You might want to include all of it for the template tags to work. The most important filters are "List Authors in Genesis Post Info" and "Post Authors Post Link Shortcode". Make sure you use the Genesis ones and not the Thesis ones (I think they had Thesis examples in one of those snippets, so be careful).
Just paste them into your functions.php, and you should be fine.
You might also want to include this snippet:
add_filter( 'coauthors_guest_author_avatar_sizes', 'capx_avatar_sizes' ); function capx_avatar_sizes() { return array(); }
to prevent all your images from generating the tiny guest author feature image sizes on upload.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberWhich plugins have you tried? I'd guess that if you used one that had shortcodes, and added Brad's code above for adding shortcode functionality to widget areas, that should do the trick.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberYou can see a list of options here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
but the ones I use most are showinfo=0 (showing video title/info) and rel=0 (showing related videos after)
For your video, the code would look like this:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/i-Vie27Ly8o?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
or this:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/i-Vie27Ly8o?rel=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can also adjust the video dimensions when choosing the embed code, to one of YouTube's defaults, or a custom size to fit your sidebar.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberUsing only the URL of the video only works in posts and pages (and comments if you make an adjustment).
If you want to place a video in a text widget, your easiest way is to click on the "Share" button for the video, select "Embed" option, and paste that code in the widget. It'll look something like this:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/[video code here]" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Not sure when they started excluding the "http:" from their URLs, but they're YouTube, so they can do almost whatever they want.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberYeah, when did they merge WordPress.com and Gravatar? I have no interest in merging more of my info with WordPress.com bceause I'll never use WordPress.com.
That said, I was still able to login into Gravatar.com using my original Gravatar credentials, so they haven't completely co-opted a perfectly reasonable standalone system (yet).
But if you don't want to go that route, there's a plugin called Simple Local Avatars that I use on several sites for contributors who don't want the hassle of signing up with Gravatar.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberI did something similar with Slice of SciFi... it's not quite as large a header as you have, but the header widget is using the 728x90 leaderboard ad. In fact, it's also using Dynamic Widgets to use different ads on different pages/categories.
I changed my header logo space to be 350x90, and changed my header widget-area to this:
#header .widget-area { width: 67.592592592%; height: 100%; }
and title area to this:
#title-area { width: 32.407407407%; }
I think I had to do some fudging with min-height somewhere to get both areas to line up, but that's the gist of it.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberYour best bet might be to ask the PHPbb forums how to include the CSS design from your Magazine theme in theme you're using for your forum. That's where you'd need to make your changes to get phpbb to look like your Genesis child theme, and I'd guess they'd be manual changes, not something you could just link to in the child theme.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberActually, in this case you should.
PHP 5.2 was end-of-life in January 2011, is no longer supported or maintained by PHP, and could very well be a security risk at this point.
The very least you should be running is PHP 5.3. If your ISP isn't running at least PHP 5.3 yet or not planning to upgrade soon, run away to another host.
That said, I have about 35 sites running Genesis using PHP 5.3 and 5.4, with no problems, and definitely not seeing this error, so maybe it's something local to your server?
I have an entirely different set of reasons why you should punt on Piwik, but that's not a discussion for this forum 🙂

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberWait... on your other posts, the author is missing entirely. There must be something in functions that's doing that, or an aggressive configuration of Simple Edits?
WordPress / Genesis Site Design & Troubleshooting: A Touch of Summer | @SummerWebDesign
Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberIf the plugin is enabled, you're using it... there's no other on/off switch for it 🙂
It looks like the authors are being added before the actual post-info section, but even with customizing that I don't see why the author info would be put outside the post-info section. Did you do any other customizations?
WordPress / Genesis Site Design & Troubleshooting: A Touch of Summer | @SummerWebDesign
Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberIf you go to Appearance > Header, do you see the option to upload a custom header image?
That's what I did for Slice of SciFi, sae for changing the image size in functions.php

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberFWIW, Yoast has made some changes to his SEO plugin that made it cause every site I had it on to run significantly slower. After testing out performances on those sites over the course of two weeks, I gave up, removed Yoast and went back to the default Genesis SEO settings. Speed & performance issues resolved.
So over the past 8-10 months or so, I've stopped using Yoast SEO entirely.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberLemon, glad I could help!

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberNile, could you explain "cracking down on guest authors"? What does that even mean? That people can't have regular contributors on their websites without giving them accounts?
How can Google "crack down" on who website owners and content providers choose to help them create content for their readers? That doesn't even make sense.
For example, I manage several entertainment news websites for various niches, scifi, comics, horror, and we have contributors who write up original content for us (movie, dvd, book and comics reviews, columns, etc). They either don't know WordPress or are professional (or aspiring professional) writers who just want to write about scifi without having to worry about all the technical stuff that goes along with creating content for websites.
That's why I started using Co-Authors Plus, and customized Genesis Co-Authors Plus to work the way I needed it to, and with those two, I'm able to give those contributors an author box, and not have to worry about having author boxes pop up for the regulars who are just posting news.
So what exactly is Google cracking down on, and why don't they do something useful instead, like cracking down on all the URLs that appear in comment spam by erasing them from their records if that URL shows up on 1000 websites a week.
WordPress / Genesis Site Design & Troubleshooting: A Touch of Summer | @SummerWebDesign
Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberCould you create an "after post" widget where you could put a Text field that contains what you want it to say, and not have author boxes enabled at all?
That would be one way to have the same message show up on all posts.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberAre you talking about not having the multiple authors appear on the byline, or the location of the byline?
If you mean having the multiple authors in the byline, see this thread for the solution that worked for me: http://www.studiopress.community/topic/multiple-authors/

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberAre you using Simple Edits, or do you have that information moved around in your theme functions?
WordPress / Genesis Site Design & Troubleshooting: A Touch of Summer | @SummerWebDesign
Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberDid you add all of the code to your functions.php, and use Simple Edits to change the post info display?
This is what you need: http://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/
I ran into the same problem when I first set those up, but not with multiple authors, just with a guest author showing up as the owner of the post instead of the post account author (the hazards of converting a lot of old content over to a new guest author method).
I also had to modify Genesis Co-Authors Plus to only display author boxes on Guest Authors, not on every single post by every single author ever on the site.

Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberThe image isn't the problem, it's your pasting that's the problem.
Does the same thing happen if you type the link in manually, instead of pasting it? I have a feeling that you are either highlighting extra characters to copy, or maybe there's some cruft in your clipboard that's being added?
I've seen it happen before, during a site move. The version of mysql and phpMyAdmin were different on the new system, and for some reason, the titles and permalinks for a lot of older posts had a lot of those hex character codes in them, plus some other alternate representations of curly quotes. The hex characters looked like they weren't there, but when the character encoding changed, suddenly all these titles had extra stuff in them. Turns out one of the guys had been pasting copy into the WP editor from Word. What a mess.
The link in my previous message was pasted in, so it's not a browser thing, it's definitely you pasting alien creatures 🙂
WordPress / Genesis Site Design & Troubleshooting: A Touch of Summer | @SummerWebDesign
Slice of SciFi | Writers, After DarkSummerMemberThose are hexadecimal character codes. Ever noticed how if you try to copy a link from a Google search without visiting it, that it's full those crazy character codes, like
http%3A%2F%2F
instead ofhttp://
?Same encoding. See the list: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
Somehow, when you pasted that link, you also pasted those characters. Were you using the Visual editor, and maybe highlighted a little more space than you needed to when you pasted it in there?
If you switch to the HTML editor, you might be able to see the extra characters that are causing the problem and delete them, or delete and re-add the entire link itself.
