How about a link to BR dictionary as bread crumps /link on the top somewhere?

The link for the following News item points to the wrong article.

27 Jun "Navy Indian Navy's helicopter catches fire at airport, no one hurt (Deccan Chronicle)"

Question; What happened to my old comrade Enqyoob? Or is he still here, prowling around under an assumed name?

^^He stopped posting here after disagreements with other admins and members.

Same happened with Arun_S I sometimes used to read his post, they were excellent and well informed. I miss a lot of "previous generation" brfites, the new ones seem to be more pro western and tend to see most of the things from a western (particularly american) perspective.It's also understandable given that many of them are NRI's living in amreeka.

Seems a Lapse on BRF. Illegal Bangladeshis have even not spared BRF.


Link

what lapse?
we have had many Bangladeshi members. Even pakis were allowed until they showed pakiness. We have Chinese and members of other nationalities as well. That gentleman purports that he somehow infiltrated us and found some opinions that we all have in common. LOL.
sure we have had posters who have had opinions that are extremist, but they have been either corrected or made to leave. Some still squirm over their lost freedom of speech.
That any one should propose that the thousands of us have the same view is laughable.
There is no need to post such links.

Gurus,
Could anyone tell me how to upload photographs?
Regards.

Does the forum software not have a feature whereby certain keywords are automatically replaced with some other characters? For ex, for any URL having a .pk TLD, the TLD portion be replaced with 1-2 asterisks

Similary, certain domain names with known pakistani affiliations could have any one of its characters replaced with an asterisk

People aren't paying heed to repeated advise of not giving traction to pakistani sites from here.

@RajD
You need to upload photographs on external image hosting sites & share the links here

Some examples

Is BRF on Facebook?

Did you try searching? here

Any support intended for Tapatalk app ??
Registration of any forum with tapatalk is free.

I wanted to check how it works and got registered there as a forum admin .






Basically a Tapatalk zip (~600KB) corresponding to the forum software (phpbb) has to be downloaded and extracted at the forum root and all the installed templates have to be modified in their header by adding the tag and thats it!!


Many of us browse BRF through smartphones and brf getting registered at Tapatalk will be like a godsend.
Can some enterprising admin/mod take the lead and get their hands dirty in this endeavour ?

For some reason, I get logged out of the forum automatically within a few minutes. Any changes that I'm not aware of ?

BRAdmins,
I see that like the previous requests for Tapatalk support made by other members(Tanaji,jiteshn,Purush,Nandu) the current one is being given the silent treatment .

I understand that BR forum software has been frozen for more than a decade or so, not upgrading to the subsequent phpbb versions - and iam sure there is a good reason for it considering the cyber security threats which are inherent to running a nationalist indian board.

It may be well and fine adhering to the adage (its just an adage mind joo) "if it's not broke, don't fix it",but in this case providing support for tapatalk is hardly going to affect the security measures in place - though iam open for correction.

Is there any sekurity or monetization (of Adrevenues) or search engine indexing issue with supporting Tapatalk ?
Whatever may be the case, please to give a clear response hopefully with some reason (even if its conveyed in a cryptic/terse form), so that mujahids like me wont be again and again making requests on this issue - and can simply use search to know your position on Tapatalk support.

I had posted something in PRC Thread, but the post disappeared.

Jamwalji , you posted it into the UQ thread.

Thank you. Don't know how I managed that :-s

Lilo,

I wish i had a straight answer (Yes we will do it.. / No we will not) but unfortunately i dont. any forum tweak etc is just on a wish list of things to have, but are not finding time to do it . before the phpbb mods, there are a ton of joomla and gallery feature upgrades that we wish to do.. a major concern for us all the time is not to break anything in the name of new upgrades thus we tend to be conservative in our approach.



actually not.. the phpbb interface may look years old, but we always upgrade to the latest patch to keep things stable and secure. So we are on the latest and greatest. However we havent spent time implementing features that dont come out of the box for PHPBB.. so applying 'mods' and thirdparty enhancements etc have taken a backseat.

Thanks for the updates Jaganji, Archan ji.
I can only pray for more power to those who are working to get us there.

I wish to start a thread focused on Kashmiri Pandits - A collection of articles, blogs of/on Pandits. If mods agree, I will start the thread.

A thread for "History of Kashmir" might also be a good idea but would like to keep the Pandits thread separate.

partha, go ahead. GDF for start.

Thanks Rahulji. Will start the thread.

Admins,

Sh*t just got real. GoI has blocked many "anti establishment" FB pages and Twitter handles in the name of national security. Shall we have a thread on internet censorship by the government?

Does the BRForum software allow users to re-post comments to Twitter (mainly) and FaceBook?

This is badly needed

I am unable to send private messages. I searched in the FAQ and it said that it is because either it has been disabled for the entire board, or it has been disabled solely for me as a user.

I wonder whats happening? How do I PM someone?

You cant PM in this forum, it is available only to mods.

I want to start an alternative governance structure thread. Looking at our own ancient history, I'm curious about how governments were structured and what kind of responsibilities they were tasked with.

What did our "national security" setup look like and was weapons manufacturing and research a private and/or state driven enterprise? I also want to explore the idea of duties and how it compares with rights theory which forms the bases of western forms of governance.

Do we have a basic unifying governance model that we could challenge the Chinese, Islamic, and Western worlds with?

Mod's, may I start the thread?

Sure. In GDF.

mods, please change my user name from viv to vivitsu. thanks.

Mods please change my user name from "Manish_Sharma" to "Dhananjay" !

Gentlemen

Your "Top Stories" section on the front page for the last few months is staying out of date or is unattended. This is an important part of the BR and always visible first to a visitor. If it has old or stale content, it does not give a good impression of this website. BR is an important website and it should be kept fresh; so that more and more vistors visit this site for quick update on defence stories.

Thanks

This is middle of Sep and it already has 23 entries. In August it had 71 entries. In July it had 299 entries. So, I don't know what do you mean by unattended or out of date ?

I saw defense related news frequently updated in that section. In some months there were more in some less. But unattended is wrong word to be used.

23 Entries in 15 days of September ( Sep 14 - one, Sep 12 - three, Sep 10 - one, Sep 9 - two) is insufficient entries when you posted 299 entries in July. Latter is the right sort of activity.

I was making an enquiry whether in August- September time frame, BR posting of Top Stories is reduced deliberately or defence activity takes a breather.

You do not have to be reactive to a polite enquiry. Unattended and stale are the right words for 23 entries in 15 days; when previous months posting has been very good.

Let me re quote.



From few months you came down to one month which is current month and we are just half way of it.

I am not moderator or webmaster so, it is not appropriate from my side to reply you on web page of the site. I was just making the point which I am stating again that I saw defense related news frequently updated in that section. In some months there were more in some less.

The forum is loading very slow and too many sql errors happening.

So many sql errors today.. Is everything alright?

is there any way for a member for ex: member A to know if member A is on friend/foe list of other members?????

^ Onlee way is to abuse the other member in colourful language if he replies that means you were not on his foe list, until that time.

Can we get a more tight moderation to prevent off topic discussions and discussions that are repeated after every 5 pages? It's getting very annoying now. Also, would it be okay if I post blogs, articles written by people who are doing their personal research ofcourse with a link?
