　■I recently set up this bbs software on my website.
　│I am basically retarded and cant even figure out how to enter 'admin mode' or whatever in order to delete/edit people's messages.
　│The readme is kinda vague and of course there is no way to look up issues with this software in English. I had to troubleshoot a lot on my own.
　│I'm amazed I even got it to work considering I've never touched anything php related before.
　│Anyone have some basic usability tips or config changes I should make?
　│My bbs is going to be for a very niche subject and not really general discussion, I doubt many people will even use it.
　│
　├■Tell about it to us! What will it be about?
　││
　│└■I'm gonna try and focus it on source engine level design discussion.
　│　│But it will probably get a little more generalized than that.
　│　│People are always asking me to make a discord 'server' for whatever reason,
　│　│this is going to be my answer to that. And since its easy to download the logs the info posted will not get lost forever.
　│　│Also acts as a way for me to post even when I am not able to log into accounts.
　│　│Link included if any of you want to spam while I'm still messing with it.( ´ω`)

　│　││Damn, is that really you, Shy? From the Cock.li mailing list? This is
　│　││lolwut; we seem to bump into each other quite often, first on VidLii, 
　│　││and now here.
　│　││
　│　│└■Ahahhaha yes! you better believe I found heyuri via lurking on vidlii.
　│　│　　
　│　├■A Matrix room/space would've been a good discord replacement too.
　│　││You would probably need to find a good server though, since the popular
　│　││way of hosting a matrix server today requires a lot of resources - it
　│　││should get better in the coming years, but it sucks now (;´Д`)
　│　││Anyway, check matrix.org if you're interested in it
　│　││
　│　│└■Yeah a few of my friends use matrix and we talk via a matrix<>telegram(what I and most of my friends use) relay.
　│　│　　But really I have disdain even for telegram and have been considering matrix since it's self hosted.
　│　│　　I just prefer email and I actually do get MOST of my business inquiries via that.
　│　│　　A lot of people who might just have a general question seem like they don't want to/know how to send email.
　│　│　　So now with my super special bbs I can just link that and be like boom u can post no account needed bro(・∀・)!!
　│　│　　
　│　└■If it's intended as a discord replacement, you might be interested to 
　│　　│know that you can enable image uploads by setting 'BBSMODE_IMAGE' to 1
　│　　│
　│　　└■Oh I certainly considered using that option but after some thought...
　│　　　　I'd rather just use links!

　││Oh, the admin panel was such a hassle to setup. Make sure you have php5
　││or so installed as well, its what its written in
　││
　│└■I have it up and running on PHP7.4.28 - as explained in the old thread 
　│　│I linked, the only thing that needed changing was two instances of 
　│　│"eregi" in sub/patTemplate.php to "preg_match" and a slight adjustment 
　│　│to the regex, but that's been pre-done on the Heyuri github version 
　│　│ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　│　│
　│　└■Oh yes I found that one out pretty quickly!
　│　　　I decided to just install php 5.7 since I figured there would be more future issues involved than fixing that one function haha!
　│　　　
　└■Getting it working is half the battle, congratulations! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　│
　　│Check this thread from back when I discovered how to do it:
　　│https://ayashii.net/bbs.php?m=t&s=342&c=58
　　│
　　│Start from the post that begins with "Are you struggling to even get 
　　│the admin page open?" and then read upwards from there ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　│
　　│BTW - are you using the Japanese original, the semi-translated version, 
　　│or the fully translated version hosted here:
　　│https://github.com/Heyuri/ksphp-plus-en
　　│
　　│On the latter, I added a few TL notes here and there - including one to 
　　│conf.php beneath the 'ADMINKEY' entry that explains how to enter admin 
　　│mode - no such help is provided in the other versions (;´Д`)
　　│
　　└■Thank you!! this is extremely helpful!!, and yes i am using the original ja version.
　　　　I probably should have searched if this version was public first but ahh whatever.
　　　　I was able to get the admin page!!
　　　　I was trying the password in name and topic but never guessed to try it in the contents haha.ヽ(´∇`)ノヽ(´∇`)ノ
