And to you all!

May the Fourth be with you.

I won't be adding any plugins like that, because frankly, it's going overboard. For the same reason I won't be requiring changing the password every 90 days etc.
avatar
The plugin migrates the passwords on relogin, but at the same time, all old hashes were also migrated. So depending on when you logged in to the forum, it will be either new_hash(your password), or new_hash(old_hash(your_password)). Either way, much more secure
avatar
Will people need to change their password to take advantage of that, or does it create a newly salted hash on a new login? If possible you should add an extension to check the passwords against a breached password database on registration, password change, and login (e.g. HaveIBeenPwned) as well.
avatar
I just logged out and in again, all seems fine.
avatar
I have installed a plugin for better password hashing (better security) on the forum. The change should be completely transparent to users, but if you experience any errors with the forum - including, but not limited to, logging in and registering, please e-mail me at admin@fanrestore.com

Can anyone show me how to fix an aliased video source?

RIP Gilbert Gottfried

Yup, ahah

It really was as simple as that, lol

I can get you the french track from the R1 DVD, assuming the copy at my library isn't scratched to shit
avatar
Sorry alleycat, I've never owned that film
avatar
Don't suppose anyone has any non English language tracks for the Theatrical Cut of Troy? There are French and German tracks on certain DVDs for sure.

Fede Alvarez posted the original ending to Evil Dead (2013) which mirrors the original: https://twitter.com/fedalvar/status/1511...gr%5Etweet

Nicely said HD, thanks. Hope we can get more projects from soon.
avatar
I've had a few things going on in my life since the start of this year so I've not been visiting here much since "the event." I tried to log in a few days ago and was worried that this wonderful site had disappeared. So relieved to find it back again today. And I can use the ShoutBox again! Huzzah! Hoping I'll be able to get back on top of some of my projects soon.
avatar
Glad to see things back up. Smile
avatar
Super glad to see the site back - I was worried it was gone for good.
avatar
Yay, I can use the Shoutbox again.
avatar
Nah, this place won't die. Smile Having a way to notify everyone, isn't a bad idea though.
avatar
Phew, thought the site was dead
avatar
Feallan is right, with discord or IRC most of the conversation would just move to a chat and kill the forum with its useful information. I'd settle for a system that allows admin or moderators to send email alerts in case something big happens and many members wouldn't know what's going on. I hear mailchimp and similar services can be useful and are free within limits that are compatible with the number of members here and the frequency of such events.
avatar
I'm not sure about Discord, I would rather not shift any discussion from the forum, since we have the shoutbox. Maybe some announcement only channel, but then it would require people to have an account there and bookmark it. I think I'll look into some mass mailing solution (can't use the forum feature, if forum is down)
avatar
Depending on the purpose discord is superior to irc... IRC is just a live text chat, while discord can be used for announcements, why not everyone has to catch right at the moment...
avatar
Thanks for everyone's patience, BTW
avatar
I'd prefer IRC over discord, but yeah having some kind of off-site comms could be very helpful if something bad happens
avatar
Quite a few on here have accounts on OT or the SW forums, but agree it may be best to have a backup way of contacting members. Glad that fanrestore is back!
avatar
I hear people use discord but I'm mentally too old for these things. I'll make myself a Fanrestore addressbook ;D
avatar
It's not going to for the foreseeable future, but even in that case something would definitely be set up, at the very least a way to exchange e-mails between members. But yeah, doing it yourself wouldn't hurt too Smile
avatar
No problem, glad everything is back. Which reminds me that I probably wouldn't know how to keep in touch with 99% of you if the forum disappeared Sad
avatar
Also, they restored an earlier backup of the DB, I had to do it again with the correct one, so a couple shouts and a 1-post thread about a shoutbox issue (it should be fixed now, Hitcher) are missing. Sorry guys, and thanks to Evit for noticing something was wrong
avatar
Okay, everything should be up and running. My hosting provider had some sort of a malfunction on Friday evening, and strangely, even though the helpdesk should work 24/7, they were only able to fix it on Monday morning... Please let me know if anything is missing/not working on the forum

Aphasia is a nasty thing
avatar
It does seem he's in a bad way unfortunately, very sad to hear
avatar
Seem Bruce Willis is retiring for serious medical reasons. The rumors of him doing all those crap films to provide for his family seem to be true.
avatar
Thanks
avatar
Thanks
avatar
Not 100% the same, and Moshrom covers the slight differences in his post
avatar
Is the AC3 Mono the exact same track on the Blu/UHD/DVD?
avatar
Thanks for the info nirbateman.
avatar
GF1 has some analog noise and low volume, while GF2 is pretty clean and clear with low volume, a pretty easy fix, so no LD syncing is necessary IMO, both films' LD come from the same dupey master, and much detail isn't there at all, probably due to NR (They are pretty clean sounding)
avatar
Unsure about Godfather II...
avatar
Moshrom has a new post on Blah Ray about The Godfather audio. Seems the LDs are unimpressive.
avatar
They're not in sync, the new Paramount logo is gone, and so are the restoration credits. I do however find that the Bluray mono sounds better than the LD, less dupey, even after doing some cleanup work, which Paramount didn't seem to do
avatar
Are the UHD Godfather in sync with the old Blu-ray discs? Cos I wanna know if we must resync or not the LD rips.
avatar
Don't suppose anyone has the Region 1 DVD of Executive Decision they could rip? The uncut version?
avatar
More like colour fixes, been saying since harris touched it that it was wrong

RIP Doug Trumbull

You need to force refresh by using Ctrl + F5
avatar
I can confirm its there
avatar
*not
avatar
I am mot even seeing the updated logo, neither on my phone nor desktop. I tried changing the theme and it's still the old one
avatar
#2 was also the best to me greater but now that this one is in place I start to really like it
avatar
Yeah I only found out about ot when it was already over. Would be nice if the few people's vote that commented afterwards (me included) would had been considered as well. As in that case #2 would had won instead of #7
avatar
New logo looks great!
avatar
I think there wasn't enough time to vote, less than a week only while I'm sure most of us simply just don't have the free time to check every day...
avatar
That is a sad ratio to be honest, it is just a click...
avatar
Wow, really! How many active users do we normally get over a week?
avatar
Over 3000 members and only 35 votes, all it takes is one click or tap and your done. https://fanrestore.com/thread-4634.html
avatar
Crazy how that article spins it as a positive. Is there anyone not in China's pocket nowadays?
avatar
Read about that. Weird what they do to films shown in China.

In regard of Fight Club (warning: Spoiler may occur for the ones that didn't seen it, yet): https://variety.com/2022/film/asia/fight...235162643/

Hey guys, don't forget to vote for Fanrestore's new logo! https://fanrestore.com/thread-4634.html Voting ends the 28th

Time to rewatch Fight Club.

Someone else will have to speak to them on my behalf.

I can't, it says making an account is not possible.

@FrankT: Get yourself into the MySpleen forums (myspleen.org/forums) and send an email to the moderators--Eftydub or splunk--to find out what's up.

I've been locked out of MySpleen! What do I do!?

I saw Raiders of the lost ark in concert, great experience. Would love to see Aliens.
avatar
Cool? More like Scary!!
avatar
That’s aliens concert is pretty cool.
avatar
BTW: Here's a bit from 'Aliens - Live' from Moscow: https://youtu.be/zOJR4QK1P4s Still haven't played in the USA or Canada.
avatar
Only two weeks for the 'Superman - In Concert' world premiere in Switzerland. If that 'Citi Light' orchestra can bang it out this month without cancelling again, other orchestras around the world can start booking that concert.
