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). _________________

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 :<) _________________

dang, had typed user_last_visit not user_lastvisit; will work properly next you log out or expire a session _________________

does it go back too far or not far enough?
combing through sessions.php, cannot yet see how its behavior has been changed _________________

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 |

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

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