Hi all, I have a Windows 2008 SBS Standard Server which is my AD Server. I have setup VPN which allows users to connect but they are unable to access any network resources. I found out the reason is because the IP range given to VPN users is 192.168.1.x. How do i change the ip range given to VPN users so that its something like 192.168.99.x, etc?? Many thanks vmessy

Another odd duck after my Server 2008 installation... Internet Explorer 8 (or any other version of IE) cannot access local sites (e.g. on my Intranet). Example: My hardware router/firewall is set up at IP address 192.168.1.2 - one accesses/controls it via IE (it has a builtin web-server). When I try to access http://192.168.1.2 - IE8 punts me through the router itself on to the Internet (no longer on my LAN/Intranet) and I get a "192.168.1.2 not found" from bing. Yes, I've added 192.168.1.2 to my security -> intranet -> add setting for IE8. I can ping it just fine (it is working as I'm getting routed/forwarded out to the Internet) - it is just that I cannot speci…

I have to admit to having some favorite skin/theme designers. It seems as if they just have a good eye for what works. But I'm also going to admit that Olivier has moved up near the top of the pack. This Cielo skin is really sharp and it may be finding itself on one of my own forums. Good choice, Bob.

Hi, I am a little new to the Windows environment and have been researching around this topic but I did not find any useful docs that would describe if I can replicate schema from an Active Directory into an AD LDS (formerly known ADAM) instance ? I would need only some attribute to replicate ie. username, password, phone, email address etc. Is it possible to replicate these informations from AD into a LDS ? I have found informations that describe I can replicate schema and configuration from another LDs instance but not from an Active Directory structure. Please help me if you have any links docs about this topic. THanks !

A quick message to say hello and to congratulate Bob on this new forum. I see this as being a really great resource for all forum admins. I've been online for more years than I care to count but as a hint, my first online experience came via the use of a 300 baud modem. I set up my first forum on phpBB2, back in 2004. I moved to vBulletin in February 2005 and added three more forums over the years. In November of last year, I moved all four sites to Invision Power Board and have since added a fifth site. I am a former vBSEO user and have modified some files to try to optimize IPB. I'm looking forward to the changes we'll see in IPB 3.1.0, too! So I hope to bec…

Key things include: More clunky javascript removal, more beautiful CSS used for transitions More slow javascript removed, more beautiful native Javascript used (fixes lots of minor things, including slow tag selection) More editor fixes More Javascript and CSS removed to address layout shifts and reflows for that beautiful Pagespeed. Bumper extensions and listeners for developers to use including: MFA Handlers, share services, userMenu additions, loads more listener types (polls, courses, files, etc), more extensions methods for tables and clubs. No tariffs Phew. As always, this is a beta release and with a fair amount of javascript changed and removed, you may come across the odd thing so please let us know if you do. -
We’re excited to introduce our newest theme — Horizon! We’ve been testing Horizon internally for some time and are now ready to test here on Meta so we can get your feedback on how to continue improving this theme. In this topic, we’ll share the goals behind Horizon and provide guidance for how to test and share your feedback with us. Getting to know Horizon Horizon is a simple, beautiful theme that aspires to become the new out-of-the-box experience for Discourse sites. Who is Horizon for? While we hope that Horizon is a great fit for many communities, we created Horizon with specific users in mind — non-technical admins and everyday members. Non-technical admins are community admins who have limited technical expertise and no access to design or development resources. They don’t have the resources or know-how to customize Discourse’s appearance to work best for their community, but still believe that Discourse is a great fit for their community. Everyday members fall somewhere in between the one-time visitor and the elite power user. They regularly read and post in the community, and are more likely to visit Discourse primarily (if not exclusively) from their phones. We are proud that Discourse is so flexible and customizable, we want to make sure Discourse remains a great option for all communities, regardless of technical expertise or resources. We created Horizon for admins that don’t have access to design or developer resources, but still want a great looking community that your members will love. What’s different about Horizon? While our Default theme is a relatively blank slate, Horizon is an opinionated theme. That means we have made certain choices about how Discourse looks and operates while using this theme in order to provide a great overall user experience for our target users (described above). Here are some changes you might notice: Topic cards are less information dense. The most noticeable feature of Horizon is the topic card. We have pruned out as much information as we can to keep the topic list looking clean and approachable. Certain information, like a more robust list of topic participants and topic tags, are not visible on the topic card. Horizon is not intended to support additional customizations. Because we’re targeting an audience that isn’t able or interested in customizing Discourse’s appearance or behavior, Horizon is not guaranteed to work well with all theme components or customizations. That said, we’ve tested Horizon against the most popular theme components and the incompatibilities we’ve found so far are minor. We’ll work to address those over time. For now, we do not recommend activating theme components with Horizon or adding your own customizations. Horizon includes new color palettes that admins can enable to give members greater control over their community experience. Once enabled through the admin Color Palette settings, members can select from one of six theme-specific color palettes for a custom look and feel. Larger text in the reading area. You’ll notice that Horizon’s reading area (i.e. topics) has slightly larger text than the rest of the interface text. We’re experimenting with this differentiated text size with the hope that it makes topics easier to read, while keeping less important text — like sidebar links — more minimal and less distracting. Testing and sharing your feedback You can check out Horizon on Meta using the theme switcher in the bottom of your sidebar: As you test here on Meta or in your own community, you may run into issues with the visual design or incompatibilities with certain theme components or customizations. When that happens, please let us know. Your feedback will help us improve Horizon so that we can begin making it available more broadly. Please note that we may not address all feedback that we receive at this time. That doesn’t mean your feedback is invalid or invaluable — it just means we want to continue to test a certain idea or design decision to better understand how it serves the needs of our target users. Known issues / work in progress areas Here are a few areas where we’re actively working: Improving the topic timeline design. Right now it’s a little wide, we’d like to make it more subtle so it takes up less visual space and demands less attention. Identifying areas where layouts and styles aren’t applying correctly. The invite screens are one area where there are minor visual discrepancies. We’ve made a lot of these fixes already, but please keep letting us know as you find areas where things don’t look quite right. Touching up color palettes to ensure accessibility. Horizon has a more streamlined color system (and has inspired some new color palettes, e.g. Lily, Clover, Royal, Marigold, etc.). We’re working on making sure Horizon is accessible and has the proper contrast in light and dark modes. 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic

Ever since we introduced the admin sidebar, our long term goal has been to bring a more comprehensive search to the admin interface that helps admins and moderators find exactly what they need without having to dig through many pages and settings manually. This method is so much faster than the old way, and we are excited to see if it helps you navigate the admin interface more efficiently . Finding what you’re looking for You can launch a quick search from anywhere in the admin interface with the shortcut Ctrl+/ , or on macOS, ⌘ +/ . This will bring up a window like this: You will see here that there are several different checked boxes beneath the input. These are the types of things you can search from here: Pages - Every page in the admin interface, including sub-pages not shown in the sidebar, and plugin pages Settings - Every site setting, which includes the setting description and keywords Themes - Every installed theme, whether they are enabled or disabled Components - Every installed theme component, whether they are enabled or disabled Reports - Every admin report, which includes a description of the report You can click these boxes to filter out the various types of search results. Here are some examples of each: Pages Settings Themes Components Reports You can also visit a full page version of the search by pressing Enter when results are being shown, or by clicking “Search” in the admin sidebar, which will take you to /admin/search. Enabling admin search You can turn this feature on with the experimental admin search enabled groups setting, which you can find in the Experimental config page at /admin/config/experimental: Note that when this feature is enabled, the keyboard shortcut for the admin sidebar filter is used for the search instead. Testing and sharing your feedback We are opening up this feature for feedback now, please post in this topic if you have any or if you notice any bugs that need to be fixed. At this time, we won’t be going much deeper into improvements for this search, but we will make it as good as we can in its current state. That being said, there are some known limitations or improvements to be made: There is currently no ranking of search results, they are returned in the same order as the types of results (e.g. Pages, Settings, Themes, Components, Reports) The fuzzyness of searching is pretty basic, but is usually good enough to find what you need if you vaguely know the name When you click on a setting, usually it opens a page and filters the site settings on that page, at some point we want a fancier solution which highlights the part of the page you were looking for 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic

It also helps you identify what’s working, where to improve, and how to make data-driven decisions that strengthen your strategy.
