 * Following those instructions for the blacklist/whitelisting ended up returning“
   500 Internal Server Error” messages. Now if you go to the website that you linked,
   it is also returning the same 500 Internal Server Errors as well.

 * This is definitely an issue that I’m having. This was with the default, freshly
   installed Word Press. I didn’t start using another theme until after I got tired
   trying to figure out what was not allowing me to post, just giving me a blank
   page.
 * It doesn’t seem to be a set amount of words either. I tried posting 15,061 Words(
   81,789 Characters) and it didn’t work. But if I posted 12,042 Words it would 
   work as long as I used <!–nextpage–>. I did another post with 16,213 words and
   it worked with <!–nextpage–>.
 * I’d prefer that I didn’t have to use nextpage. It does seem that if I’m using
   pictures then that limits how many words I can post even more.

   another theme until after I got tired trying to figure out what was not allowing
   me to post, just giving me a blank page.
 * Keep in mind that I am posting a really large stories. For example the last one
   I tried was 15,061 Words (81,789 Characters). I had to break it up into 2 parts
   and even then, those parts had to use the NextPage tag otherwise I would just
   get a blank post.

 * Hhhmmm I see. So I’ll just have to keep them has “tables” then unfortunately 
   until they change web browsers or add more functionality to CSS.

 * That is essentially what I already have. 3 div blocks border_header (.classA),
   border_content (.classB) and border_footer (.classC). The border_header and border_footer
   blocks are fine.
 * If I remove the height from border_content (.classB), which is basically what
   you have labeled .classB then the images vanish. They do not repeat and the column
   completely vanishes. If I add “height” in, they are there… and I can’t figure
   out why it isn’t working.
 * From what I understand Firefox has issues since there is nothing in the div container
   for the left and right div sides. So I tried putting a spacer in there but that
   still didn’t work. So then I just tried putting the image in the div table as
   a “img” tag. At least the column will show up when I try to debug it with Firebug
   now.
 *     ```
       <div id="border_content">
               <div id="border_leftBorder">  </div>
               <div id="border_contMain">  </div>
               <div id="border_rightBorder">  </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * As you can see:
    [http://www.pcxdesigns.com/dev/ipb3-wp/blog/](http://www.pcxdesigns.com/dev/ipb3-wp/blog/)
 * The right column is visible but only because I left the “height” in the .css.
   The left side column is vanished when I removed the “height” , or rather won’t
   repeat down even though the .css should be correct.
 *     ```
       #border_leftBorder {
       	background: url(http://www.pcxdesigns.com/dev/ipb3/public/style_images/protoculturex/border_mleft.png) repeat-y left top;
       	width: 40px;
       	float: left;
       }
   
       #border_contMain {
       	width: 600px;
       	float: left;
       }
   
       #border_rightBorder {
       	background: transparent url(http://www.pcxdesigns.com/dev/ipb3/public/style_images/protoculturex/border_mright.png) repeat-y scroll 0 0;
       	width: 40px;
       	height: 889px;
       	float: right;
       }

 * Since I can’t edit the original note. This project has been updated with some
   slight changes.
 * **Products Involved:**
    IP.Board 2.3 IP.Converge (IP.Converge) WordPress WordPress-
   MU
 * **Payment:**
    This would not be a completely free project, depending on estimates
   of time and how much work it would take to do I am willing to work out some payments
   for this to be done. I know there are other users interested in this, so this
   amount may be able to be increased with donations from others as well. It all
   depends on the initial estimate.
 * **Needed:**
    Experienced PHP programmer. Knowledge and experience of IP.Board
   and WordPress is a bonus and definitely would help in this.
 * **Plugin Request:**
    Although IP does have a multi-user blog, it lacks certain
   things that do not make it suitable for a community type forum environment where
   users like to have individual customization and choices to their styles. In the
   world of Facebook, MySpace, Live Journal, etc they are communities built around
   blogs where users can specificially customize their blogs/journals to represent
   themselves in their own unique and individual way.
 * A person could mod/hack to get the member databases to work between WordPress
   and IP.Board however the correct method would be to make a Plugin for IP.Converge
   and use that as a bridge between WordPress and IP.Board’s member database. Originally
   I had wanted to go with another Blog but after looking at requests on WordPress
   and IPB as well as doing some testing with the interface, WordPress seems better
   suited for this project.
 * WordPress and its multi-user counter part WordPress-MU both utilize Plugin’s 
   as well as IP.Converge. The programmer would need to create a Plugin for them,
   connecting to IP.Converge as a Plugin allowing the member databases to be synced
   up similar to how IP.Converge is used to connect 2 or more IP.Board member databases.
   From looking at other discussions and requests it is something that could be 
   done but requiring an experienced PHP programmer. By bridging them together this
   way, it is less likely that updates will require lots of time to keep Plugin’s
   current when WordPress and IP.Board upgrade.
 * From what I understand to start working on this and get it to work, we should
   utilize the converge_local folder located within the IP.Board base installation.
   That would need to be copied into the WordPress/WordPress-MU root directory and
   then modified to apply itself to WordPress instead of IP.Board. The login process
   would need to be modified to send a XMLRPC request to IP.Converge. An example
   of how IP.Board does that can be found within sources/loginauth/converge/auth.
   php within the IP.Board base directory.
 * If someone is interested in working on this but does not have access to the converge_local
   or auth.php files, I can provide them for you. Even though this is technically
   against the EULA for IP, Brandon and Charles are ok with it developers working
   providing we release the Plugin for others to use as well.
 * Documentation on the Converge XML-RPC process is [here](http://www.invisionpower.com/files/ipb23devdocs.pdf).
 * If you have any further questions please post here so we can keep it an open 
   discussion. Any questions about payment, time to complete and cost, etc can be
   emailed to me at [dark_severance@hotmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkseverance/replies/dark_severance@hotmail.com?output_format=md)
   or you can reach me via AOL Instant Messenger, Dark Severance or Yahoo Messenger,
