16777215 members cant register new member

[Tonyvic]

16777215 seems to be a number he can't get rid of, 4 years and still causing him grief.

I wonder if this person does this same thing in other aspects of their life.

Car not start, come fix.
Does it have gas in the tank?
I put air in tires.
But does it have gas?
tires are full.
What happens when you turn the key?
My seats are leather.
That's great, now what happens when you turn the key?
It not start. you need fix
I will as soon as you give me some info.
I did, tires full and leather seats.
I need some actual info to troubleshoot your problem.
car is pink.
Sigh.

I was expecting that they'd buy a car, take off the manufacturer's symbols and take it back to the dealer when there was a problem, and be surprised that the dealer won't help them until they put the car logo back.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Wasn't this the forum that was entirely fake?  Fake members, fake posts, fake stats.  It's probably the fake stats that are causing the problem.  Sometimes you get what you deserve.

[YogiBear]

I can barely get his site to load. 'Internal Server Error' is often what I get. Suggest delete the lot and start again - complete with SMF copyright.

Why are you posting my site?  My site DOES have SMF's copyright present.

Why you guys are lying people? That is my site. Its against © to even link it, so I will sue you   

car is pink.

Are you sure about that? What if car is brown, but browser will show us its red instead?

Brace for next question, will be about not being able to use more than 16,777,216 colours.

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:

please attach your index.template.php file to your next post. putting it in the post does not let us see it as clearly as if it is attached. also this would allow us to modify it and send it back to you.

[m4z]

Thanks! Maybe this is the misunderstanding: The complaints of the forum staff where not about the copyright *headers* in the source *code*, but instead about the copyright *footer* visible in the *browser*.

For some reason, the code (theme_copyright()) is there, but doesn't seem to work (or SimplePortal changed it?).
So that needs to be restored, so that it appears together with the portal copyright footer.

[Illori]

I think then we would need the OP to attach their Sources/Subs.php file so we can look into this further.

[Gary]

Actually, OP should attach his actual index.template.php, comparing what that code would generate for the copyright notice and what is actually generated by his site, they don't match.

The div classes and id's are different, and the posted code uses one div surrounding the copyright code, while the displayed code from his site uses two.

That indicates to me rather easily that it is in fact not his index.template.php

For some reason, the code (theme_copyright()) is there, but doesn't seem to work (or SimplePortal changed it?).

I've been using SMF with Simple Portal installed for three communities (total of six forums and ten themes currently running SMF 2.0.15 and Simple Portal 2.3.6 or 2.3.7) for many years and have never seen a situation where either the SMF or Simple Portal copyright notices were removed or not being displayed.

Thanks for clarifying! Since I've never used it, I was only speculating about that. (I hope that was clear.)

As Gary said, the code might not be what the actual site is using, so everything I said is moot anyway. Apparently comesee doesn't want our help.

what is the sql code to reassign numbers,i wnt to reassign the idnumber

[m4z]

Delete your least favorite user.

[Shambles]

The OP has already used deflective techniques (aka, "lies") to divert attention from his real site (by supplying false URLs etc). I cannot believe he's still receiving supportive responses.
