Amazing work guys. Looking forward to this, will make the forum a bit easier to read and hopefully really expand the forum community. (also forum games will almost certainly need their own category. lol)

Looks pretty swell kestas! Thanks everyone for working on it.

I was going to reply over there, but it doesn't seem to want to allow me to login.

Nice work guys!!

I want to start trolling it but I can't login

also having trouble logging in.

Hmm, perhaps you folks having trouble are on www.webdiplomacy.net and the cookie isn't transferring over?

Try this link: www.webdiplomacy

No luck. When I try to post a reply I get prompted to log in. I enter my username and password and get the following:

"You have specified an incorrect username. Please check your username and try again. If you continue to have problems please contact the Board Administrator."

Looks awesome! Same login problem as Tom, unfortunately.

I'm having that problem as well.

I tried to register, and it said that I was the wrong type. I wasn't trying to date it!

I'm unable to log in.

Who's kestasjk?

The guy who created webdip :)

I intended that kind of as a joke. kestasjk is sometimes more of a ghost in the machine. And we have been granted an audience!

I think zultar must have convinced him he could get some +1s

Ah, you're supposed to add 'Is he knew?' to the end if it's a joke. Keep the webdip memes strong!

O captainmeme, my meme captain!

Woth the upgrade to the new style, bbc codes should work now too. Yay formatting!

pappy yes
well forum looks moister
categories are yuk for me but useful I guess

We should add a subforum called "Call for New Mods"

We should add a subforum called "Mafia"...
...and another called "Mafia - not council approved"

i like this current format

We should have a sub forum called:
Liberal safe space
And another called
Conservative Dumpster Fire

Interesting re: the logon errors.. wonder what's going on.. can everyone post their web browser when you report whether it's working so I can look for a pattern.

To be specific about what's going on:

It seems that I am technically logged in but the forum is not recognising that. Clicking the link takes me to the forum site, but with 'Welcome, Guest' at the top right.

Clicking any button that takes me off the forum (home, forum, games etc) appears to log me back in, as it says 'Welcome, Captainmeme' at the top when I do so. This includes the 'log on' button next to 'Welcome Guest' - clicking it takes you away from the forum, which logs you in, so it goes to the log out page instead.

Attempting to post a reply takes me to a different log in screen that's part of the forum itself, but attempting to log in there makes me receive the same message as everyone else (incorrect username).

I use Firefox (When I'm at my pc) and the Samsung web browser (When on phone).

I am experiencing exactly the same thing that Captainmeme has just described.

All screens / pages of Webdip *except* the new forum behave as though I am properly logged in. However, when I go the new forum pages, it says "Welcome, Guest" at the top right of the page, and I am not permitted to post in the new forum.

I have tried this using both Firefox, and also Microsoft Edge, and the experience is the same on both browsers.

I'll try diagnoise on my desktop shortly, i'm familiar with these cookie/sessions issues.

Give me a few minutes.

ok, so it appears to matter not whether i use the 'www.' prefix. Either way i can generate the following cookies (at least)
wD_Sess_User-5147 (where 5147 is my userID on webdip see:http://webdiplomacy.net/profile.php?userID=5147 )
phpbb3_6q7fq_u
phpbb3_6q7fq_sid
phpbb3_6q7fq_k

The following phpbb3 cookies, which i believe are auto-generated when you open the new forum. (though they seem to be missing the www. when i'm using that link, which is odd, i presume is part of some debugging you've been trying.)

(along with some google analytics cookies which i will ignore).

i'm pretty sure you want to generate PHPbb cookies when a user logs in, and persist them (which i know can be annoying...) and would force all users to log out and back in again once - to access the new forums.

At the moment i can't use the (new) forum page (see here: http://www.webdiplomacy.net/contrib/phpBB3/ucp.php?mode=login )

Which i presume would work, except it isn't detecting usernames from webdip.
I also assume you'd rather the links redirect to the regular webdip login page (see: http://webdiplomacy.net/logon.php ) so that all users are using a single page for login, rather than feeling like they were logging into the (new) forum and game site separately.

I used to work on a webgame where we had separate forums hosted on the same site, and it was annoying sorting out cookies and session ids, we never managed to integrate properly, so i've got feels for the task you're trying.
