I've noticed the disappearance of a lot of forum avatars, including mine.

I suspect this is the issue. 

The upgrade is now complete. Please report any new issues that arise.

Attempting to use SMF's built in upgrade did not work. I thus proceeded with the usual method of branch / merge wizardry. But it occurred to me - it makes more sense to keep a branch of vanilla SMF in the repo, to make it quicker next time around. So that's what the "smf-vanilla" branch on the repo is for.

At some point in the next hour or so, the forum will be temporarily unavailable while I upgrade to SMF 2.1.7.

This will only affect LemmingsForums.net; other sites on the server (such as NeoLemmix.com) will not be affected.

A bit of digging and I found the documentation and code by Herman Perk from 1994, see attached.
I haven't checked but maybe worth comparing to see if there are any insights that you discovered that are missing, or vice versa.

For reference, this is the source of the commentary I saved here: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7043.0

I made an update to the pack, following backroutes found by some players (especially Simon helped by IchoTolot in Simon's stream of LOTY 2025 today...). The intended solutions do not change.

The pack is in the first post, here is the changelog :

EON 1 Be Attitude For Save One : added more OWW to prevent hacking your way through a thin one with a basher.
EON 5 Four Shruggers : added a squasher at the bottom to prevent the bottom lemming from going in by himself with the 4 builders. Surprised no one found this earlier.

NEO 2 So Many Spikes : added yet more steel to prevent escaping one lemming from the bottom spikes
NEO 5 The 6'' Escape Plan : did not change, dont play this level.

ONE 4 Falling Steps : added a talisman which rewards tricky intended solution.

Thanks! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining throughout!

I've played the 2024 edition last year, and the 2025 edition this year, and it has been good fun every single time. As Flopsy has said: I should play more often than once per year. I'll try to do it!

June 5/7 replays

Notes for myself: Music was too loud on June 7. Microphone input was fine at −5 through −20 dBFS, i.e., −5 for excited speech, −10 for most speech, and −20 dBFS for mumbling. But music should then be around −40 dBFS, not −30 dBFS. And I should pay attention that NL gets video-captured every time after I close and reopen NL mid-stream.
