Asian DramaWiki Forum

Hi, the social media accounts were set up by User:Msmall92 in 2015... read User_talk:MoerkJ#Social_medias for the history. I never got the passwords for the accounts and Msmall92 hasn't used the twitter/facebook accounts after making a few tweets/posts. :-( :idea: Technically it should be possible t...

You get this error when you browse the forum through a https link. The https support on our server is broken (because the certificate is outdated or so). Everything should work fine when you access the forum through a http link. Just removing the "s" in your browsers address bar should fix...

I restarted the web service...

DramaWiki and FansubWiki should be running normally now

The daily database backup maintenance takes about 5 minutes and starts at 12:00 CET (which should be 19:00 in Malaysia). It seems that in the past our backup routine caused some technical problems which made the server running slow or instable sometimes. Now the backup script sets the wiki into read...

I have disabled the " Top Ten Topics " extension. It seems that this extension was putting too much stress to our database and was the cause for the many technical problems (i.e. database crashes) in the past. You can use the "New posts" and "Active topics" functions in...

software upgrade finished

In the night from 7th to 8th May 2016 (after mignight CET) the forum will be down for a short time.

We will update our forum software and it is planned that the downtime should last a few minutes only.

Good idea! It took some time, but finally I got it to work.

This feature was already enabled but due to some conflicting settings of the user/forum/group/role permissions it never worked.

added .7z to the list of allowed archive attachments. allowed extensions of the "archive" group are now: 7z, ace, gtar, gz, rar, tar, zip I don't know how popular .7z is... I guess .zip and .rar are by far most popular under Windows... and I still see users asking what rar files are. Peopl...

changed the forum style back from the standard "prosilver" style to the "SE Square Left" style. after all "SE Square Left" is an official prosilver extension provided by phpBB Limited. And since "SE Square Left" inherits from prosilver, nothing should break wh...

The name field format in the profile section of artist pages is defined in DramaWiki:Korean Artist Article Formatting . It contains already the Revised Romanization in parentheses. ==Profile== *'''Name:''' <stage name in hangul> / <see note> (<revised romanization>) But you are right, the given roma...

Hi odaesan, I've noticed these links too. But I was unsure what to do. It looks like Johz started all this mass-linking to chinesemov some weeks/months ago. I've sent him a message on his talk page to stop that. Interestingly, there were only two pages that had links to chinesemov before Johz joined...

:D Well, I hope that DramaWiki editors frequently check the maintenance section or the special tool pages (e.g. Short pages, Uncategorized pages, Wanted pages, New pages, Gallery of new files, Unused files, etc. etc.) to find pages/files that can be improved. Admins will regularly check the maintena...

The FansubWiki is now reachable through http://fansub.d-addicts.com/ again. The DNS settings have been fixed. The above mentioned hosts file edits are not necessary anymore. But as a regular wiki editor you may want to keep them to bypass the Cloudflare proxy to avoid possible proxy caching problems.

You can check http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Linklist_to_daily_TNSMK_ratings for the latest daily Top20 ratings lists provided by TMNS Korea. Note that TMNS only provides free access to ratings of the last 12 or 13 months (i.e. up to May 2014). There are also weekly lists on the TMNS website. A similar s...

Well, I think it is better to have the user profiles not publically readable. And I think it was the same for our old forum. So, you always needed to be a registered forum member to lookup other user's profile page. :idea: Why not sending them a screenshot of your profile page. Or save the page as h...

What's the best course of action if there's an actor with two pages under two different names, with mostly but not entirely redundant information? If there exist two pages for the same actor then you merge the pages to one... Howto: Just combine the information of the two pages on the one page you ...

524 and 520 errors (from CloudFlare): Such errors may happen when accessing the forum when the forum server is veryvery busy or when it crashed (see next paragraph).

If you cannot disambiguate person pages by birthdate and/or profession then you could (additionally) use a consecutive numbering scheme. IMDb for example uses Roman numerals in brackets and additionally uses a slash ('/') to separate the numbers from birth years for persons with a same name and birt...

I got the same error for the GTO page (and a few others) when I access DramaWiki through the CloudFlare proxy . :-( The anti-hotlink settings don't seem to work properly with the CloudFlare proxy we use. Strange is that it only breaks some images and not all. :scratch: I turned the hotlink protectio...

Thanks for noticing. I cannot re-create this bug at the moment. But I will investigate this further. Usually you'll see the hotlink pic only if the referer is not DramaWiki or this forum. Maybe it's a proxy issue. Did you accessed the "Spy" page through another website which hotlinked the ...

unfortunately the DNS setting for FansubWiki still hasn't been fixed...

So, I changed the wiki's configuration that you all can reach FansubWiki now through its IP-address.

http://46.165.216.86/~fansub/fansub/

because the DNS setting is still not fixed you can reach FansubWiki now through its IP-address

http://46.165.216.86/~fansub/fansub/

"This page cannot be displayed because it uses an unsupported protocol". I haven't seen this error message before. Is it generated by the forum? The problem is probably neither on your side (Opera browser) nor on our side (D-Addicts webserver). Since December 2014 our server uses CloudFla...

this should be fixed now with the update to phpBB v3.1.3

https://wiki.phpbb.com/Release_Highlights/3.1.3

You probably need someting like Subrip. See Guide1, Guide2

moving topic to tech forum... the subtitle forum is for uploading subtitles & discuss uploaded subs

sorry, it should work now

I did only activate the features in the board and the forums configuration. I forgot to explicitly give the search and download permissions also to the user group "Guests".

It is on our todo-list

viewtopic.php?f=46&t=160373

The link to the subtitles index is now guest readable again. Sorry, I forgot to fix that setting after "disabling" the old forum. I also had to restrict or even disable some board features during the last days because the new board ran very unstable. I hope it has been fixed. The search fu...

Yeah, it looks like we've been using CloudFlare as proxy service since end of December 2014 or so. Don't ask me why. It surely has some advantages. I did only noticed it by accident when wondering about the recent DNS problems of some users. I didn't noticed it earlier because I bypassed it by acces...

no there is no other workaround, sorry.
the trick with the hosts file is just a temporary solution until the DNS issue is fixed.

I informed Ruroshin to check the domain registration for "fansub.d-addicts.com" ... should be working again soon. *fingerscrossed*

thanks for the suggestions.

but unfortunately we are using phpBB 3.1 and all suggestions were for phpBB 3.0 only
there are still no style packs available for phpBB 3.1

also the number of extensions and tools for phpBB 3.1 is very very small... compared to the well supported phpBB 3.0

The DNS problem is known.
A workaround has been posted in the Tech Support forum: viewtopic.php?t=160390

The forum search is not fully working yet because only the posts until June 2012 are indexed yet. Therefore you cannot find anything that was posted between June 2012 and end o...

if this is a limitation by the board software then I see only two solutions:

don't use non-ASCII chars
pack your sub files in archives (zip or rar) and upload these.
The name of the archive file should be composed of ASCII characters (of course).

thanks for noticing...

yes, we still need to fix the links.

I think there is a misunderstanding. Our wikis are running on a different server. They were never a "part" of the forum. This forum is still missing some menu or sidebar where we can put links to these and other sites. FansubWiki with its fansub maps DramaWiki - our drama database The subt...

Old site : https://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_127446.htm New site: https://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=127446.htm well, technically this isn't fully correct: normal link to old forum thread: http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=127446 "pretty url" l...

The info with the MVPS hosts file was misleading, because it does not fix the fansubwiki problem and it is not a good place to get the info you need. The MVPS hosts file works as ad-blocker. I've been using it for many years. It adds the addresses of thousands of ad-servers to your hosts file to blo...

you must be kidding.. switching again? :nuts: i don't want to know how many days it will take to re-add all custom features from the old forum. customizing , some configurations and fixing broken stuff will take some time. the only point for critisism is that we should have used phpBB 3.0.12 instead...

the forum search of the new board isn't working properly yet because the software still didn't finish indexing all 1.2 million old posts. indexing status so far: All posts up to post id 816100 have now been indexed, of which 162 posts were within this step. The current rate of indexing is approximat...

I hope the problem is solved now.

I deleted all user sessions for the old forum by emptying the sessions table in the database.

ah, I see. Sometimes the server shows hidden parameters of a request in the url box of your browser. These parameters are just valid for your session (or search action in this case) and should never be posted anywhere. They exist only for the software to distinguish different search requests for the...

is there still a problem that needs to be fixed? can you please provide examples next time you report problems. for example: what exactly is missing in the subtitle index? I assume the list was somehow broken when our server "crashed" yesterday. The index has been rebuilt and is complete n...

testing spoiler tag...

note: to make it show correctly in older posts we still need to re-parse all bbcode in the whole forum...

spoiler tags are not part of the board software.
it still needs to be added through an add-on.

All extras we added to the old board needs to be added to the new board.
You still have to wait for that until it has been implemented.

You always get this error when you try to login on the old board. This is normal because there is no way to configure the phpBB2 board to read-only mode. We made it read-only simply by locking the whole forum database during migration. This was done to avoid any further changes to the board (i.e. ne...

Yeah, can be done. It has been requested several times already.

The thread indexer for the subtitles index page needs to be updated for the new forum anyway. Then we can also change to a different forum structure with language specific subforums.

when the migration starts (Dec 25) the forum will be locked. so, no posts or changes to the old forum are possible anymore. when the new forum opens after migration you can post again. the new forum will open between December 25 and January 1, depending how long the migration takes. The forum will b...

:idea: If you want the torrent database then just ask Ruroshin. There is no need to scrape data from google cache or any internet archivers. We still have all the data (86912 torrents). Ruro just removed the db access (through torrents.php) for some reason which I don't know either. $> "SELECT ...

now this sounds like a problem on your side. Try clearing your browser cache. And maybe restart your browser.

and make sure that you always access the forum using the url "http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/" (with the "www" !)

Obviously I'm running out of ideas... sorry.

MoerkJ wrote:Most likely your file contains an "&", "?", or "=" that truncates the url during posting, so that a later "mode" argument inside the url is missed by the forum software.

hmmm, maybe some weird text in the attachment description???

you are probably experiencing one of those famous forum software bugs. :| most of the time you get weird errors or empty posts if you enter links that contain certain special characters, like an "!" for example. You need to escape such characters (e.g. write %21 instead of the !). In some ...

thanks for the offer.... We already have a nice rip in high resolution (960x540 WMV9) at http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_127421.htm . I don't know what source was used for that rip. A rip from DVD would have a similar resolution of 720x480 or 720x576. So, I guess the overall quality would b...

The issue has been fixed.

Now, our servers are properly configured. So, those strict email servers shouldn't block mails from d-addicts.com anymore. I have successfully tested it for GMX.

How do you try to download them? Which browser and/or operating system do you use? Maybe some other software (e.g. anti-virus software) blocks the download or has changed the file association for rar files. Usually I never left-click on links to download files. I mostly download using the right mous...

genre describes a topic... something the drama is about. no need to explain that, i guess. with format we actually mean broadcast format, e.g. weekly drama, daily drama, morning drama (asadora?), night drama, omnibus drama, renzuku, tanpatsu etc. or some specific series format like the "Drama ...

Well, only Ruroshin can really fix this bug. His uploader code is used to generate the XML file. I have hacked the script which generates the XML a little. My little workaround replaces the torcache link with a torrage link. I hope it works. Btw, I never used that feed. It did also contain working a...

Sorry for the trouble you had. But, what do you mean with "we are no longer allowed to report it in the proper forum." or with "to castrate the reporting system" ? The Tech Support forum is the #1 place to report technical problems and to ask for technical help. If you get no hel...

done

Just do it like in Japanese Wikipedia if unsure. You can create the page using one name (i.e.stage name), and create a page redirect using an alternative page title (i.e. full/real name). You can do this easily in two steps using the move feature. 1. create the page using the full name as page title...

Now, I'm using an old working email address which forwards to my blocked account.

Hi, recently I noticed that GMX and other 1&1 email services block all emails sent from d-addicts.com. This means that account registrations and email notifications are not working for users with GMX email accounts. This email problem affects both, our foum and our wikis (DramaWiki and FansubWik...

uh, forgot to check here... well it would be nice to have all dramas listed in DramaWiki, not only those that air on classic TV. Dramas for Web, mobile devices, or dramas that never aired but are sold on VHS/DVD, or through app stores, etc. can be added. see, previous discussions on my talk page: ht...

well, I think the apache server isn't optimally configured yet. I just lowered some "prefork MPM" settings. Maybe this will help. The mysql server settings may need some tweeking as well. Perhaps some values need to be lowered because the server has only 4GB RAM. This might cause these loc...

some security changes to the alpha forum:
- reCaptcha module installed by waf
- Anti-Spam module installed now
- pruned all spam accounts and spam posts

The recent "downtimes" are probably caused by the alpha forum. This should be fixed soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience. A few days ago, I have deleted all generated thumbnail images which were older than 600 days. The DramaWiki server should automatically generate them if needed. If you see no images (thumbnails) on a certain page then try to - clear your browser cache and reload the wiki...

I have exported the pak file.
It can be successfully imported in the ACP.
A copy of the pak file is in the backup folder.

yeah, I copied our old smiley files to the proper folder.
and in th ACP I fixed the default 15x15 size to the right size for each smiley. . ε-(´・｀) ﾌｰ

I'll create a smiley pack, so it is less work next time.
