So expanding on initial thoughts first:

The only real thing I feel like I'm missing is the embedded pics/youtube/excel files.  I can live with that if that's the only thing missing.  However, the more stable this is, the more I can play with settings to see if there are any other flags.  So far so good!

The items that Yvaud specifically listed in the upgrade package (@function, PMs, polls) are things that I do not care about.  Like at all for those 3.  Useless features for our purposes.

Are there levels of Admin?

It's not allowing me to Edit User

 

Edit: This might be related to a different issue.  I can't Edit my own profile either.

so it yet me copy paste a table directly with no issues from old site.  awesome!!

then the colors are different though so it doesnt actually display yet lol

Editing forum colors was actually one of the first admin functions i gave up on this AM.  will need to take another look at how to get those successfully edited.

Is the Theme editable now that its attached?  Or is it all or nothing there?

This profile editing is interesting.  There are a lot of links that seem to be dead links/immediately go to 404.  Changing my profile pic, for example, I found a spot to do it in 3 different places.  The first two did not work.  The third one did.  

I've seen similar issues with a few mechanics. 

Example 2 Notifications - one notification spot always shows I have notifications, and those notifications are all either ones that should be marked as Read or ones that don't exist/ go to 404 when I click on it.  Ironically, the only one that seems to be working correctly (the "Bell" icon) is also the only one i've seen a way to disable lol

 

In general, the links in the upper righthand corner of the page seem to be the most consistently broken/unuseable

Here's what I put into the Custom CSS code to try to patch the table colors:

 

/* Style table headers */
th {
background-color: #eded93; /* background */
text-align: left; /* Left align text */
padding: 8px; /* Add some padding */
}

Looks like URL colors are also being dominated out the way the table borders appear to be

Links still work, but they look like plain text

It occurs to me

Were you discussing that it is a back end problem, not a color option, causing the tables to not show?

For w/e its worth, I posted a massive table earlier today.  Even though it has no borders, it retained integrity across a massive matrix With empty spaces in some blocks too

if you happen to come across the spot that controls the settings for booting out long logins, feel free to disable it or set it over a week.

i have yet to find it in my own ramblings so far

Step Two in trying to fix the new user registration issues.

I cannot anywhere find where its hardcoded what User Role new members are assigned.  That seems to go to "Editor" User Role.  So I changed the Usergroup of the "Editor".  From "Moderator" to "Customer".  Its a nerfed setting that shouldn't give "Editors" the ability to edit anything.

On a plus side, my change to our current users into User Role "Subscriber" Usergroup "Registered" seems to have worked, at least Eric was able to post since that change.

We do currently have the settings such that they Require an Admin to approve new users before they can even stay logged in.  I think i can find this setting again if we want to turn it off...  but for now leaving it on for security.  Mostly mentioned b/c I think this was one of the bigger question marks Yvaud was working at at another time, and i think the result of trying to fix that was what caused this weirdness with the logins being Mods to begin with.

Mostly at Yvaud but you know whomever got info to contribute i'm interested

background: i was amazed when this site got laid in how many spambots showed up and specifically did enough steps to register.  Hearing about how new website info gets published in places was informative.  

So here's something ?maybe adjacent to that?  Spam registered users is up like a bunch the past month or two.  Coincidance?  It seems unlikely to me that bot scrubbers would be able to increase their activity here based upon them themselves perceiving the increased traffic since robbie's campaign started.  but... maybe that data is published too; i do not know.
