It is I, Pupper, and I am doing a complete rewrite of the code, and wanted to get some input from you dear Anons on what wishes you have. My hope is to make the site more robust and userfriendly, and succeed on both these goals (or at leas not make it worse).
But before I get too far into the new code I thought I'd open up for input on features and improvements you want to see. It is still early in development and it is therefor still easy to change things before I weer of into a wrong direction and paint me into a corner. I am not planning on changing the overall look or function of the site just improving on what we have.
If you got any ideas, suggestions, grievances or fun jokes I am happy to hear them all. Developing something without knowing what you guys want can easily end in sorrow, so I want to avoid that with this preemptive strike asking for what you want to see.
I am looking forward to your input and I will note it all down (in this thread) and us it as help when developing the new code. I am not sure when the new code will be complete so I can sadly not make any promises in that regard, but I can promise I have begun with the rewrite.

Hey, learning experience projects are the best projects. Besides, we had plenty of teething issues with the code when fallenPineapple first coded the place up, so we'll work through it all the same. We're here for 'ya, dawg.
I'd also like to suggest having higher-res icons for mobilefags, but I would very strongly advise caution and restraint for that, for the simple reason of mobilefags and your plan to have a fully functional mobile version of the site.
There are different favicon standards for Android, Android TV, iOS, Windows 8/10, Safari, and possibly more. It is extremely easy to go overboard, full force autism with favicons (as one glance at the output of https://realfavicongenerator.net will tell you), and I don't suspect anyone's tested if it's even possible to have special mobilefag favicons be switched up like in desktop browsers. But if you're insane enough to tackle it please don't for your sanity's sake mane, I hope you've got SVGs for the current black sun design handy.
As a side note, I'm also the OP of >>4299 →, and have zero issue with taking the brunt of the disgusting favicon generation autism should you go down that route. Maybe testing for functionality. i'm scared of the rabbit hole i've just opened god help me
Other than that, there is the minor detail of UID totals not being displayed in the page info at the bottom in threads that have IDs hidden. Unsure if an oversight or deliberate move, but something worth pointing out.

So true, and thanks for support. Also sorry for late (really late) reply.
>I'd also like to suggest having higher-res icons for mobilefags
I'm thinking of using plain PNG as favicon as all browses support that. Hopefully it will also lead to less pain in getting it working at different resolutions. But I will do some digging and all that when I wan't a little break to do something different and have some non-system-breaking fun. It would also as you say (or hints) be good to have icons that reflect the OS and don't break the overall look and feel of the OS GUI. Also I suspect my brand of autism will make me do it. Breaking an UI quickly becomes an eyesore and a deepfelt need to fix.
>Other than that, there is the minor detail of UID totals not being displayed in the page info at the bottom in threads that have IDs hidden. Unsure if an oversight or deliberate move, but something worth pointing out.
The reason UID count don't show up on pages with hidden IDs is because it is generated by JS that counts IDs it can see. And since there is no IDs to see it don't know what to do. In new code it would be easy to add UIDs to threads with hidden IDs, but there is upsides and downsides by showing it.

>I'm thinking of using plain PNG as favicon as all browses support that.
It's not a bad idea at all, but the only problem with that is scaling down to lower resolutions, which could fuck up the pixart of the changed favicons, especially the (!).
Thing is, ICO files actually have multiple different resolutions of icon inside the file, going from 16x16 (the familiar favicon size) to 256x256 in steps of 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 72, 96, 128, and then 256. You can see a breakdown of all the sizes in pics related, including our current one.
Thankfully, you don't need to make every individual step: just 16x, 64x, and 256x should be good enough, and the software scaling takes care of the rest. ICOs also do PNG compression since Vista, so they can stay compact as well.
GIMP will export to ICOs in a snap, so accounting for the increments in pixart should be easy.
The "fun" part comes from the various mobilefag implementations of favicons. I'll just attach what https://realfavicongenerator.net gave me for pic #3 to show you the depths of webdev cancer that our favourite tech giants have decided to 'grace' your <head> and webroot with. I told you this was one hell of a rabbit hole!
Anyway, enough autism from me for today.

Rewrite the imageboard backend in C++
No balls

I did consider (not too seriously) writing it all as an standalone OS, but it would be way too much work. Perhaps after I am done with the Asp Net Core C# version I will find myself in a position where trying to writing it in C++ allures me into its embrace. Playing with a low level language again does sound like fun.

It's fun, and it helps you get a better grasp of the language. But yeah, I understand. I spent a year writing an imageboard in C++, but kind of lost my focus on it about 90% of the way through.
It is pretty fast, though, with post times of about 150ms at 1.8 million posts site wide

I have to admit I do like the idea of once more be able to fully control threading, locks, pointers and all the good stuff you can do with full low level control. And tweaking it into running lighting fast is one of the fun parts. But I imagine one of the main bottlenecks will be the DB and optimizing queries. I don't think I will be able to write an DB equivalent that is anywhere near what current iterations is capable of.

I've just been using the MySQL connector library. It allows you to make prepared statements and queries natively. And yeah, DB optimization is the main bottleneck. The right DB index in the right place can turn a 10 second query into 100 milliseconds

Yes, low level languages are extremely fast compared to languages like PHP, Java, or Ruby
It also has the added fun of running your software on really old or esoteric systems, like a Pentium II, for shits and giggles

It would appear that reporting is based in some way off of IDs, as when I tried to report https://mlpol.net/sp/res/4143.html#q13337 I kept repeatedly getting "Undefined index: id" errors.
Also, take a look at that post if you would and give it a hit.

Hi I don't have an fixed ETA as I have been working a bit on again/off again on the code.
I have most of the user side of the code completed, and I'm working on getting the Moderator side of things complete. After I have the basic of Moderator functions in place I will open it up for testing and feedback.
So hopefully in not too long I will have something up for testing. But I am a bit unsure on timeline as the upcoming festivities and family unions, but hopefully before Christmas or New Year I will have something up. Moderator side don't have to be as pretty and user friendly as user side to begin with.
I hope once you get to play with new code you will be pleased, and that it runs smoothly.

Oh yeah, when you expand a quick reply window you can shrink it vertically, but not horizontally. I know it's a bit 11th hour, but that's always bugged me a bit and if you could patch it that would be much appreciated.

Sorry for late reply. Sadly I have to say NPFChan is currently not being further developed upon by me. Much of the expansions I made to the code I would not say were optimally included as I had to conform to what the code already did and squeeze my patches in there. So starting from a clean slate was a much better prospect for me going forward.

This is an error I am aware of and share your feelings about it, and I have fixed in new version. All the JavaScript is created from scratch for the new codebase and hopefully fixes all problems/shortcomings (and don't introduce new ones).

Doing the finishing touches and getting all the functions working. Then I will get people on staff do some testing and give feedback. When all this is done (or while this is being done) I have to write some code to get all the data into the new database structure. I have chosen to wait with creating the Archive as it isn't an priority at the moment.
But long story short, we're closing in on the end.

I know about the problem, and it is fixed in the new code. The reason this happens is that the "Last 50 post" page isn't generated unless there is 50 replies, and when you are on a "Last 50 posts" page it only links to other "Last 50 posts" pages, or assumes all pages have a "Last 50 post" kind of page, so links to new Thread will result in an 404. (To use a long way, and some bad sentence building, to explain it)

I have beta of code running on a test server so ironing out kinks and adding functionality needed. And I still have to work out moving all the current data to new database too so hopefully that won't take too long. Motivation unfortunately also plays in on when it will be completed, not every day I am motivated to mess around with the code.

See?
Just like that, by clicking New Reply with an empty text box, it's possible to create an Empty Post.
Some asshole could probably fill a thread with shittons of empty posts to make it hit post limit, permanently locking it.
You could fix this by making all posts require a minimum of 1 letter before they can be posted.
That way someone could still do the whole "One letter per post" thing so people can still press F to pay respects while saying nothing else.

There is a bug in the current code that results in threads that reach 1000 replies starts bumping again. I am not sure I will add this bug to new code or add functionality to keep certain (un-pinned) threads be without bumplimit as it is an edge case.

I will not move to new code until all threads (current and archived) are moved to it and functioning. So no need to worry. I just hope that this won't be a big task and delay moving to new code too long. I have to admit I haven't started looking into the movement yet. Thought it was best to wait until I had the entire new database structure hammered out and set in stone.

Could a built-in "Post polls with designated time limits attached to posts" system be added to the site?
Also
The bottom of every thread has a clickable "Auto-Refresh" thing you can click to turn auto-refreshing off. Could one of those be added to the top of threads, too?
It would make viewing the site in mobile mode more convenient since you wouldn't need to scroll to the bottom before you can turn off auto-refreshing.
A Mobile Mode that hides all images by default to increase load times would also be great, but then again I could see shill bastards turning that on so they don't have to look at horse pussy. Maybe add the ability to flag your images as "Load no matter what, even in mobile mode".

It would be possible, but not in any plans at the moment as there is several 3rd party sites that has all the functionality built in. One solution that might be better and cleaner is to add embedding of, as an example, Strawpoll links like for YouTube videos.

I will add this functionality to the new code. But if you want to turn it off for all threads there is an option in the [Options] menu to turn off Auto update by default.
>A Mobile Mode that hides all images by default to increase load times
I'll look into this as of now there is just an simple "hide all images" (still loading them). I will look into changing that code to not load unless revealed. An option to "Load no matter what, even in mobile mode" I don't think I will put in any work to do because it will add an extra flag to keep track of and would add unnecessary complexity that two lines of custom JS would render useless.

An option to "Load no matter what, even in mobile mode" I don't think I will put in any work to do because it will add an extra flag to keep track of and would add unnecessary complexity that two lines of custom JS would render useless.
[Go to bottom] on mobile doesn’t work.
t. iShit.
But mobile has quick reply box so that’s a bonus.

Looks like Apple chose to do their own thing, since iOS 8, and break RFC 1738. And because they are as big as Microsoft was during the IE era (especially on mobile) they get away with it with good help from kool-aid and fanboys. I'll do some testing and try to implement the workaround to force Apple to acknowledge there is an Anchor link in the URL.

Hey Pupper, i've noticed a Bug. the "Go to top" Button at the bottom of the page does nothing,at least it doesn't for me.
I don't like that files have a random hash as it's default file name, rather than chronologically increasing numbers. it makes downloading something and leaving it in a file easy because chronologically increasing numbers means files will be chronologically ordered automatically. as of right now, there is no chronological file name if a file has a user-given name making file organization even harder. I don't like it, and want it reversed.
>>5032
>there is no chronological file name if a file has a user-given name making file organization even harder
I prefer the random name, it makes it harder to our adversaries to keep track of the posts. Also it has the advantage to avoid to rename every file before to post it.

>>5033
>post tracking
for all practical proposes a unique hash is hardly different from a unique number. searching either will yield the same results, in finding a specific post. If the date of a post is already listed, a chronological name is worthless. and I genuinely don't understand the second part of your post. I understand the preference. But the minimum I would want is an alternative download method like what 8kun has. But of course, I prefer how /mlpol/ did it like a week ago.

never said anything about archives, but as I said. I like how because the files are named sequentially, it makes downloaded files sort chronologically automatically, making file sorting very very easy.

Sometimes files get lost and we know we can find them in an archive due to unique filename or unique keywords in certain posts. Like map files, for example. Or a prediction that came true. Or an info dump. Or just lulzy conversations.

I'll check it, I know some browsers for some reason don't support Anchor links (RFC 1738). Or it could be that they don't like the "Last 50 posts" link format. Does this happen on "View all posts" pages or only "Last N posts" pages?
>>5032
>random hash as it's default file name
The Hash is an hash of the content of the fille so not a random hash. The reason this is done is so we don't have to save multiples of the same file.
>>5034
> But the minimum I would want is an alternative download method like what 8kun has. But of course, I prefer how /mlpol/ did it like a week ago.
So an link similar to "save as original filename" that downloads and saves files as the timestamp of when the post was made?

Is it possible to align text to the right? I think I remember seeing it done before but I might also just be mistaken.

If you mean like a markup code for right alignment (similar to bold) not at the moment, but I will look into adding it (without breaking too much with css.

I'll have a look at the javascript to see what might have happened.
Does this happen each time on your browser, or was this a one off? If happens each time what browser do you use?

No The "View all" and "Last n Post" Works fine. its the "Go to top" As well as the "Go to bottom" Buttons.

I'll do some investigation to see if there is a workaround (I haven't gotten to it yet). Worst case I'll add some javascript that does the scrolling. I assume it is Safari browser (only one I can remember that don't work as of now with the "Go to top/bottom" links).

Just a question, but can I get an ETA for getting the archive back up? Thanks for doing the update btw, it all looks nice

The old threads can be loaded now, only thing that is missing is a way to browse through them.
Aiming for better than what was, but as an quick fix I can create a list similar to how it was in old code while I work on a better system. So by tomorrow I should be able to have a simple list up and running.

While I generally am support of things being as user friendly as possible, I also appreciate there being a certain learning curve to using this site. It needn’t be too intuitive. The learning curve keeps normies at bay, and ensures that the site will only be used by those with enough patience and intelligence to figure out how it works. Like solving a puzzle in order to unlock a door. Not that I am against improving the site but this is omething that you might take into consideration.

There is something to be said for not making things too easy especially since most of our new arrivals cant even be sussed to read the OP of the very obvious newfag thread, which even when collapsed displays the policy page in a very obvious and deliberately labelled link.

Regarding JFIF files and user having problems uploading them. JFIF is supported and most likely reason for problem is that either the file is a different image format (that is unsupported) or that it is corrupted. You can try using Gimp or another editor to view image properties on the image you have trouble uploading to make sure it is an JPEG image. If it says JPEG and you still have trouble please use this thread or create another one on >>>/qa/ to continue inquiring about it.
Going to do a little maintenance hopefully it won't take too long or affect site too much.
The thread >>>/mlpol/282598 → Anonfilly Thread - Playtime Edition, has currently 722 posts, it passed the bumping limit; however it is my understanding that it should bump either way in the /overboard/ view, but it is not happening.
>>5257
The change I made was that only pinned threads will keep on bumping in /overboard/ after they pass bumplimit. This is because pinned threads are not at top of /overboard/ as they would be on their respective boards.

I see I have made an error somewhere along the way regarding the anchor links (not sure when I added the error that made anchor links break). But all should be good now and Top, Bottom and Post anchor links should work now. Sorry for the problems people have had using them, or more correctly trying to unsuccessfully use them.

If you could implement the random image banners/christmas things to redirect or load with some specific url set, that would be nice. I see a cute one i want to save, but trying to save it just saves a completely random one.
>>5268
The Christmas images are all fetched from Ponerpics (searched for Christmas). I would recommend getting them from there as the images used in lower right corner is made smaller and optimized for faster load so they are not the best quality. But I will look into adding an fixed url that can be used for the random images.

Going to do a small update to the code and server today, so there might be a small amount of downtime at one point. Going to try to coordinate downtime with lull in posting, but wanted you all to know just in case.
Also as always report any errors you encounter after update, but hopefully I won't fuck up and there won't be any to report.

If you refer to the rewrite this OP is about that has been completed and have been running on the site for a long time. If you refer to the cleanup of the new code (version 2 if you like) I'm not sure when that will be done, but it is going forward.
