What's New (1.6.10): Another round of fixes, this time for the new MySQL 8 standard, as well as some niggling issues with PHP 8.2 that slipped through last time. A lot of files need to be updated, so I took the chance to fix some issues with user name and password handling, error reporting, admin functionality, and also corrected some datatype isses with the applets. As usual, there are no new features, but I'm serious about keeping the board working with modern servers.

If you're updating from 1.6.8 or older, bear in mind that some templates have been changed. If you have custom templates, make sure they do not get overwritten. Only minor changes have been made.

If you're updating from an older version than 1.6.8, it is recommended to completely remove the old “chickenpaint” folder before copying the new files to your server, as many files have been deleted from the app in the last few of versions. There are no updates for ChickenPaint if you already have 1.6.8 or newer.

As long as a decent HTML5 paint app is available, I'll continue to maintain Wacintaki. However, it's clear that a rewrite is not going to happen, as I have other things to do and the oekaki community (and personal web sites in general) are all but dead these days. Dang kids and their social media! 8)

Wacintaki Poteto is a CSS conversion of Oekaki Poteto 5.x. It is a complete Oekaki BBS that supports file uploads, both HTML5 and Java drawing apps, PMs, multiple languages, and uses minimal amounts of bandwidth.

This version is not supported by Theo Chakkapark or anyone else involved with the original Oekaki Poteto project. For technical support, please post issues with this version on the NineChime Forum.

What's New: As of January 2018, Wax Poteto is no longer supported, and is provided for historical or technical reasons only. It has known issues working with newer versions of PHP, and only supports file uploads. The Java applets do not work in modern web browsers. If you still run a Wax Poteto board, it's strongly recommended to upgrade to Wacintaki.

To update to Wacintaki, simply download the “Full install” version above, copy and overwrite the old Wax Poteto files, and then view the board to receive update instructions.

MBackup

Screenshot

New for 1.1.1: Updated to fix a connection problem with the 1.5.x database layer. Supports Wacintaki, Wax Poteto, PotatoPoteto, and the original OekakiPoteto.

MBackup is a script to back-up the member profiles on an OekakiPoteto or compatible oekaki board. It allows for several recovery options, and is intended as a quick, easy way to back-up your profiles, add members from other OP boards to a “master” board, or move an OP board to a new server.

It will only back-up the member profiles, not posts and comments. Use a database administration tool, like phpMyAdmin, to back-up an entire database.

OekakiBBS Import

Screenshot

New for 1.2.1: Updated to fix a connection problem with the 1.5.x database layer. Supports Wacintaki, Wax Poteto, and the original OekakiPoteto.

OekakiBBS Import will convert an OekakiBBS v1.32 board to an OekakiPoteto, Wax Poteto, or Wacintaki BBS. Versions of OekakiBBS older than v1.32 have not been tested.
