It's a machine in America for now (but only in terms of where its DNS points
to).  If you could just setup PhpBB3 somewhere temporary, I can give you the
archive which you should be able to import, to see if you can get it to
import.

Last I tried, it was unable to even do that, and none of the PhpBB
developers understood why -- hardly inspiring, is it?

At this point, I'd recommend switching to Simple Machines Forum (SMF):

http://www.simplemachines.org/

As that looks a lot more sane -- but this is only achieveable if a version
of PhpBB can restore its own archive, since you need a running instance of
PhpBB to migrate to SMF.

Also, I don't know anything about you... other than you seem to top-post,
and I wish you wouldn't.  :)

Thanks for your offer of help, I appreciate it.

Until someone who has a clue about PhpBB (which isn't me) volunteers
to help me get it up and running, then the forums are all but dead.

Restoring a .tar.gz copy of the database is problematic in that:

* The CGI times out (hacked by me originally to "fix" this as the
stupid PHP pages have some convoluted logic to offer hard-coded
timeouts.)

* And even when that purportedly succeeds and there appears to be
information in the database, the front-end PHP pages don't seem to
recognise the fact that there is data.

I don't have any mail links, no.  But those two points are it -- the
second one being more interesting.  And I am told there's been schema
change either, so it should "just work".

Hello,

I've been away from linux&fvwm for a year or two so I thought I'd refresh 
myself by taking a glance at the forums.

http://fvwm.lair.be/ appears to be blank. Has the forum moved or ceased to 
exist?

(Before anyone moans that I have made some obvious or lazy error; I did search 
the FAQs and I did search the mailing list archives. The last mails I could 
find specifically about the forum are from January 2009 and implied that the 
forums had been fixed).

Thanks,

Richard.

I've asked for help, but no one's yet come forward -- not surprising when
the problem is rather PhpBB-specific, and those folks haven't gotten back to

Hi!

I have been using fvwm for a couple of years. I am new in the list as I
have been more active in the fvwm forums. From what I can guess from this 
thread the forums are going to be down for a while and this list would be the 
place to communicate with people using fvwm.

Nice to be with fvwm users :-)

Cheers!

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to rush or anything like that. Just wanted
