Feature Request
#5 posted by SleepwalkR [217.230.189.198] on 2003/01/12 05:49:41
I'd prefer to be taken back to the forum page after submitting a post, with the thread I just posted in marked as read (see http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/foru... Maybe make that a per-user option?
Well...

what if you want to reply to more than one thing / post more than one thing in a thread? I know i've done that sometimes on the old qmap. I do remember that qmap had little radio buttons for "come back here" and "return to the forum." Maybe i will make it a user preference on the account page.

sadly, i can't get into the forum there. on the main page i get errors, and it says i must be new to the board or my account was deleted. So i click on "recreate my cookie" but that doesn't work -- after submitting my email i get more errors.
Oops

just to say if in the html layout, you could include some of the basic code for links and mailto like in old qmap.
i know its basic but sometimes i get a link wrong just because i miss a space in the line
Valid Code: bold italic quote

a feature to block double posts (so we save the self-embarassment after doing it by mistake). if it's rocket science then leave it. if it's easy enough to monitor whether the words are all the same then i hope it might be useful. dont pay me royalties. i already got 6 ferraris and 10 bugattis (i whish...)

It would be easyer to spot any new posts if it showed in an other colour than white.
And also, when logging in I have to: log in, change page go back and log in again to get it to work. (no biggie but so you know)

if you're logged in, the board keeps track of what posts you've seen. Then, when you come back later, there is a "new" link next to each thread, and if you click on that link, it will take you to a page containing just those posts that you haven't seen.
Hmm

#41 posted by . [172.153.146.184] on 2003/03/13 15:34:03
say a thread, instead of being one long page, could be broken into extra pages instead of a somewhat lengthy wait for the entire page to load. I'm merely wondering moreso on the forum's benefit as a whole - it will get to a point where there will be so many posts and threads that viewing any particular thread will take awhile - when it could be archived for quicker retrieval and wouldn't bloat the particular thread it's relative to...
But...

#45 posted by Wazat [144.38.206.27] on 2003/03/14 12:51:32
The last 25 posts thing is handy, but the General Abuse thread can get quite lengthy, and it can be a trick to go back more than 25 posts. You can, however, do this:
Visit the 25 last posts in the thread, and get the url at the top of your browser (or copy shortcut). Then edit the start=# part to a lower number, where you're guessing the intended post is.
Ah
#46 posted by metlslime [207.111.214.194] on 2003/03/14 23:10:41
i know what you mean now. I plan to support "paging" through posts at some point, so you can have links like "next 25" "previous 25" or whatever. Sort of the way search engine results are listed. No idea when this will happen, though.

I realize the URL's are on their profile (if they have one) but I think it'd be convenient to also have it below their name on their posts maybe? As a text link or just a simple icon next to the name..
Hmm

I am not active here anymore because of a few people that ruin the whole reason why some of us come to #terrafusion - I realize func and #terra are not tied in, but I decided to just stop altogether. The fact that I could not redesign icons, is *not* the reason why I'm not active here. That was merely a suggestion, and I completely understand/accept metl's answer of 'no'.

when my webhost upgraded their servers they must have changed certain PHP settings which affect how apostrophes are handled when inserting strings into a database. I will try to get the issue resolved, but in the meantime, everybody just leave apostrophes out of their posts -- Strunk and White would approve.

Func_Msgboard "Eating" Posts
#92 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.232.28] on 2003/04/22 17:14:55
People seem to be saying that Func_Msgboard is "eating" posts. I haven't experienced any eating, but it does give a DNS error when you use an apostrophe. If that happens, just use the "back" button on your browser and then remove the apostrophes!
Yep
#93 posted by underworldfan [172.199.120.116] on 2003/04/22 18:11:03

Yes, It Does Have To Do With Long Posts
#95 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.232.28] on 2003/04/22 18:43:23
Longer posts mean that it's more likely that you're going to use apostrophes.

Use BACKSLASH then APOSTROPHE with no spaces.
Escape Your Apostrophe
#105 posted by pushplay [24.86.74.102] on 2003/04/23 18:24:33
Apostrophe: \'
Backslash: \\
Ah
#106 posted by Wazat [144.38.206.24] on 2003/04/23 18:41:06
Try a backslash before each apostrophy.
The reason the "messageboard eating posts" thing is such a problem is related to the apostrophy, yes. The killer comes when you push back and the text box is empty...
Ah, Yes

notepad is a sensible thing to do

notepad also allows you to search for all apostrophes and replace them with `

the `eating` is strange...
usually, when i press the back button, the text is still in the textbox, but sometimes, (seemingly at random?) the text is gone -- eaten.

When you go into a thread, have link to show all messages in a thread. I usually go into a thread by clicking on the new messages wotsit, but once I'm in there, I read posts and wonder what fecking context they are in so want to see the whole thread... that make any sense?

Can't log in from opera. (posting from IE atm. I feel... amputated.)
I thought I remembered that there were some other people having the same problem, but after searching through here only mention of 'opera' is Paul making a gool out of himself.
I dunno, anyone know anything about this?
Scary thing is that opera worked just fine with this until yesterday or something, but now it just won't get the cookie or whatever it's supposed to do. (yes, I have checked cookie settings etc, they're all set to accept and yadda yadda yadda, now I've got a sore nose...)

Few Problems With Loading Site
#199 posted by Wazat [144.38.206.110] on 2003/10/01 13:45:02
Recently Inside3D and a few other telefragged-hosted sites have fallen prey to telefragged's neurotic compulsion to shuffle stuff around as frequently as it can affort to pay its staff to. The posting wasn't working at I3d and there were problems with loading the site at all early on.
Recently func_msgboard has been failing to load once and then will load fine on a second try, and other sites (fileplanet for one) have also shown similar problems. I don't know if those sites are actually all linked to telefragged in anyway; but if they are, they may be facing similar problems.
So metl, just wanted to let you know, in a roundabout sort of way, that there have been a few blips here as well, but it's nothing permanent. Hopefully this site won't have any real trouble.

I've modified the account page so that, if you're logged in, the password fields will be blank. If you want to edit other info but leave your password unchanged, then leave the fields blank and your password won't change. If you want to change your password, then type the new password in both fields. I tested it a little and it seems to work. Let me know if anyone has problems.

3. Clicking links is fine.
3. (err, just following the established syntax) You already have quotes.fov120.com.
4. PlanetQuake is fine on their own, but replacing FilePlanet is a good idea.

Number 4, which I meant to be number 5, was mere sarcasm. I wasn't so sure about polls either, but maybe it could be useful. As far as screenshot thumbnails.. I think it's nice to get a preview of what we're about to look at.. instead of potentially wasting time with (potentially) big screenshots that (potentially) suck...
But oh well, they were just suggestions and not wishes. Except for 1.

Polls are worthless and counter-productive of the 'discussion' nature of our site. If someone has something to say about the topic, they can come out and say it and express their feelings rather than choose a generic option.
Autothumbnailed screenshots is a waste of the site's bandwidth, user's bandwidth, and will also add unneeded complexity to the site's code. Wouldn't tons of thumbnails in that thread waste more of your (and everyone else's) time than clicking on a few 'shit' screens? Let's just stick with links, mmkay? But on that note, I do wish we could have proper link codes to do [a http://www.doodie.com] link to doodie! [/a] instead of just posting urls.
RPG and you're own suggestion answered point 3. Why do another archive when one already exists?
If you want to replace Planetquake/Fileplanet, I suggest you pony up the money and the time to do it yourself.

Actually, php makes auto-thumbnailing images really easy.

my suggestion would be to have links open in a new window - I get a bit miffed when I'm linked to some interesting site, like a photo archive, and I eventually surf so far that I have to reopen one or other of the sites in a new window myself. I also agree with Scampie about the link code.
Everything else is quite spiffy metl, in a func_tional sort of way.

I honestly don't feel a need for map listings. Most maps will probably get listed and never released, and if you're that keen on keeping people aware of what you're doing then you can update your website on a regular basis or post a message in General Abuse (or both).
Having a database for map downloads would be cool in the short term; in the long term, most of the links will be broken. Had Func_Msgboard been built for it, there could have been a classification system for news items (map releases, tools, reviews, etc) in which case that could have been a nice archive.

I'm trying to archive the contents of Func_ with a web spider and most of it works well. However, it can't seem to parse the view_all_threads and view_all_news pages.
There seem to be some difference between all the other threads and these two. My suspicion is that these seem to be read with the extension .php instead of .php.htm (which might be added by the spider).
Is this intentional or could something be done about it?

#251 posted by metlslime [66.135.131.83] on 2004/03/27 21:09:59
it's not intentional, and i can't think of why that would happen. Also, all pages on func are .php, so the spider might be adding .htm to the ones it successfully downloads.
Yes, That Is
#252 posted by aguirRe [62.127.44.11] on 2004/03/28 07:28:07
most likely true. I've tried three different spiders and all seem to have problems with those pages. In one spider I got an error message that indicated that there was insufficient memory to load one of those pages.
What could it be that requires extra local memory on those pages? I could believe if it was the "General abuse" thread that caused this error but that works fine in all spiders.
I *am* running Win95 but I seriously doubt that there's a problem with virtual memory. In that case it's one of the 64k resource heaps, but I doubt that too, I've got them monitored all the time.
Any ideas?

#255 posted by metlslime [66.135.131.83] on 2004/03/28 18:39:42
those pages probably contain more links than any other page. Maybe your spiders can't store that many links from a single page?
I Doubt That
#256 posted by aguirRe [62.127.45.137] on 2004/03/29 05:19:59
there are more links than e.g. "General Abuse" which has nearly one link per post (the user link), i.e. several thousands. Just parsing that page takes about 1/2 hour ...

tip. Similar to wget it also seems a bit more complex (and probably more powerful) to use than a standard WinGUI variant (of which there seems to be an abundance to select from).
I'd prefer something a bit more simple, I've used TelePort occasionally for a long time and I really like it but for some reason it won't work on those pages.
I'll have to leave it for now, my phone bill's going to skyrocket if I continue these experiments ...

Incorrect Count Of New Posts
#263 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.230.101] on 2004/04/13 14:42:35
I logged into Func this afternoon to see various new posts. The one at the bottom -- and hence the oldest -- was this one:
Painkiller - All 15, New 1
But when I clicked the link, there were indeed two new posts. I loaded the forum index and Painkiller thread less than a minute apart -- at approximately 14:30. The latest post was #16 (yes, 16; and the index still reports only 15 posts in the thread) at 13:55, so I know it wasn't added in the seconds between when I loaded the index and when I loaded the thread; and the Painkiller thread is still listed as fourth from the top.
Wow that was even more unintelligble than I thought. Summary: 1) the thread index didn't report all the new posts, and 2) the thread index displays in incorrect post count for the thread.
I've been suspecting something like this for a few days, but I haven't really had such obvious proof until now.

memory, it appears most in the permanent threads. I'm rather sure that I've missed posts in the Mapping Help thread and repetitive new posts in the Screenshots thread.
Sorry to be vague, I wasn't even sure it was actually happening again. I've also checked each time that I've been logged in properly.
A while (some months) ago, I sometimes wasn't logged in automatically and that was probably the cause of not getting new posts indications.

it looked like the postcount field for Mapping Help was at 1899 even though it had 1900 posts. I synced them up, so now it should work. However, i didn't see any other threads with mismatched postcount. So hopefully that was the only one.
I thought this was a one-time thing, but perhaps not. If you see this happen again, please tell me which thread. There may be an actual flaw in code somewhere, or i may need to do additional data cleaning to get everything back to normal.

If I press 'enter' on keyboard instead of pressing 'Submit' button I can post empty posts (post-posts=) without getting 'title/body should not be empty' message. See my previous post.

The dog immediately started lapping my nuts when I realized I was totally aroused and into it. So I decided to lick his nuts to return the favor. Needless to say, my girlfriend left me. Is she a total bitch or what?

This story was told to me by a friend who heard it on the news on the radio about a year or so ago. It is a factual account.
There was a girl and she was messageboard-sitting. Metlslime had gone out to a very big party and had left this messageboard at home with this sixteen-year-old girl. So she was messageboard-sitting and he phoned just to see if everything was all right. She said, "Oh, fine. Everything's great. The turkey's in the oven. Metlslime went, "Oh, okay, fine," and he hung up. Then he looked at himself and went, "The turkey's in the oven? We didn't have a turkey!" He said, "What's the matter?" So he decided he had better go home and see what was the matter. Maybe there was something wrong with the babysitter.
He excused himself from the party and went home. So he walked in the house and saw the baby-sitter sitting in the chair freaking out. She had put the little messageboard in the oven and had thought it was a turkey.
The Official Story:
#403 posted by metlslime [64.124.188.211] on 2004/09/21 20:24:00
Due to a massive underground explosion in Baltimore, MD (story in Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com/met... ), the datacenter lost power. The battery backup solution was immediately activated with the loss of power. Our secondary power feed, which comes directly from the city grid, was initialized. After the emergency power cutover, the city ordered the immediate shutdown of the power grid. This grid spans for 26 city blocks and disabled our redundant power solution. We immediately went to our third solution and brought in our generator.
Because of concerns from the Baltimore Fire Marshall that there could be further repercussions of the explosion in the area, it was decided to bring the servers down and wait until we were 100% confident in the power supply before bringing them back up.

That would require a lot more moderating, and could get very tedious. I think its safer just to let a mod close a thread that really doesn't belong. But, I've never moderated, so I can't really know what it's like.

You should start by only allowing registered users to post new threads - that would cut out most of the bullshit anyway.

actually, if i had thought of that, i would have suggested allowing only reg'd users to post as well. so, there's a vote for that then.
ditto on the reset button.

so voila! Other stuff may come later. But I wouldn't mind more opinions on that other stuff.
One thing i'm worried about with the registered user thing is that i don't want people registering bogus accounts just to post one stupid thread... that would just result in yet another table (the user table) containing garbage data.
Hmm, unless i made it so that you needed to wait some time (two weeks? a month?) after joining before you could create threads. Most random jerks passing through wouldn't care enough to wait around. Anyway, discuss please.
Well

moderator approval is cool, but with that we'd need a specific bit in the faq or at the top of 'create new thread' that explains the purpose of threads and what guidelines mods will use for deciding yay or nay.
I watch the site religeously, so threads wouldn't normally wait TOO long for approval.
...
#416 posted by necros [66.185.84.80] on 2004/10/06 08:53:04
well, yes, banning dudes is work, but a forum comes with a bit of work, that's a given...
i think the waiting time after registering is a good idea, but too long a delay will probably stop good people from registering as well. maybe like 24 or 48 hours, 2 weeks is excessive. you'd register then forget about this place. :P
#417 posted by Scampie [216.220.241.97] on 2004/10/06 11:26:13
banning and such should be handled completely by metlslime and done by an ip ban for any real abusers of the forum, not of whom we've seen here before.
delayed thread creation after registering doesn't help much when registered users make bad threads (see both food threads as a good example).
Yes

the two week delay would only be for threads, not posts. And I still think anonymous posting is worth keeping.
Re: deleting accounts -- this creates orphaned threads/posts which is a data integrity problem. But more importantly, it encourages people to just register another account. Banning by IP is better.
IP Bans Then.

IP bans for actual rogue abusers would be a metlslime thing and really aren't something that needs to be 'implented' as a simple script for blocking IPs to the /board/ directory of celephias.net is easily dropped into place.
I like the idea of approved threads best, so all things could be regulated let that, while still allowing everyone to make a new thread. With this, I'd also hope for the funtionality to create new threads from any old post, so that if one mod decides a thread isn't good but everyone disagrees, you could easily 'upgrade it'. And things like the food thread won't happen where the idea for the thread is an idea by many, and we end up with multiples.
Things Should Be Regulated Automatically

But I understand that your time is limited due to your pursuit of glasses-wearing Asian babes, so I would settle just for requiring a timelimit of 24 hours before allowing a new user to post threads.
I'm betting that most people who want to make a useful new thread have probably been visiting the forum for a while, and thus would not mind waiting 24 hours to start a thread. They'll be coming back to check on the forum anyway, so waiting a day will not cause them to forget about the topic.

Approving Threads
#429 posted by Jago [81.197.201.94] on 2004/10/06 20:13:58
I think it would be a good idea to make "unupproved threads" visible to the general public in some separate, but easily visible link on the menu. After the thread gets a number (say 5) of approvements from forum posters, it gets added to the main thread list.
#430 posted by Scampie [66.231.198.188] on 2004/10/06 21:01:05
you mean, once the poster creates 5 dummie accounts and approves his own thread. or a coder posting his new mod project pimp finds 5 friends to come vote. or 5 of our own anarchist idiots vote yes.
i don't like the idea, but the idea of unapproved threads being visible to all sounds good to me.
Unapproved Threads
#431 posted by pushplay [68.148.157.110] on 2004/10/06 22:29:46
But I'm going to visit all those anyways and I bet most people would. That's just unecessary clicks for me and unecessary work for mods.
#432 posted by Scampie [66.231.198.188] on 2004/10/06 22:39:22
the point being that the unapproved threads wouldn't have posts allowed, and we'd be able to rid the shit threads easily.

so, what you're saying is we should become further enthralled in our cause to drive away newbies by enforcing the old boy's club?
Wait. What've you been smoking?
If someone wants to post a meaningful thread, they're already part of the club. There is effectively no waiting period because they've already joined.
Furthermore, I would argue that having a thread-approval system would further increase strife and the supposed old boys club. We get into the position of you (meaning scampie) disapproving a thread, and spouting off harshly at the creator. This creates division. This would be especially true about threads that are in the gray area of worth.
Furthermore, this also puts forth the opportunity for power abuse, which you have already shown us that you (scampie) are capable of and even relish in.
This is why I dislike the concept of approving threads.
#437 posted by Scampie [66.231.198.188] on 2004/10/07 18:44:50
power abuse
which is why I suggested the system of checks and balence of everyone being able to see unapproved threads, and the ability to make any post, which would include rejected threads, into a thread so any strong disagreement could be fixed.
I hate the idea of forcing everyone to reg a free account, and wait any period of time, just to post. We have plenty of regulars who don't even have accounts, or don't like to log into them. The board should remain open, I'd just like to see moderation play a larger part in making things work smoothly.
And Along With Moderation...
#438 posted by Scampie [66.231.198.188] on 2004/10/07 18:47:52

maybe have no approval of new threads, but give power to remove threads to the mods, maybe if a thread has not been deleted after 24 hours if cannot be deleted. This would let mods & the users decide a threads fate relatively quickly.
#443 posted by Scampie [66.231.198.188] on 2004/10/08 21:00:16
deletion is bad, and if people start talking on the thread, it's not easy to move it without losing the posts.

It was idle speculation because I was at work. I just confirmed it now though. IE breaks post #458 where you intend, but firefox doesn't break it at all. I assume you're not useing the nobr tag.
necros: firefox and moz both use the gecko renderer, and are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that mozilla was a hogde podge of things that didn't belong together inherited from the Netscape project. Firefox is an attempt to set things right. I can't fathom why anyone would use IE though.

but how easy would it be for you to archive the GA thread (and other similarly huge threads) out of the database before we hit a critical meltdown such as on qmap and qboard?
not that I'm currently worried, I had just been looking back at earlier posts in the GA thread, remarking on how wonderfully bored I am here with no games or mapping or anything besides download the 6555 posts in general abuse as many differant ways as possible. (there are 6556 differant ways, I counted twice to be sure.)

While data loss is always a risk, i don't think we're really doing anything so unusual that standard database software can't handle it.

in opera, make sure "referer logging" is allowed. In Norton Internet Safety Blanket or whatever, make sure that "send referer" or "allow referer logging" or something is checked.

I can't load all the posts in the GA thread. Loading too many gives an Internal Server Error. start=59 will work (when the total posts equaled 6930) but start = 58 won't.
Granted, most previous posts are just babbelings about bugs and things when the site was new, but this could become more of an issue as the thread increasingly grows bigger.

metlslime, I've just figured out at least one reason that null posts are being formed. Somehow when I load a thread, sometimes there won't be an icon selected by default in the Post A Reply area. If I hit submit after typing a post but without rectifying the no-icon-selected problem, it increases the thread post count without adding a new post.
I tested this just now in the Stories thread, and that's what happened (it's post #31). I tried making a post before it (post #30) which resulted in a null post, but I don't remember whether an icon was selected or not.

#545 posted by pjw [66.188.96.141] on 2005/02/01 18:11:47
When you preview a post, and then hit "back" in your browser, the radio button for the icon goes away.
That's how I produced the blank post above.

#547 posted by metlslime [66.135.131.134] on 2005/02/02 00:55:15
But, on a side note, why would you hit "back" after previewing your post? The preview page has an edit box, and a preview and submit button. You can just keep going forward, never backwards (and always twirling towards freedom...)

Note: another thing i added is a block to prevent both title and body from being empty. So watch out!!!!
Update
#550 posted by metlslime [66.135.131.134] on 2005/02/02 03:57:22
I've now updated the javascript validation to be consistent with the server side validation. I also fixed the stupid flaw in my javascript that let you type just a space for body and title and submit. So hopefully, you'll never see a server-side error message.
And yes, i was screwing with the posting code for the last hour. Sorry shambler :)

New Features
#578 posted by metlslime [66.135.131.134] on 2005/02/04 05:05:39
If you look on your account page, you will see that there are two new features to play with.
First, you have the choice of whether you want your func homepage to be the news page or the forum page. This means when you come to www.celephais.net/board/ and you're already logged in, it will display the page of your choice. (Logged out people still see the news page.)
Second, you have three choices for how to display your email address on the user details page (that's the page you see when you click on someone's name in a post, or on the "people" page.) You can have it displayed as a clickable mailto link (as it is currently,) or you can have it displayed in munged format (joe -AT- blow -DOT- com,) or you can have it completely hidden.
I encourage all of you who have hand-munged emails in the database to update your account with your real address, and then choose "Munged" as your email display option. This way you can recieve an email when you forget your password.
#579 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.111.129] on 2005/02/04 05:34:27
melt, here's the explanation of how to do it:
title: that's simple - just type a few spaces.
body: I typed a few spaces (not sure if it is necessary), then I opened bold tag, typed more spaces and closed the bold tag.
Then I clicked the preview button to check if it worked and voila!
I hope that will help you.

I suggest banning them all, or, adding code to func_ that will ensure you're posting to the board, from func, not from a site dynamically mirroring func.

Hey, New Logo.
#614 posted by metlslime [66.135.131.101] on 2005/02/19 04:45:34
So I'm not 100% happy with it yet, but it's probably going to be this logo for a little while, until i figure out what i need to do to finish it.
My main complaint with it right now is that I don't like having two crates in the logo. So I plan to find a different brown background image.
I Like It
#615 posted by . [68.74.215.170] on 2005/02/19 04:52:19
It's more prominent, and just overall better. Maybe the crate could use a tex though. And maybe a little 'slogan' or something below func_ "Mapping community" or somesuch.
For BG image, maybe something that epitomizes mapping or is more obvious.
Hey Nice One
#616 posted by starbuck [82.33.89.24] on 2005/02/19 05:06:54
i like the title image too. I think the small crate would be better left unskinned. I agree that 2 crates in the image is too much, but I don't think any sort of mapping grid background picture would be very good, its so cliched. It might need a 'slogan' or something as Phait said; more precisely: something that describes the purpose of the board, as currently it's not immediately obvious to first-time visitors.
Visually, i think there needs to be some seperation between the "News / Forum / People.. thing and the main content of the title graphic. Maybe a black bar running along the bottom of the image, which the crate could overlap slightly. As it stands, where the menu bar and the graphic meets, it looks a little messy.
Just a few thoughts, I'm impressed with it though.
Heh
#617 posted by Scampie [68.190.114.142] on 2005/02/19 19:09:39
Crate there makes me wish the logo bit had a random icon put up there... just the cool ones... crate, cheese, pig, pimp hat, some of the game icons. would be alot of work I know, but it's a nice idea.

The Fallacy Of Your Argument
#624 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.254.248] on 2005/02/20 17:12:50
But not all the post icons are mere characters; some are emoticons, and emoticons are actually 2 characters at minimum. Since that is true, the message should be something more like "Title cannot be more than 70 characters, or 69 depending on which post icon you use."
Bluh

What's wrong with just scaling them up with width and height in the html, like on the front news page? It has a nice retro-gamey kind of style that suits this board well.

the cookie only remembers who you are. The database stores the highest numbered post each user has seen in each thread that user has visited. I assume that aquire hasn't viewed the book thread in a long time, and that it just got bumped so he now sees it in the "latest threads" list.
#662 posted by Scampie [24.180.188.166] on 2005/04/24 22:14:05
then there's something strange about how it stores the info metl, because it always seems that when a thread get bumps from the depths of the archives, there's a random, meaningless number of 'new' posts. I've never given it a second thought, just assumed 'whatever, it's an old thread the board likely doesn't bother saving which posts I've seen in those threads.'
#663 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.255.30] on 2005/04/25 10:26:14
it always seems that [there's a] meaningless number of 'new' posts.
I'm not sure how you define "always" but I think that's only happened to me once (at the most) out of all the bumped threads in the history of Func. I am very anal about reading all posts on the board, which would explain this "bug's" exceptionally rare occurance for me; and also explain why I'm not even certain it's happened at all. So I'm willing to bet (Tibet?) that you guys just forgot to read those threads; especially since they're usually the meaningless ones.
Another Explanation...
#664 posted by metlslime [209.213.199.133] on 2005/04/25 12:39:00
there's a flaw in the design of the forum page in that it only displays the ten latest threads, even if there are more than ten threads with new posts. So if you go away for a week, and 12 threads get posted to, when you come back you will only see 10 of the threads, and not realize there might be additional threads with new posts.
No, Metlslime!
#665 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.255.30] on 2005/04/25 13:35:36

ironically, that's the least helpful error you can get from Func. It happens when the function to display an error message causes another error :P
Anyway at the moment, func seems to finally be running fast again.

The issue mentioned above with General Abuse thread not being possible to get from the start, will that be solved? I have to start from >1000 to avoid a server error. Is it caused by your code or is it some webhost limitation?
Are the first 1-2k posts lost or are they just blocked from retrieval? Is it possible to request an interval?
Aguirre:
#714 posted by metlslime [67.180.175.229] on 2005/07/06 21:19:22
must be a webhost configuration thing -- there's probably a maximum SQL result size.
One of the major features i want to add to func is "paging" where you basically browse through a thread page by page -- like google results. In the meantime, i should probably add an "end=whatever" querystring variable, so you could specify a range. Either that or a "count=whatever" variable. There'd be no UI, but at least it would provide SOME sort of access.
Metl
#715 posted by . [68.78.217.4] on 2005/07/07 00:39:24
Pages would be more welcome sooner than a search function, actually.
BTW, if you're not already there, could I drop a func_ link banner in at ModDB's links list?
Unfortunately it seems some people there aren't aware of func_ -- someone said my work posted there was godly and I quickly refuted that point and showed them some releases here at func_ ;)

#716 posted by aguirRe [213.101.72.215] on 2005/07/07 03:00:04
Those features would be great, but as I also sometimes fetch entire threads for archiving purposes, I'd like to be able to get the whole thread in one package as well. Is it possible to ask the webhost to raise the SQL result limit?

I think the thread would not be closed, however it should not have been opened by "external func_ morron"... I just mean that it could be possible to allow only registered users, and also logged users, to post in, and create threads... It's a little bit harsh for extra users, but efficient against stupid people... We saw too much examples these last months :(
As well, creating account could be secured just providing a "real" email, that need to be checked automatically (i.e. you create your account, and you obtain in return a beautifull automatic mail reply stating that your account is now activated...) I don't know how long such a task need, but it is feasible for sure... I already saw that on othr website...

Or
#771 posted by Ankh [212.121.135.226] on 2006/01/17 01:05:05

#773 posted by czg [213.115.252.84] on 2006/01/17 14:09:14
Isn't it the RSS client's task of marking items in the feed as new?
The feed supplied by the site only needs to send out the last 25 posts, and the client will check it regularly and notify the user when there's new stuff.
Ah

There could be a link at the bottom/top of each thead to it's appropriate feed, something like
http:// www.celephais.net/ board/ thread_feed.php?id=2 and then return the proper xml for the thread.

#776 posted by Ankh [212.121.135.226] on 2006/01/18 01:14:17
With "new post" I was meaning new posts since last RSS update. But maybe I don't understand everything right. I don't know how rss is working. For me it would be enough if the rss feed would be automatically updated every 10 or 30 minutes with a message about new posts if threre were some. But i guess this needs something more than RSS.

I don't know the official pronunciation (it's taken from an H.P. Lovecraft book) but the way I pronounce it is "sell uh face."

I got Internal Server Error several times yesterday... Did the provider make any updates on the server ? I also experiment speed and latency huge changes ... What happened ? BTW It sounds to be solved this morning (it works perfectly) but yesterday it was a nightmare even to connect and login.... wait and see ...
Oh !!

To answer you metlslime: this morning it is rather fast... but how long will it work like this ? That's a good question ! We all experimented so big differences in latency and speed access these last ddays, regardless of access error, that I hope it will not change any more from now... as I said ... wait and see.. ;)

There is a difference between being logged in and logged out -- logged in people get a SQL query which includes their userid when visiting forum.php, while anonymous users get one that doesn't contain a userid. MySQL caches queries, so if you're not logged in, there's a good chance that your queries will have already been processed for someone who visited just before you, and so it can come out of the cache, which is a lot faster.
But this doesn't mean as much for the news page, the view_thread page, etc.
And Still
#812 posted by bambuz_unlogged [130.233.243.228] on 2006/02/22 02:02:48
it fucks up most of the time, even if you're on a computer with no cookies - thus unlogged. It won't load func, either you get a zero sized reply or timeout or process limit exceeded.

okay, i just banned my first IP on func.
If i delete the posts entirely, that would probably screw up the code that assumes the posts are sequential and stuff... i'm not sure exactly, but when i first wrote the DB i decided i didn't want to delete posts.
Now, what i will likely do is censor the posts so that you can't see them. The moderator tools to do that don't exist yet, though.

I seem to have gotten thread paging working in its most basic form. By default, links to a thread will show the first 25 posts (instead of all posts.) You can still see all posts by editing the "start" and "end" variables in the URL. If you post to a thread regardless of what page you are viewing, it will bump you forward to show the most recent 25 posts, with your post at the bottom.
- Number of posts per page will eventually be a user preference.
- I might eventually add "first 25" and "last 25" links as well.
- I'm not sure if this thread navigation needs to go both at the top and bottom of the post list or just one place, or what.
- I might need to change the wording of the links on the forum page.
CZG:
#859 posted by metlslime [71.202.21.157] on 2006/03/30 03:07:39
When there are less than 25 next or previous posts, it displays the number of actual next or previous posts. So there were only 5 next posts in that case.
The 50 was because I was playing around. 25 will be the default for now, while I work on getting a user preference for it.

Very good addition metl, first/last would be a nice addition yeah.

Hmm
#861 posted by aguirRe [213.101.73.90] on 2006/03/30 04:47:50
I'd prefer to keep the same "load entire thread" vs "last 25" as now and use the paging only for the latter. At least I'd like a separate link to get the entire thread.
Most threads are either relatively short ones (no problem loading entire thread) or very long ones (very few would probably want to page through it all from the beginning).

#863 posted by necros [70.31.50.57] on 2006/03/30 09:35:26
just modify the link at the top where it says "start" and "end", go to the end of the thread, then set "start" to 0, and that will load the whole thread.
Hmm...
#864 posted by metlslime [71.202.21.157] on 2006/03/30 10:29:23
I'm undecided on whether to have a link to load the entire thread or to force people to edit the URL. One of my goals was to remove "load entire thread" as a default or easy choice, becuase I think it's a bigger DB hit. But I'll think about it.

#865 posted by aguirRe [213.101.70.182] on 2006/03/30 13:23:48
I know how to do it, but as this is probably one of my most frequent forum activities, it'd be very cumbersome to have to edit many links I click.
Btw, the current "All xx" links (which is what I want) don't seem to work; they still give the paged beginning of each thread. I hope it's because metl is working on it ;)

okay, some thread paging changes:
* the URL behavior is now compatible with the old way. meaning, there's no automatic cap on the number of posts. start= and end= are required to limit the range of posts displayed.
* the title of the thread on the forum page will now link to the "last 25" posts.
* logged-in users now have an "all" link that really does give you all posts, just like the old days.
* logged-out users just see the thread title (links to the last 25 posts) and a post count (not a link.) This might not be final.
* if you post to a thread and you're not paged back, you will see the same post range plus your new post, like the old days. If you were paged back, you will just see your new post.
* eliminated the "viewing all X posts." message. If there's no page navigation UI, that means you're viewing all posts.
Sounds Good!

You could let any people read the post, but let them unable to post if not logged. Many forum act like this (i.e planetquake, QuakeOne, etc...) so why not here ?

i do sort of agree with the original intention of the way things are set up atm, in that any one can drop in and leave a post without any hassle of signing up. it's just too bad that also makes the board a target for spam bots and such. :\
Hmm

Add a captcha for guests posting...
I always say, if someone can't take the time to sign up, it's probably that what they want to say isn't so interesting. =D
And for those who like posting from somewhere where they can't log in, a captcha shouldn't be too big of a hassle.
Well...
#887 posted by metlslime [71.202.21.157] on 2006/04/12 01:16:11
Maybe i should have mentioned it in this thread instead of the spam thread, but:
I made a slight change to the javascript code to discourage spam bots -- the "post a reply" form now does not have a valid "action" (the action is the URL of the target page to submit data to) until the javascript sets it right before submitting. So, assuming spambots don't execute the javascript the way a real browser would, this might stop them.
Oh Right...

Looking For Opinions On The Links Page
#918 posted by metlslime [67.188.209.101] on 2006/08/09 02:30:09
There's now a "links" page in the menu. What sort of stuff should go on there? As I made this I realized there ought to be some big comprehensive "Slipgate Central" site, but that would be best as an independent entity. And since I don't want to do that, what level of partial comprehensiveness should I aim for?
I considered simply linking to the QuakeOne Navigator, but I'm not sure if that's best either.

Misc Questions Regarding The Site
#953 posted by Inf [86.87.153.239] on 2006/10/04 14:08:28
I got this site from a friend of mine. Now perhaps it's my lack of intelligence, it probably is, but I find it difficult to navigate. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, just trying to get a few pointers on how to make my stay here more pleasant. Here we go:
Is there a forum index page? Where the forum is divided into categories and each category has it's own forum?
Is there anyway for me to get a email notification when a reply to my thread, or a thread in which I replied myself, is posted?
Inf:
#954 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2006/10/04 15:40:08
For your first question, the "Forum" page (see link at the top of any page) lists 1. permanent or "sticky" threads, 2. latest discussion threads, and 3. latest news threads. The only threads not listed here are old and inactive, and they can be found in the archives. There is an archive for discussion threads, and another one for news threads. Both links can be found on that forum page.
As for email notification, there is nothing like that. However, as a logged-in user you can see how many new/unread posts are in any thread that you've already visited at least once. Obviously this doesn't work as well when you area new user who hasn't read most of the threads, but once you get settled in, it should be possible to tell what's new and what you've already looked at.

#955 posted by Inf [86.87.153.239] on 2006/10/04 16:24:04

I take it you reply to ongoing threads instead of being able to create brand new ones in a permanent thread?
Right...
#956 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2006/10/04 17:24:24
Try to use threads that already exist if they are appropriate to your post. General Abuse is a good catch-all for random things that don't fit any topic.
You're allowed to create a new discussion thread, but you should only do it for a topic that you expect will have many responses, rather than for a question that only needs one answer.

Dear god (metlslime), please ignore that request. Func is so great because it is reduced to pure functionality of a forumboard. Everyone is easily contactable via the profile (or with a post in GA).
privet messages would be funny though. :P

Ah, right, well no actually, I dunno how it's done, but my IP seems to jump around every minute or so while I'm at work, guess I'm a bot. =)
Got it again 4 times when posting this, hehe.

If it's limiting spam, keep it, I only have the problem at work, and I'm sure it's cause our net connection is weird somehow (I also have problems on classic php forums, sets all messages to read every minute, hehe).
I only posted here in case it was abnormal, it doesn't really bother me.

if your IP keeps changing, doesn't that break a lot of web services? Like, you click on a link to request a page, but then your IP changes, so the server sends the page to the old IP, and you never get it? Or IRC, how does that work if your IP keeps changing? How does the data even get to you?

Big Database Change:
#987 posted by metlslime [69.181.0.73] on 2006/12/12 03:00:30
so i made a big database change which basically split the threads and posts into seperate tables. There are about 50,000 posts on the board, and 800 threads. This means that all SQL queries used to have to read a 50000-row table just to get thread data. Now threads are in a seperate, 800-row table, which is much faster to query :)
Pages that should load faster: news page, forum, thread archives. Pages that should be about the same: view_thread, people, faq, etc.
Anyway, please let me know if anything appears to have broken during this change. Things seem to work fine from what I've tested.
(Moderators will notice that they cannot reject a news submission. I will revive this feature soon. Just leave them in the queue for now and we can reject them later.)

Hmm
#1013 posted by metlslime [69.181.0.73] on 2006/12/14 01:47:54
okay, it's as i suspected.
the "RECURSIVE" errors are the ones where a second error occurs while trying to display an error page -- since the error page still has a header and stuff, there are still SQL commands required to see if you're logged in or not, and these must also be causing an error.
Since it's the same error number on both, and that error is "access denied for user" then I think there's nothing wrong with my SQL queries, and instead there's some intermittent problem with the server, like too many connections or something. Which means I can't fix it but at least I know WTF was going on all this time.
Also...

Look at the other "big" game-related threads that are not stickied: Other Games, Speedmapping.
Both would be interesting to be sticky but it works fine as it is.
QC really is a minor issue hereand could either b discussed in Mapping Help (as now) or anyone could create a new thread for it (with a nice and proper header description) that would be amongst the other threads. This primarily is a mapping/gameart board, the QC home is inside3d.

Note To Moderators:

rejecting a news submission now works again.
Also, there is a new feature called "reject as spam" which, instead of posting the submission in the general abuse thread, will reject it and hide it completely so that no user will see it. This is good for anything that is true spam from a bot or abusive visitor, and also for duplicate posts -- you can approve one of the submissions, and reject the duplicate as spam so nobody sees it.
Reject And Hide?

would it be possible to get something to fix up the time for different time zones? the timestamps are kind of useless for me atm. :P
Necros:
#1053 posted by metlslime [69.181.182.38] on 2007/02/03 07:43:08
i have thought of that. FYI, the timestamps were EST for the first two years, then PST for the last two years. And now on the new server they're somewhere in germany, so i guess that's called CET.
Anyway, my plan is to have users choose a time zone in their preferences, and then to translate timestamps into their local time.
Another Idea
#1054 posted by . [70.224.206.161] on 2007/02/03 11:46:39
Ability to tag favorite posts. Say you're digging back a few years for some mapping help or a particular topic, you can flag it as a favorite, add a keyword or 3, easily accessible in your Account page.
Also

That brings me to news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark - but where is the actual .RSS feed that I could add to a reader?

There seem to be a lot of complaints from some people about not being able to load certain pages, such as the entire general thread, or the archive threads.
I wonder if some proxys/ISPs/something else have some sort of max page size? The news archive is 313K, maybe that's too big.
Can you view the discussion archive, or "all posts" from any large threads?
I Also Can't

#1074 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2007/03/23 02:02:51
i've been assuming it had to do something with the total page size. perhaps the the cause is something on the pages themselves, such as a special character that breaks the page. Could this be related to the default character encoding that browsers use, maybe?

No progress, since I can't reproduce it, and the error messages one gets from browsers are usually completely worthless.
Is there anyone out there who gets this problem on ONE computer or browser, but not on another? (such as work vs. home, mac vs. pc, opera vs. firefox?)
And for anyone else, if you're getting the bug, can you report in this thread which browser, version, and OS you're using?

I assumed that it wasn't possible unless you were a spambot.
But, maybe somehow your dynamic IP changed and your browser cached the page so when you posted a comment, it was submitting an outdated form (with the wrong IP hash in it.) That shouldn't be possible becuase the pages on this site should never be cached (they are set to expire immediately.)
Does any of this sound possible? Or maybe a web proxy that cached a page when it shouldn't have? Or something?
If this happens much, I guess I'd need to remove the IP address requirement.

I played a bit this morning and realised that one could small down the page size of func about 1/2 by reworking it in css. Getting rid of all the tables and using div, p and span instead.
If there's interest in doing this I would volunteer doing the hard work for metl (as in providing the visible layout). It might look slightly different but only slightly.

At home I use Firefox and at work IE. Can't go back to IE at home just yet since I managed to corrupt it and don't want to start monkeying around until next week.
CSS - I remember a lecture from a while ago - this works on cascades and saves space because it doesn't hit repeats of the same info?
It's strange that func_ has trouble loading when its mostly text, apart from a few non-windows graphics. Mind you, I know next to nothing of web maintenance.

A Couple Of Small Changes...
#1136 posted by metlslime [71.202.113.29] on 2007/08/20 11:29:48
1. there is now some additional text on the "submit news" and "create a new discussion thread" pages. This should hopefully explain to newcomers what the standards are for creating a new thread vs. posting in an existing thread.
2. you can now create a URL that always points to the last page of a thread, using &page=last in the URL. This page will display the last 25 posts for an anonymous user, but if you are logged in, it will display 25, 50, or 100 posts depending on your preferences.

Autocomplete On Account.php Bugfix
#1149 posted by metlslime [71.202.113.29] on 2007/08/30 09:40:19
There was a bug where if you login on login.php and choose "remember password" in firefox, and then visit account.php it will have one filled-in password field, which means they won't match and you can't submit the form without blanking them out (or filling in the "confirm" field to match.)
This should be fixed now, and firefox's "remember passwords" feature should no longer attempt to autocomplete that field.
"Referer Logging" Login Requirement Lifted
#1150 posted by metlslime [71.202.113.29] on 2007/08/30 10:08:10
I lifted the requirement where you had to enable "referer logging" in opera, and similar settings in firewall software, in order to log in successfully. Please test it out and see if you can log in with referer logging disabled. If you can, great! Then we won't have that issue anymore.
It was originally implemented as general hack protection, but i don't think there's much evil that can be done without it, and it seemed to confuse a lot of people, so it's gone.

cut-off of long words behaves badly when there is a html-"encoded" character involved. The length calculation looks at the length of the whole string instead of what is visible to the eye and breaks the symbol-code.

#1206 posted by metlslime [98.210.181.179] on 2008/04/18 10:13:59
I changed the IP fields from ints to unsigned ints... which is weird because i'm fairly certain they WERE unsigned, but all the server migrations and upgrades in the past few years might have done something to it.
Anyway, someone who was able to generate the 127.255.255.255 address before, please try again and see if it still happens.

#1209 posted by metlslime [98.210.181.179] on 2008/04/19 10:27:47
so that wasn't the right fix, ip2long and long2ip are supposed to use signed ints. I have reverted the changes, fixing the 0.0.0.0 problem.
I still can't tell what's wrong, but at least old data from the database is coming out and displaying correctly, but new data going in is getting IPs >= 128.0.0.0 turned into 127.255.255.255. The change coincides with the latest server move. So maybe it's a PHP or mySQL version issue.
Or...
#1210 posted by metlslime [98.210.181.179] on 2008/04/19 11:12:42

message 42 means your IP address changed between loading/caching the original page, and when you actually submitted the form. Not sure how that actually happens, unless you use some weird proxy or your ISP changes your address under you.

I was using a South African connection with "bit defender" on it.
It has three settings of security. The top setting disables things like:
logging in to email
posting on func
So I had to turn it down a notch to the middle setting which was much better.
A lot of people are ignorant. One example of the type of ignorannce of which I speak is:
Going into multiple TV shops where XBox 360's and PS3's are on display for public to try, and finding the consoles are set to 480p on 720p and 1080p monitors. What a waste!

You didn't reply when I posted this in tf so here it is again:
How about masking at least one part of the IP addresses? 123.xxx.123.123 or even 123.xxx.xxx.123 would still fully serve the purpose of identifying people (well, if it is possible at all, with dynamic IPs etc). But it would give a bit of privacy towards search engine data mining collecting investigating following crazy tinfoil-hat stuff.
Or Hash The IP

I think all issues can be addressed.
First, the misleading URL demonstrated by spirit can be mitigated by making raw URLs look different that anchor tags, using color or other formatting.
Second, the http-based XSS attack spirit showed can be fixed by making the logout button require POST instead of GET.
Third, the javascript-based XSS attacks as demonstrated by czg can be prevented by being stricter about the URL (i.e. requiring http:/ftp: at the beginning)

http://www.celephais.net board/forum.php (replace space with /) no matter what you're looking at.

Many, But Not All, Names Are White In Opera 10
#1343 posted by grahf [74.127.73.102] on 2009/09/03 02:59:34
I just noticed that most people's nicks are white, when I know they should have a color. I don't recall this happening in the earlier betas of Opera 10, just the release candidate and final. On a mac by the way... but Firefox and Safari have no problem.
The following nicks, just from the last 50 posts are white: mine, metlslime, rickyt23, spirit, JPL, inertia, Jago, Pulsar, onetruepurple.
I would guess that Opera doesn't like certain weird RGB combinations? Are there perhaps style options I should change to get around this?

Oh...
#1348 posted by metlslime [173.11.92.50] on 2009/09/03 23:16:45
meaning it is disabling colored text when the color doesn't contrast against the background sufficiently?
#1349 posted by necros [99.227.133.158] on 2009/09/04 00:42:40

I guess I should just get over this and not read 300 posts of mostly pointless bickering, but have you thought about making this easier, maybe paging through new posts 25 at a time or something?

#1353 posted by metlslime [98.248.107.212] on 2009/09/11 11:07:27
i haven't really thought of that, but it might be doable. Currently the "unread" status is per-thread, not per post -- each thread stores the highest-numbered post you've seen, and so if the post count is higher than that, it means you have unread posts.
Since viewing only the first page of "new" posts would only bump up that "highest read post" up by 25 (if you have 25 to a page) then it would correctly remember that you haven't read them all yet, if you get interrupted and don't actually get a change to read all the pages of new posts.

I used the mirrors at quaddicted.com for the three sites that seemed to be mirroed (SPQ level heaven, teamshambler, and quake map hotel) and then used quakewiki.net links for the remainder.
Tenfour, which is hosted at telefragged still, seems to have recently broken (script error.) Hope that gets fixed.
Talon's strike is at archive.org still, might be good to grab that and put it in a zip file on a website that one of us actually controls.
And crash is still at quake2.com, can't believe that's still running.

Oh, you found some old directory. I did not even remember it was still there, heh.
The "new" mirror files are not uploaded yet. I will properly announced that. Finished some sites already.
They screwed up their hosting by not interpreting ASP (or something like that) but instead listing whole directories on some accounts. That means private and personal data was exposed. So apart from removing ads and fixing links I also have to check everything for accidentaly included stuff. What really pisses me off about it is that I mailed PQ when I noticed and the answer was "nah, we never had ASP support"...
underworldfan will officially be at Quaddicted. We had some conversation a while back, I should resurrect that.

I'd like to have a "Show last previous n posts, too" button that just lowers the start post id by n. I find myself going back and forth between previous page and new posts a lot for reference (or rather, I mostly just go back one page and cut off the end param). The new button would allow for exactly that, having the referenced post on the same page as the answers.

that's an intentionally cryptic message i put in to try to keep spambots out; it means the IP address you submitted from is different than the one you loaded the page from. I had hoped it would never affect users, but I guess certain proxies or firewalls can cause it to get tripped. I actually get that sometimes at work, and my workaround is to "preview" and then submit.
Perhaps i need to relax or remove that restriction if it's causing people trouble.

sock has been bumping a bunch of old release threads (and this isn't a complaint against that, by all means, keep commenting on the maps, you are playing as it's very informative and interesting). now i've lost track of the newest releases and i'm not sure but i think i had queued a couple of the newest ones to play but hadn't downloaded them yet.
would this be a hard feature to implement?

Seriously, the IP display is scary. Couldn't you replace it with some simple hashes? That way one could still notice when someone fakes or comes back but it would not be such a privacy issue.
Or Make Them Moderator/admin Only

Spirit:
#1449 posted by metlslime [159.153.4.50] on 2010/08/10 22:32:29
Well... I guess it's there as a deterrent. Since anonymous abusers are not moderators, they won't see the display if it's moderator-only, which means there is no deterrent. If it's a hash they may not understand what it is -- therefore it's not a deterrent.
However, we could perhaps hide the IP on posts from logged-in users. That would solve the issue for regular users.
What are you afraid of, though? Being targetted for a DoS attack or something?

#1453 posted by metlslime [67.188.81.46] on 2010/08/17 11:18:28
though the legal specifcs appear to be unsettled, i think it might be safer just to disable IPs for now and wait a while and see if any court decisions clarify what is and isn't allowed. While IP addresses theoretically deter abuse, we don't see a huge amount of that type of abuse (anonymous posters pretending to be multiple people.)
Agreed

I Wonder Why You Need That Feature

But I also wonder why everyone is such a privacy hypochondriac nowadays. OMG someone can see that I was using the internet! THE IMPLICATIONS!
Yeah I realize that privacy is important. Just not everywhere.
Preview Function

The preview function is great but when I'm previewing a post, there doesn't seem to be a way to verify which thread I'm currently posting in!?
The thread title could be displayed somewhere on the preview page.

for the preview, it would be nice if the previewed post appeared exactly the way it would look if you had posted, so if there were 4 previous posts above and you preview a post, it'd show those 4 plus your own.

What about a "mark all threads read" button for registered users?
