There may be some short temporary outages as a result but the risk doesn't merit taking the entire forum offline. I intend to be done by 6AM GMT

well apparently codebox plus is no longer supported so this is going to take more work than expected

For me the codebox doesn't work at all anymore!
Can you please re-check it?

Maybe we should try this extension? It uses highlight.js

To be honest I don't get why all these problems had to appear.
Everything started after the forum update.
Can't you just set it back to date X where everything used to work?
Is the new "upgrade" really mandatory?
This is such a great forum, but due to these issues, especially with the code boxes, it's currently not fun
I even resigned myself to using the black theme.
P.S: Don't take my post as offense.
Regards

Yes the update was necessary.
We were getting an increased influx in spam that easily passed our Recaptcha - a better captchawas not actively available for that version of the board.
The second problem was that the forum itself started to show signs of bugs.
An update has been delayed for a long time since many of our specially created plugins no longer work for this new php BB version.
And as such it has become an increasingly problematic change.

We need to keep up to date for security, compatibility, performance, etc.
Anyway, I think I found some fixes for codebox plus on phpbb v3.2.x

No time for me to focus on this now, but I don't know what tank did. Codebox plus is removed, but yet appears to be installed according to the ACP...

You mean my suggested fix? I'll to get to it Thu or Fri afternoon. If not, definitely the weekend.
Or did you mean trying out the Highlight.js extension?
