right now all it is is a 404 message if you try. there should be some kind of "opps, youre still a blank flank!" page with the cutie mark crusaders all frowning instead of just a 404 page. or maybe diamond tiara laughing at you >:)


Signature now 99% less edgy!

It's actually a 403 message, not 404. I don't know of any easy way to change the way that page looks, but it sounds like a cool idea to add some personality to it.

It would be a neat little gimmick to have the 404 in pony font.

 

I don't want to overuse the pony font. I think I'm already using it liberally enough as it is.

Even though I really hate being a Blank Flank, and not being able to change my avatar, Feld0 said they might scrap the idea. So, if you want your avatar, just get to 10 posts.

 

We're going to drop the limit down to 5 posts.

im not sure what language youre using, or how the code looks, but i would think that whatever checks the post count to see if you can edit your profile is written in a way that would make it easy to throw in an "ELSE go to this page" sort of thing.

 

but ive never coded for a webpage so i dont really know what im talking about :/

It's PHP. IP.Board is built as a complex framework - it's not as simple as just saying "go to X page". What happens is that if you are still in the Blank Flanks group and you try to do something Blank Flanks cannot (e.g.: edit your profile), an error message will be sent into the IPB framework, which is then displayed using a generic error template. All I can easily change in there is the language bit that appears inside the error's red box on the page.

I haven't actually seen the page in question (and know absolutely nothing about IP.Board from an administrative angle), but all you'd typically have to do to specify a custom error page would be to add the following line to .htaccess, unless IP.Board has its own way of handling all that.

 

ErrorDocument 403 http://www.example.com/whatever.extension

 

Changing the 403 to 404, 400, 500, etc would allow you to specify a different page for each error.

I think you should just get rid of the limit because people will just post spam post (i would if i had nothing to say lol)

 

Spam?

Nah...

I found this forum to be rather very active :3
