Ignoring is now per-forum. Your previous ignore list has been carried over but is seven times longer now.

I, for one, have un-ignored mint from both Kings of.

um shit!

there's some javascript in the posting script that validates posts a little. i thought it inconsequential, mostly bbcode tags closing, and didn't look too close. D: i'll bring it over for quickreply right now

no wait i misunderstood. what exactly did you do? this may be a flaw in phpBB's own validation code. again, i just pass the textarea through to posting.php, which has several stages of filters meant to catch stuff like this

no wait again, i think this might be the embedded, bbcode version of posts i use for quick quote. i do sanitize it and i thought i tested that throughly . . . hmm, looking into it

FIXED

i did not know the sequence of characters </ cannot appear anywhere in the body of a <script>, even within a syntactically correct literal string used in perfectly valid javascript code! you must escape it as <\/

pretty blindsided by this, didn't find it out until looking in the HTML 4 specs

thanks for hitting this takashi

In other news, there's now an option in your profile to disable YouTube autoplays. A simple regex but it ought to catch all instances (of course, it won't do anything for other video players midis wavs etc).

Gonna pull the session time out of the user table later so I can put in a MEMORY table like the rest of session data for better concurrency.


did this. SB felt much slower when i turned writes to the user table back on (after a brief experiment with cookies), hopefully i was not imagining things & this optimization will help

okay, being hasty the previous fix was masking expired sessions, and so phpBB wasn't making new sessions. sorry guys, patched up now

oh yeah, birdcloud, while I'm thinking about it - how much trouble would it be to implement a "Find all topics started by <user>" alongside the "find all posts" in user profiles?


surprisingly easy! ready now

nice idea too; am seeing posters from a new vantage. people don't make as many (non-axe) threads as you'd think! (i only have one :<)

does it go back too far or not far enough?

combing through sessions.php, cannot yet see how its behavior has been changed

too far, regardless of restarting firefox or re-in-logging

for example, if there is but one new post in the R.I.P. IC thread since I have logged in, I'm still delivered to http://forums.selectbutton.net/viewtopic.php?p=602380#602380 when I click the ...&view=newest icon/link


couldn't figure it out, have reverted to an unmodified sessions.php

eskaibo, that's what should happen, according to phpBB. session ids are saved in cookies without an expiration date, which virtually all browsers treat as until-i-close. you may not have noticed before if your browser was one that keeps a background process going with all temporary data to make start up faster (e.g., Safari and Firefox maybe?)

Logging in seems to take an exceptionally long time right now, in case you've changed anything that might cause that.


this is actually index.php taking forever to query the database for topics with new posts. looked into it, and while each topic caches the id of its last post, there wasn't a index for this. further, the index on post times was completely ignored in favor of post ids, which for this query is bizarre. i added a new index for the former and a hint for the latter. with these, a test query returning about 100 topics ran 0.13 sec. without, 17.86 sec.

main page is and should remain much quicker now.

added a find-in-topic box at the top of the main table

(because 70 pages in the movie thread is way too many to look through by hand)

maybe there's quick fix for this, birdcloud? I mean what's so different about this text box? why can't the other one behave as nicely as the quick reply box...?


actually the full box is shot through with javascript hooks for all the bbcode states & modes. and the wiring's a mess with special cases for every browser's subtlety incompatible DOM. kinda balked last time i looked into it, maybe i'll try again later

back to top has been there forever (though of dubious utility), but yes, i just added filter, mostly for huge threads like the lit & film ones in general

wasn't one of DAIS's new year resolutions to more often turn a street corner and find himself staring at a steamroller? i'm pretty sure that was one of them

It seems to dislike the fact we have HTML inside our RSS feeds, including quotes. birdcloud, can you add a option that runs strip_tags() over the user post, instead of wrapping it on !CDATA?


okay, add &strip=1 to any rss_stalk.php urls and items are sent as raw chunks of text

did you use wordle for the above clouds? it won't take the rss_stalk.php or the profile.php urls as rss feeds

I've considered donating a phpBB skin. But the one I made for PS Cave still isn't entirely done, and birdcloud has changed things in the default theme, and continues to change them. The donated skin would be out-of-date fast.


it's only minor changes i've made, mostly links & buttons and the big quick reply box

it'd take me like twenty minutes to get them into any new theme

am definitely interested in any new themes

Apologies for not noticing sooner, but damn if I don't appreciate what you guys are doing with this place. It looks like birdcloud is mostly responsible? With BBP giving suggestions maybe doing some work? Fucking hi five.


aw, thanks

i've done all the coding, but would never have even started without BBP's (at least then) infectious enthusiasm
