP 4 compatible), and to allow the addition of modules and templating. From a backend perspective it will also be faster as I have optimised the database structure.

I will be developing into a subversion repository. If you're interested in access, it's not public for the meantime while I sort out security issues but I'm happy to give people access. Just drop me an email at chris@starglade.org.

No one uses the forums because they have decided to use other available forums that have a few more features. The rest of the site is used exactly as it's designed. I think the forum would get a lot more useage if the following features were added;

1. A text editor (easily allows for bold, italics, etc.) with emoticons. See runango.com

2. Private Messaging

3. A new theme.

Thanks

I will pay a reasonable fee for anyone willing.
email me at the email address in my profile.

Thanks.

I've found a bug regarding aterr handling of sessions. The following is a descrption on how to re-create it. (The bug is also present on this site as ive tested myelf).

Ok,
1. Log into forums as normal.
2. Close browser WITHOUT logging off.
3. open up a browser again.
3. Navigate back to your aterr forum.
4. Ok, you will notice that it says that you are logged in.
5. Now try to post to a forum. It will say you ned to log in.
6. Log In.
7. Heres the Bug - 'Users online' will show 2 instances of the (you) same user logged in.

The bug is caused by the 'Staistics' code as it checks for users who have not accessed a page in the last five minutes, because it hasnt been five minutes (yet) since you last accessad a page, aterr shows you are still logged in.

There is no real quick fix aside from commenting out:

$sql = 'SELECT DISTINCT u.*, s.*
FROM user u, sessions s
WHERE s.u_id = u.user_id
AND s.time_last > ' . (time()-300) . '
ORDER BY s.time_last DESC';

$db->sql_query($sql);
$db->sql_data($whos_online);

and turning off guest sessions.

Hope this is useful.

Thanks in advance

Note: %5C is actually . Oh, and ignore the phpbb, that was just easier to use my old phpbb dir instead of making a new one.
It's a problem only if I install it on windows, and on the root dir of the site, as the basename function give back a . I've created a fix for it:
common.inc.php, line 29:
replace: if ('/' == dirname($file))
with: if ('/' == dirname($file) or '\' == dirname($file))
and on functions.inc.php, line 504
replace: if ('/' == dirname($file))
with: if ('/' == dirname($file) or '\' == dirname($file))
