I love the devs.

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

Hey guys, what's with all the fucking CP everywhere?

Quoting by clicking the number of the person's post no longer works for me.

>>20716
Works for me (sort of), but when I click it it sends me to the name field, and it doesn't have an extra enter so I can just continue typing normally.

>>20716
>Quoting by clicking the number of the person's post no longer works for me.

looks like IE isn't properly parsing newlines. on a side note, when clicking the number to quote a post, you can now also select text from that post to auto-magically quote.

>>20714
I'm not sure. What I'd like to know is why when I tried to report one it said it no longer existed, but when I pressed f5 after having tried it was still there.

>>20720
>you can now also select text from that post to auto-magically quote.

That explains why something that happened when I pressed quote and that happened earlier.

>>20714
you have to wait for mods to finish fapping to delete

>>20720

I have the same problem on Firefox. Apparently you have to be in reply mode before clicking the post number. If you're just viewing a page, it doesn't seem to work.

I'm using Burichan CSS, and in addition to this problem it also highlights the post in Futaba's style. And I'm using Firefox, not IE.

>>20720

Firefox 3.0.13, bro.

>>20727
I'm using Firefox and I have this problem >>20719 on top of when trying to quote >>20719 I was unable to do so, though I had no trouble quoting >>20727

I notice that the board changed from orange to blue today. Is it supposed to be worksafe or not?

>>20727
>I have the same problem on Firefox. Apparently you have to be in reply mode before clicking the post number. If you're just viewing a page, it doesn't seem to work.

You should be able to click post numbers from an index to be taken to that thread. What happens when you click post numbers from an index page?

>>20713
short cp flood, saved what i could

>>20732
what common sense tells you?

Mine tells me ot is but people will post non safework content anyway same as almost all other blue boards

>>20734

It seems to be working now, but earlier it would take me to reply mode without autofilling the quoted post number, and I had to enter it manually.

>>20732
Worksafe, obviously. It didn't used to be/ was undecided(?). But whatever it was it is now worksafe.

>>20728
>I'm using Burichan CSS, and in addition to this problem it also highlights the post in Futaba's style.

The highlight should be fixed now.

>>20721
I had the same issue. If you notice, it says that it's reporting post number xxxxx from /tb/ - so I think the issue is that this board is still on test. Not sure though.

>>20744
Yes, I'd just noticed that the highlight was working properly now. I'm also able to quote normally, but I encounter the same problem as the others roughly half the time.

Just fixed the reporting issue, should work properly now.

I also changed the quote routine to set focus on the comment instead of name.

There seems to be an issue with Firefox where once you've manually edited the text in the textarea it doesn't properly append to it. I'm looking into it.

>>20751
Quoting is an improvement, it's staying in the same field at least.

I always wandered why the [Return] link is showed at top left when it should be located at bottom right, that way you don't have to scroll all the way up or use the boards panel

and btw, how does greentext works here?

>test
>>test
>"test"
> test

I kept getting a php error on line 118 for .. I think it was post.php or something like that, earlier today when I tried to make a new thread.. I was able to duplicate it about six times and just gave up. I haven't tried to create a new post since then, but I was able to reply absolutely fine. Firefox 3.5.2, Vista 64bit Home Premium.

Just updated the quoting routine now, it should properly newline, append and focus at the end of the comment.

I like the auto-magical quote system.

When do we get the toolbar, greasemonkey scripts, etc. back?

>>20775
also, will the auto-greentext be implemented on the other boards?

>>20775
>When do we get the toolbar, greasemonkey scripts, etc. back?

Uh, when their authors recode them?

it'd be sweet to be able to vote threads from other boards onto advice.

>>20783
Shit

Fucking greasemonkey authors take months to do this

>>20785
>it'd be sweet to be able to vote threads from other boards onto advice.

Fuck no.

>>20785
sounds really unnecessary.

couldn't you just link them to the board?

this is why no one likes you, topper.

>>20783
This test board seems to be going very well, moot. Is it possible you keep it a test board? I can definitely see it infested by trolls and such (more than there are now, in my opinion there barely are trolls at the moment) if it goes to say zip.4chan.
Possible to keep it a test board, moot?

>>20785
It'd be sweet to vote users into banishment. But I don't think a features 'sweetness' should remotely have anything to do with adding it, it's not a useful feature and would cause problems. It'd be cool, perhaps. But that's it.

>>20788
hey moot, you know you could ask us how to get girls to go to mcdonalds with you. I'm sure one of us would have some useful advice :D

Kind of hoping this board remains "hidden" forever...

>>20791
cuz that's just clutter and annoyance.

5 flags to move "hurr my gf dumped me waht do i do"

A MAN CAN DREAM.

>>20792
almost agreeing with this

I'd hate to see this board end up like /n/

>>20797
same
best board on 4chan right now. has a very nice equilibrium.

>>20798
and then it will take 5 trolls or 1 who knows how2proxy to move porn threads, etc. here.

>>20798
5 is nothing, if the feature was ever implemented it'd have to be substantially more to prevent a user from doing it themselves. Plus /adv/ is currently hidden from the public, so how would the OP be able to find their thread again?

It'd just be a nice feature in a perfect world, don't pick on me. :(

Is the board going public any time soon?

>>20809
>perfect world
This is far from a perfect world. In a perfect world we wouldn't have need for an /adv/ board.

>>20801
>best board on 4chan right now. has a very nice equilibrium.

Judging by content it's one of the worst, for discussion of such content is the best.

tried to delete one of my posts, it says i don't have permission

half of the files i try to upload are uploaded partially, i'm having problems with big files

Reloading the page with text in the comment box no longer retains the text in the comment box.

Topper has a point, as soon as this goes public it will become shit like /r9k/ did because of fags like him and, well, everyone who posts here too.

http://img.4chan.org/r9k/res/5300944.html

>>20843
The eternal dilemma of the Internet.

>>20843

also hyperlinks don't work

>>20832
>tried to delete one of my posts, it says i don't have permission

The software no longer allows you to delete simply if your IP matches that of the poster. You'll have to use a password to delete.

>>20835
>half of the files i try to upload are uploaded partially, i'm having problems with big files

How big? I think the config on this board is set to 3MB max, but the server settings are 2MB, so that might cause some weirdness.

>>20836
>Reloading the page with text in the comment box no longer retains the text in the comment box.

The comment field is now set to not to autocomplete (i.e. not to remember what you've typed in it), I assumed this would be preferred, but if enough people don't like it I can change it.

>>20848
I prefer it like this.

>>20848
I don't like it either, but it's not too much trouble, as long as I remember to copy-paste what I say before I press f5. However, if for instance submit failed, perhaps because of a duplicate file, would pressing back(space) still retain the comment? If not, that could be a real problem.

>>20847
>also hyperlinks don't work

This board software has no knowledge of boards it doesn't host, so hyperlinks to remote boards/posts won't work until the software is live.

Interboard links like >>>/test/1 should work (assuming the board exists on test.4chan.org) and http://www.4chan.org/faq type links work (I think?)

>>20854
>I don't like it either, but it's not too much trouble, as long as I remember to copy-paste what I say before I press f5. However, if for instance submit failed, perhaps because of a duplicate file, would pressing back(space) still retain the comment? If not, that could be a real problem.

That's a good point. With the new javascript there are global-options and board-specific options (like default name, email, password, stylesheet, etc). It's very possible we could make the autocomplete a cookied option.

>>20848
1.58MB gif

refilling in comment boxes is pretty damn useful, and I don't see what it hurts to have it enabled.

>>20861

If you're getting the "Your file was only partially uploaded. Please try again." message, it's a server-side issue. This server was set up hastily and you most likely won't see the same issues on a production setup.

>>20848
i prefer it to remember what i wrote

>>20863
"partially uploaded", nevermind, i just did

If you use a password with a non-alphanumeric character in it, you can't delete your post/image.

>>20889
>If you use a password with a non-alphanumeric character in it, you can't delete your post/image.

This has been corrected. Thanks!

I know you've probably gone now moot but just incase you come back...... POST THE FUCKING NEWS
Shits been going on since like November

Please keep this board hidden for awhile sir. Its nice i like it

I was typing something into the name field, and I accidentally clicked enter during typing. It made me submit it, I don't think name fields should have the option to submit it like that.

this board is perfect in it's current form. slow, basically troll free. though i only see it at night. i say change nothing.

>>20958
Also, I apparently have to backspace it every time to post anonymously now. What's with that?

my email field doesn't clear even when i've cleared it and posted. so, i've accidentally saged quite a bit due to not paying attention. small issue but annoying.

>>20964
My Subject field does that too.

>>20566
maybe if i change it to love it will not be so stupid.

Apparently copying the url doesn't work. Fix please? >>20979

>>20983

Blanking out name and email should work now.

4. who are you to say what a good bug report is?

>>21113
>Dev what is up with the ''Invalid post action. Halp.'' error. I get it every fucking time I try to make a post.

I've made some changes to the post mode resolution, if this is still happening, it's probably an addon or your browser is making malformed posts, it may also happen if you upload a file larger than the board allows?

>>21141
I also get this shit, and I couldn't go back and try to post it again. My text was gone... So I had to write this wall of text all over again...

>>20720
>you can now also select text from that post to auto-magically quote.

that is a beautiful thing you have done.

>>21124
It isn't, moot can't code for shit.

>>21141
Thank you for taking the time to fix shit for our whiny asses.

This board doesn't have an icon like the rest of the boards.

Notice the contrast.

how do i minimize fred?

Does this board existing have anything to do with the 4chan Firefox extension being broken?

This board is closed!
/test/ is closed for the night. please send feedback/bugs to dev@4chan.org,
would also like to hear suggestions for a name for the new software.


:(

Is it ever coming back?

can not report

can not report

hmm not bad

I love how I dont get confirm resubmit when reloading the index. Best fix.

Where's the [b]BBCODE[/b], sir[i]![/i]

>>21449

Soon.

>>21551

That idea got shot down by management a while ago.

>>21723
>management

so moot did sell 4chan

>>21737
i think he is the management.

Are mods Glaufags?

>>21756
The management is team4chan, otherwise known as "Moot and Pals."

also >>>/test/1

/r9k/ should be hidden similar to /adv/

this would limit the influx of new users which irritate the regular users

yea its Really nice.

>>22504
The matter has left me in confusion. How could I have possibly overlooked this for the entirety of my stay?

>>22521
No clue.

Perhaps a dumb question, but why does 4chan need entirely new software? What's wrong with the old code, why can't it just be modified to add new features? Is it slow / using too much processing power per post or something?

Hey Devs, keep this board HIDDEN please!

This is actually the first good board without /b/tards and the usual trolls destroying it.

Anyway, can we expect the functionality of the add-on to be added to the actual site, rather than being a firefox add-on?

why the hell is :get prophet: broke?

says abnormal reply

Also, I'd like to thank everyone that puts up with Anonymous' SHIT. We're both brilliant and retarded... mostly retarded.

Awesome my subject field is fixed

Images are not displaying anymore with the new software.
OS is HP/UX and browser is Lynx.

Hey max, did you do anything special with the database/model in this update? I'm an intermediate-level SQL bro and I'm curious to know if you did any optimizing in that area or learned anything worth sharing, as this is a pretty seriously trafficked website.

Yeah right. That's what Daddy said about Grandma.

>>21141

I'm using Opera, but without any addons. And I don't think it has anything to do with the pictures, since it happens with every picture I try to post.

>>22904

Just found out I don't get this error when I use FireFox. And it also mostly happens when I try to upload a picture or when I make a large post. Posting a topic with Opera hasn't worked a single time so far by the way.

Clicking on a post number to link it always goes to the end of the comment field, regardless of where the cursor is.

>>22929
Also, clicking a post number immediately jumps to the comment box, which is annoying if you want to quote two or more posts and have to re-navigate back to them each time

i would like to request a SEARCH feature.

it would help prevent posting multiple instances of a single subject or topic, and it would help if you lost track of a thread.

>>23070
You can't glance over 10 pages to find a lost thread on one of the slowest moving boards?
Thats pretty damn lazy.

>>23114
Remember, if it stops being hidden, the traffic will go up dramatically. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who want 'answers.'

Error
Unable to load board configuration for board: '1'.

LOL WAT

hey.
so, when i click the button on the bottom to go to page 1, it fucks up and sends me to test.4chan.org/test/1

Don't know if someone's pointed this out (tl;dr)

I'm using the latest firefox on 34 bit vista if it matters.

Kudos, max!

Great stuff!

Hurr. http://test.4chan.org/adv/1.html is what you're thinking of.

>>23389

haha! Why is everything black and white in IE? yotsubland.css?

>>23460
Whoa, so it is!

So yotsubland is the default for IE right now? I do like it, but I must point out one thing...

Links are pretty much invisible.
I do like how 'mod red' is the only color in sight. It'll be a nice alternative from switching to Yotsuba B in order to spot fake!moots. Can't argue with red letters on a colorless board!

>>23437
Well no fucking duh. I mean what the hell do you mean that's not what they say. Christ you're a fucking retard. Click on the 1 and go to the page, compare the url to the one I posted. THEY'RE THE SAME WHOAAAAA.

I like this board, and it's entertaining.

Maybe because it's not overloaded with too many people?

Keep the good work.

>>23501

What is this bug that i only can see the first page?

When i click from 1-10 there will be always an error!

Using FF and I have the correct navigation links.

>>23584
not a browser issue, its server side.

the devs said earlier in this thread bbcode is not going to be implemented. i can understand no font size/colour changes but how about at least some way to set some text to italics or bold. it would make emphasising points in a post a lot easier

>>23591
>no font size/colour changes
Those aren't in Shiichan's version of BBcode anyway.

I'd like [b] and [i], but it sounds like that's out.

I think all the imageboards should be able to use [aa] tags for beautiful SJIS art

( ﾟ∀ﾟ) Tablecats for everyone!

>>23589
So it's not only my problem.

But it worked properly once.

It should be fixed...NAO!

>>23561
It doesn't say that for me. Enjoy whatever shitty browser you're using.

>>23634
And a screenshot, since you're probably a dumb enough cunt to think I'm lying or something.

Fun fact! When I open the page "http://test.4chan.org/adv", I can only browse the first page and the rest of the pages do not work. When I open the page "http://test.4chan.org/adv/", all pages work.

>>23664
same here

>>23664
Likewise, that does appear to be the source of the problem.

hello i dont have any bug to report i just wanted to post on /adv/

Hey, I remember back when Moot was on /r9k/ for those few days, someone mentioned they'd been working on some cool new software for 4chan, Moot said he'd think about it, but to hold off on releasing it.

Is this it? If not, what happened to that chap and whatever he was working on?

>>23664
now the pages are showing up as:

http://test.4chan.org/adv////////////////////2.html

Can we have a manga board?

>>23751
i hope you are joking

>>23751

Having separate anime and manga boards would be nice, but I wouldn't put it at the top of a suggested changes list.

Image thumbnails overlap subsequent posts, rather than expanding the size of the post containing the post.also hi max goldbar

As for the paging, it is a browser issue. The links are href="1.html".

If you are looking at /adv/ and click on a link to 1.html, and your browser takes you to /1.html instead of /adv/1.html it isn't following standards.

That being said I'll add a ./ to make it less complicated.

>>23974
some long posts won't show the cut off fucking link info

not mailing to you the details anarchist and all but yeah

My noko doesn't work, it used to atleast keep me in the thread (back mon like the first day of /adv/) now it does jackshit. Also it doesn't save as my email.
This seemed like the appropriate place to bitch about it.

>>24066
It's been working fine for me on Firefox.

>>23974
so how about a search feature?

>>24159
There's software to do this. Chanmongler will work, or 5 seconds in Perl.

The report system could be redone.

Add different reasons for report instead of just "rule violation" and "illegal". Maybe have "spam", "post flooding inside a thread", etc.

>>24183
Agree, perhaps even an option to leave a very short, maybe 25 character message detailing the problem when reporting

/honesty.

>>24268
Writing a text can be too much (remember: probably many people are reporting the same stuff).


>>24183
Even if you specify another reason, it's always "rule violation" (or illegal). The mod still need to check the original post.

also is it possable to get rid of the spam/cancer/genral fagotory of /b/ or can you get a new /test/ board but keep it hidden?

keep it hidden thas my only advice

/b/tards rule

>>24541
More people = more trouble. This is the sad truth.

This board is great because the people here are trying to giving /adv/ices (and not spam/retarded post), and it's not actually "mainstream".

The goal shouldn't be so much to keep it secret, than to just keep it out of primary view.

Let's face it, they'll learn about it, regardless of what we do, but if it requires a couple seconds of actual effort to get here, the typical /b/tard will stay away.

>>24586
This is a SFW board right? (I see they changed the background).

Fortunately this is a general advice board, and not specific to relationship.

>>24541

>>24560

really sad, but you know how the majority of 4channers are like

>>20566
Am I the only one that doens't like the font in the Comment box?? When you're typing out your message it's like Courier New or something unlike the Arial type one for the other boards.

Minor problem just thought I'd see if anyone else doesn't like it.

>>24733

I actually liked it better than default, and felt strange when it didn't look like what I typed.

I think you can change it though.

>>23616
lol kusaba

moot, for the love of god, please let someone moderate dis.4chan.org to keep the spammers out

Please ! - Dont touch anything ! ahah its a great place, and no spammers, and actual useful advice. no trolls. no /b/tards.. leave as is ! and keep it modded well ! - Great job ! :)

I think the main js include is going to be kept fairly lean. That being said, I acknowledge that addons/user scripts/the toolbar is widely used. There will be a simple ajax interface for fetching single posts as JSON (and possibly as HTML) for addon authors to use instead of having to fetch entire threads and then apply regex's to the HTML.

>>23664
On other boards the trailing forward slash is automatically added when you visit a url such as "http://orz.4chan.org/hr", perhaps this could be added to the new code to stop the page navigation links from breaking

Wahey, slick piece of software.

My recommendations to you (coming from a developer):
- If it's done in PHP, use Smarty
- Use classes and modularize your code
- Write separate classes for interfacing with data, dealing with database servers & outputting view.
- Take a look at http://seleniumhq.org/ for testing the application.
- Try and cut as many SQL queries as possible, they are the major cause of lag.

I'm currently supposed to be banned from all boards. Obviously the new software doesn't recognize that, and there will probably be no need to fix it once all the boards are upgraded, but I thought I'd mention it nevertheless.

Will we be able to #fortune on the new software?

This would be such a useful API.
You could also add in some interfaces for fetching:
How many posts are in a thread
How many are images
How many are sages
Thread status (locked, pinned, deleted, etc)
Your own status on the board. (ban, really. Or on /r9k/, your mute time?)

Also, in Chrome, when i tried resizing the comment box, it flew underneath the label box to the left of it when i stretched it too far right. (probably would happen in Opera as well)
I think it might be a nice idea to add in a little up/down arrow button that would extend the textarea down the way (400px?), then back to the original on a 2nd click.
SovietRussia has this running and it has been really useful.
You could probably go one better and actually place it inside the label box so it doesn't stick out and ruin the design.
You could style the button to fit in with the label boxes styling.

Also, just had a look at the source, i creamed by pants.
Although i do like to see nice source code, nice source code tends to be more bloat than it is worth... sadly.
All those extra bytes from running the source through a compressor can really be worth considering.
You can always have a link at the very top of the document commented out that points to the clean source, it is what i do.

Agreed, to a certain extent. I think moot would rather obfuscate some of the various flood timers/bump/sage limit counters etc. but most of that stuff is within reason.

That's the plan. HTML probably won't get compressed much (beyond normal gzip), it currently chops out comments and non-indent spaces at compile time. JS/CSS will most likely be minified with a header linking to originals once we're further out of "dev mode".

>>28088
>>If done in PHP use smarty.
>Don't. Use dwoo instead.

Template engines are generally too much overhead for a site which is can get hundreds of hits per second. PHP is already a templating language, currently we compile templates so each page is a single include, and with an opcode cache it can't really get any faster.

>Or be a man and use Rails :3
I hope you aren't serious. PHP is bad enough.

>>28148
>Agreed, to a certain extent. I think moot would rather obfuscate some of the various flood timers/bump/sage limit counters etc. but most of that stuff is within reason.
Eh, probably true to hide some things.

Also, on the outside of the thread (from frontpage views), the "comment truncated" message never showed.

>>28165
>Also, on the outside of the thread (from frontpage views), the "comment truncated" message never showed.

I was told that this should only be shown on the OP, and replies which are truncated don't get their own message.

Mouse-over on long filenames, no longer shows alt-text (Opera 10).

I'm not seeing one, but I assume there'll be spoiler images still?

Does this script create HTML files, or will every page be dynamically created (ex: http://test.4chan.org/index.php?board=adv )
I can't see this as being less resource intensive than generating HTML files on every new post, as there are probably more views than posts.

>>28188
>Mouse-over on long filenames, no longer shows alt-text (Opera 10).
Good find. This is also performing a non-entity safe substr() which can break html if weird characters are used in a file name.

>I'm not seeing one, but I assume there'll be spoiler images still?
On boards that use the spoiler plugin, yes.

>>28239

It's written to do a mix of whatever is needed based on the configuration. Currently it's 100% dynamic. I'm in the process of profiling to see where it's worth it to compile threads, ans possibly even indexes.

On lower traffic boards, it may be worth it to compile static HTML if a thread is going to be viewed 10-20 times before it is pruned or replied to.

You guys shouldn't worry about performance as much as usability. I am a fairly capable coder.

New update rolled out:

* = Bug fixes
+ = New feature
# = Misc

* Long posts with lots of comment links were not being checked for size, causing broken html.
* Comment links to OPs were sometimes causing links like /.html#post_id to be created.
# File uploads which were too large now give a slightly more verbose error.
* File uploading now gets an exclusive lock on the final file name, clearing up a lot of race condition issues.
* You may no longer craft a post allowing you to reply to a reply.
* Deleting threads no longer links you back to the deleted thread.
* The post omission counter on indexes now shows total posts instead of text-only posts.
* Truncated original file names are now put in a span with a title for mouseovers.
+ Added a return link at the bottom of threads to take you back to the board.
* Made paging links fully qualified URLs to avoid issues some users were having.
+ Wrapped the JS quoting routine in a function that which allows you to double-click quote links to append them to your comment without changing focus.
+ Added a quick and dirty comment textarea expander which is accessed by clicking the label for the comment field.
* Fixed a CSS issue where input buttons were changing style when focused.
* Removed the image background on post thumbnails so deleted files don't look weird.
* Removed the max-width on the paging, which was causing problems on every browser (it was added to fix IE7)
# Text inputs and Textareas now have a css font applied to them, as most browsers use different fonts for each.
* 404s now show '404' in the title instead of 'Error'.

You should probably hard-refresh to make sure the CSS/JS is not cached.

I noticed that the yotsuba logo is green when it should be blue given this is a work safe board, is it the same for other browsers?

>>28663
This is because it's only half worksafe.

Actually none of the boards are worksafe. Go post porn on /v/, no one cares.

Let's say I quote a post (e.g., >>somenumbers) by clicking on its post number as usual.

Regardless of whether I've typed anything extra, if I then refresh the page (F5) without resubmitting:
- the stuff in the comment box is still there (the post quote, in addition to whatever else I've added)
- the post quote (>>whatever) is once again appended to the end of the comment

For example, if I'd quoted OP I'd see:
---------------------
>>20566

---------------------
in the box (delineated by dashes). Now, without doing another thing, if I refresh, I see in the box:

---------------------
>>20566

>>20566

---------------------

And every time I refresh, a new quote is appended to the end. 'Sup with that?

FF3.5.2, Win XP Pro SP3

>>28683

This is a function of your browser's autocomplete functionality. Once you type something in a comment box, it will remain across page views (refreshes etc). Originally I had turned autocomplete off, as there are quite a few issues it creates, but then I changed it back because if you get a post error and then hit back, you lose your post. I think this will be an option in the future.

gah.
i keep trying to read this thread, but only get the first hundred or so posts, the rest are cut off

>>28962

Yeah, maybe on crappy old machines / browsers, but who cares about them?

But on a serious note, that was already there in another form.
Neither form are any slower, not noticeably anyway.

Also, i never noticed that the MD5 of images were added in the source (on old code), admittedly not the most ideal way either (md5 attribute), it is now in the alt text in the new code.

Have you guys considered some of the newer features that have been on Futaba's boards for the past couple years?

Specifically, I'm talking about board catalog pages that generate a single-page overview of all current threads, so that users aren't constantly jumping between pages just to find a particular thread. Currently, Futaba gives you the option of five different sorting orders: most recently active, newest thread creation, oldest thread creation, greatest number of posts, and least number of posts.

Another potentially useful feature would be an ID system that generates and appends an IP-based hash to each post in order for users to easily detect samefags. Some Futaba boards go as far as revealing all but the first octet of the poster's IP address, but that's definitely not something I would agree with.

Both are pictured in the attached file.

>>29174
Forgot to mention that ID hashes for the same user can change between threads or rotate periodically (e.g. daily).

>>29174
>>29188
420chan does that. It sucks

>>29174

I'm fully behind the ID thing.
If it cuts down on crappy trolling threads, i am fully behind it.
It certainly works on the few boards i have seen use it.

As long as it is only a temporary ID, it should be fine. (with all the anonymous cry babies who think being Anonymous means something... lol)
Best way to create a cycling ID is just combining date + IP and hashing.

>>28962
>I notice that you bind a click event to all # links on the page. I can't see this as a good thing for threads with many replies. Even with jquery's speed, running bind on many hundred anchor links is sure to lock up a user's browser...

This thread has nearly 300 replies and I've yet to hear any complaints or notice any slowness. The current board uses onclick="" which is more or less the same thing. I think this is a non-issue.


>>29174
>Have you guys considered some of the newer features that have been on Futaba's boards for the past couple years?

The current code has the ID (based on date/IP) stuff in it (I assume from Futaba), I don't think it's used on any boards, so I'm assuming that was an administrative call.

I like the idea of the catalog, and it would be fairly easy to implement with some simple caching in front of it.

>>29274
Still, it might be better to do event delegation (bind the event to the parent element, then use the jquery is function to see if it matches the selector to run the function on it). It would probably leave less of a memory footprint and take out less loading time.

You're free to ignore this suggestion, though.

>>29313

It's a tradeoff either way. Binding to the parent means less binds but still having to check every click (and now double click) as opposed to binding on init and not worrying about it. From profiling it looks like the binds themselves are taking less than 0.5ms each.

I think when this software launches, if the js onload is the slowest part of a pageload on 4chan, we have a pretty desirable problem on our hands.

>>29208
no, you.
>>29217
>anonymous cry babies who think being Anonymous means something
hush, you lacklurker.

>>29325
>The current code has the ID (based on date/IP) stuff in it (I assume from Futaba), I don't think it's used on any boards, so I'm assuming that was an administrative call.

I realize you're only onboard to work on the software, but do you think you could pass the idea by moot? At least add it to test boards like this and see what comes out of it?

>>29633
I agree with this. I also understand you're onboard to work on the new imageboard software, but IDs I think should be given a test run (seeing as this is a testboard afterall).

Also, could you suggest to moot to get someone on team 4chan such as Mr VacBob or someone to turn back on post IDs in Shiichan on World4ch (also known as "the textboards" on dis.4chan.org). They were last used back in 2007 and since they've been turned off it's hard to detect which poster is which. This helps better detect more than one post made by the same person, ect. I'd ask in #4chan directly but I can't afford to lurk all day on IRC.

Thank you.

Can we get a link to userscripts.org on the tools page? There's no official mention anywhere on the site that 4chan userscripts even exist.

juden!

Actually /adv/ is for:

2. Test a new software.
3. Try to solve the inherent problems common to mid-to-late teens lacking self-confidence basically by reaffirming them on their intentions (a tl,dr do it faggot), task also referred to as baby-sitting.

Regarding the possibility of markup, I think y'all should consider something like WakabaMark instead of bbCode-like syntax. It implements traditional methods of formatting plaintext (e.g. asterisks for emphasis and unordered lists), making it a more natural process when posting.

Fuck off, this is a fantastic improvement.

Suggestion 1.

how about separating long threads into multiple pages? E.g. 100 posts per page, so a thread that has 1000 posts will have 10 pages. Also, make it so that the multiple thread feature doesn't kick in until maybe 150 posts.

Pros:
1. only the last page needs to be generated whenever there is a new post
2. users don't need to load an entire thread just to read the last couple of posts.

Cons:
1. not a lot of threads will ever reach 150 posts except for stickies

Suggestion 2:

Have quotes work differently. Currently, when you click on >>, it causes you to jump to a new position on the thread, which means you lose your old position. This is very annoying.

Instead, when someone clicks on a >>, have javascript copy that post and place it just above the current post. And if that copy has a quote that's clicked on, then copy that post and place above again.

See pic for example if someone clicks on >>20788 and then clicks >>20785

This shouldn't tax 4chan's server since it's in javascript and all the info needed is already on the loaded page.

>>33205
/b/ackwash (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/44327) sort of does this. I prefer the current way, and it'd be easy to implement what you want in Greasemonkey.
