I see I have introduced a bug with diceroll so rolls are not made. Will fix it soon. Sorry for inconvenience. [1d10]

Hello Pupper, I've encountered a bug that appears when I open a link in a new tab. When I do so the options that I've selected seem to disappear, but only when I do that. If I click on a link normally all the options stay. It seems to only be occurring with Firefox, it kept the options intact with Pale Moon.

>>5915
Is this specific options or all options?
I did quick test on FireFox and was not able to reproduce it. Did some simple option changes (theme change, embed links, etc.) and custom css which all carried over when opening up a new tab.
Do you have any plugins that sandboxes tabs or similar on FireFox?

>>5916
>Is this specific options or all options?
All of them.

>Do you have any plugins that sandboxes tabs or similar on FireFox?
That's most likely it, I've got a lot of security-minded options changed in about:config so it would the appear to be more on my end. Apologies, and thanks for the quick response. Maybe I can tool around with it sooner or later and see if I get the same error.

Thinking about doing a little server maintenance tomorrow so there might be a short downtime at one point, but hopefully it won't last long (hopefully at most a few minutes). Nothing is set in stone regarding maintenance, but just a little heads up in case I find time to do it.

>>5998
Any word on a new and accurate policy?
checkem

>>5998
Thanks for the heads up

I'm just trying to clarify, is that a 'no' on making an accurate, consistent, and enforceable policy?
It's fine, I am just looking for clarification if possible.
Do users and staff have any actual guidelines? Is there any standard, or is there a very deliberate double-standard (meaning, who 'we' like and who 'we' dont like)?

Wrong thread newfag.

>>6001
Nigger, will you piss off already? Derailing other threads is not going to get you what you want. Make a new thread, ffs.

>>6003
Well, being as last time I got banned and shit, pardon me for refusing your 'good graces'
A shame, when carefully obfuscated wrongdoings are given the light of day. Oh, but not for me!

>>6004
>when carefully obfuscated wrongdoings are given the light of day
Projecting much? Hah?

>>6005
Lol, havent checked /qa/ much?

Can there be a function to "Favourite" threads, always seeing them at the top of the site over your non-favourite threads whether they were recently posted in or not?

>>6004
I don't care what you got banned for. Stop shitting up every other thread. The rest of us are trying to be productive here, and getting derailed isn't helpful.

>>6007
Did we ever have the option to watch threads on this site? I might be imagining it, but I feel like I had threads I was watching years ago.

>>6008
So your solution is to ignore the issue and hope it goes away? Yeah, that's staff's solution too
>>6009
Yes, watched threads was a thing in the old code

>>6011
Wtf are you talking about? Post links plz

>>6011
>So your solution is to ignore the issue and hope it goes away?
The issue is in your head. With professional help and a bit of luck you might overcome your obsession.

>>6013
>textbook narcissistic gaslighting
>>6012
Check the /qa/ rules and policy threads

>>6007
I will look into adding this functionality to the code. I will have to do some experimenting on how to best implement it as I never used the watchlist myself. But making it so the selected threads gets on top of board pages and overboard is not a bad idea, just have to find a way to make it work in a good way.

>>6011
So your solution is to shitpost aimlessly and disrupt other people's conversations until it somehow goes your way?
Great job. I'm sure that will work.

>>6017
You can advise a better strategy than sunlight as a disinfectant?

>>6018
Politely.

>>6018
You've been doing this for weeks and you've failed to produce any results other than pissing everyone off. It's not working.

>>6018
>>6019
>>6020
Not pissing me off due to below resons.
Fucking lost an hours worth of carefully crafted words.
There's two different view points.
One is in the trees the other is the extremely wide forest.
This place is built on an honor systems, because of trust.
At the moment everything is fine. And it's ONLY fine.
The whole place is democracy based (without someone akin to Atlas) so it takes forever for anything is occur based on policy and rules.
Those rules are a mere formality that everyone is on the same page and is honoring everyone else and is respecting the trust by everybody.
Discipline means jack except in extremes, and due to the speed and amount of users. Which is a large amount /mlpol/ vets. Losing someone on a site of this size hurts enough to be felt.

You're both antagonizing eachother and it's basically fixed with talking, friendship, and some shitposting. Mostly the first two.
So you're in a deadlock because he doesn't know what's going on and has heard jack and seen nothing done on the policy page for the honor contract shit.
Nothing's happening 'cause on the day to day staff wise nothing is and has happened.
The perspectives have to be flipped so a proactive approach would be more valuable.

That's an opinion and speculation.

No need. Everything is fine.

Aaaah, that eternal pessimist.

Again poner, relax, friendship will prevail.

>>6024
Not my post actually, I was citing it to suggest that theres more perspectives than mine, the people touting friendship while telling me to kill myself which totally isnt staff btw, and the
>pic related
This could have been resolved years ago, simply by making the words in the policy page true. Whether means amending the policy OR adhering to it IDGAF. And no, 'Nah' isnt an acceptable response.

>>6025
>over the top insistence
>hyper sensible aka thin skinned poster
>unreasonable expectations
>And no, 'Nah' isnt an acceptable response.
Nah.
To keep yourself fixated in a meaningless policy page is absurd. There so much shitposting to make and so many ponies to post.

>>6026
Wait, the policy page really is meaningless? The policy page is supposed to be a place where the staff make promises to the users, promises they intend to keep.

>>6026
Yah dun fucked up

>>6027
>Wait, the policy page really is meaningless?
It is for me, as I do my duties regularly and I do not cause trouble to my fellow poners.
In other words, I'm not a troublemaker and therefore I do not need to check myself or others against the site's policy.

>>6028
The reason why is that there is zero reason not to change the policy page.
So yes it is 'useless' but that's with any given value. Changing it seems like a watse of time and if it is What the fuck is all the fuss about? Like dude it's three lines at most to reflect the new current situation. I understand throwing of invaders, but if it's useless give me a break.
I'll write the damn thing by copy and pasting what's been said in the various threads.
>>6030
Yes, but that's how trouble starts in paradise. Whatever since it doesn't matter I'll just post the 'new and improved' html in the change thread or something later.

>>6025
You know, some of us agree that the policy page needs to be fixed, but you shitting up other threads like an autist is counterproductive.

>>6030
That's a really bluepilled response too though, ngl.
Shitting up threads is one thing, but acting completely complacent is another.
>>6026
The policy page is absolutely meaningful.
>>6018
Shitposts is not exposure. You are absolutely not helping anyone like this

>>6032
I'll be happy to rest my case when the situation is resolved. I've already lost friends and acquaintances over this. Aside from the occasion zing, if you think this is fun for me you can divest yourself of that idea

>>6034
Your shitposting has already effectively derailed threads that were actually about amending the policy page, and plenty others. Don't kneecap other posters' discussions for whatever it is you're trying to do.

>>6035
People want a discussion about the policy page? Sweet, can it happen now?

>>6036
I wanted that. I still want that. I want it done productively.
Make another thread.

could the oekaki tool be updated to take advantage of the emojis as stamps and also dice rolls somehow?

>>6231
I have been trying to look for a better oekaki tool, but been unsuccessful in my searches, but been a while since I last looked. I will do a new search and test out the ones I find; could be that a new search will yield something that is usable, or that I will concede and sit down and try to make something. But making one from scratch is less likely as it probably will take a bit more work than desired, and would result in less paint tools than the current one has.
Not sure what you mean regarding implanting a diceroll into a paint tool.

>>6232
im thinking that perhaps it would work by you placing a dice roll on the regular post box and then being able to tie the results of that roll to a "stamp"(more like placeholder) that you can place on the oekaki, and when you make the post it rolls and places the result both on the oekaki and the text post itself
also being able to quote text from posts and even dice rolls from others in the oekaki might be nice.

>>6233
also i think that the dice placeholder should be automatically always on top in case people try to fudge the roll somehow

>>6234
4chan's /i/ uses https://github.com/desuwa/tegaki it has:
drawing size from 1x1 to 9999x9999(or at least that is what 4chan allows)
replay animation
50% 100% 200% 400% 800% 1600% zooms
3 pages of colors(no more, not even custom input)
brush size from 1 to 64 pixels
opacity from 0 to 100
add layer, remove layer, merge layers, move layer up, move layer down
25 layer limit, numbers start at 1, not 0(you might want to change that)
new image button that asks width and height of the new pic
open image button that allows you to open images and draw on them
export button that allows you to save the image directly without posting and then saving the result
undo button(also doable with ctrl+z), redo button(also doable with ctrl+y)
close button, finish button
pressure control of size and/or opacity option
preserve alpha option
pencil, pen, airbrush, bucket, tone, pipette, blur, eraser
indicator of it recording the replay

you currently have https://github.com/websanova/wPaint which has:
undo button, redo button, clear button
rectangle and elipse tools(tegaki does not have this)
line and pencil
text imput(tegaki CERTAINLY does not have this)
eraser, bucket
bucket color picker, stroke with selector from 1 to 10, color picker for everything else
if you are to tweak one of them, id go with tweaking tegaki by adding the few tools from wPaint that tegaki lacks.

testing a few things
[1d1-99999 = -99998]
[-1d1]

>>6259
>[diceroll]
intardesting...
[diceroll]what im saying by that post is that you should add negative dices, see exotic weapon part of pic, although even is there where no system that utilized negative rolls, having it would be a really neat feature of the system making it capable to go to a minimum of -1999998... i think[/diceroll]
oh and [1d0 = 1] [diceroll]0d1=0{}[/diceroll] [diceroll]0d0=0{}[/diceroll] [1d1+0 = 1] [1d1-0 = 1] [1d1 = 1] [1d1-1 = 0] [1d1-2 = -1] testing some more

>>6260
huh, the [diceroll][/diceroll] can't be inputted manually, neat anticheat
and by my newer tests it seems your system isn't happy displaying 0 as a result of 0 dices and also not that euphoric to show negative values, which in my opinion ought to be inputted as [-1d1] and shown as *dice pic*[-1d1 = -1]... perhaps in blue(000088)?
mainly due to the positive=red, negative=blue that magnets have, and the following quite likely will be read as dumb, but could you make it so that either/and a [0d*any number here*(with perhaps a + or -999999)] or a result of 0 has the color 008800?
im mainly saying this because if + is 880000 and - is 000088 that leaves 008800 unused, and that slightly bothers me, but its completely fine if you don't... and to sound greedy on top of dumb(although im quite certain that i have gone WELL beyond the line of what is palatable to request with the following), how about a completely random dice? as in random +/- dice amount, dice digit and +/-0 to 999999 with the rainbow shift of >>6180 as it's color? as for the syntax, how about [rdr&r](which could stand for RainbowDashRoll) and the obvious variants of [rd1&1], [1dr&1], [1d1&r], [rdr&1], [rd1&r], [1dr&r])?, the "&" is to randomize the addition or subtraction since [rdr+r] or [rdr-r] might be wanted, and to be fancy the 6 variants that aren't [rdr&r] could have color shifts based on the other mane 6(+spike?),
and the other 47 variants(iv'e counted them and put them out in a diagram, im sorry) could have color shifts based on other ponies(perhaps 7 of them to the filly gang+little league????)
here is the full unique random dice combination diagram, again sorry for letting my stupidity flow
[rdr&r], [rd1&1], [1dr&1], [1d1&r], [rdr&1], [rd1&r], [1dr&r]
[rdr+r], [rd1+1], [1dr+1], [1d1+r], [rdr+1], [rd1+r], [1dr+r]
[rdr-r], [rd1-1], [1dr-1], [1d1-r], [rdr-1], [rd1-r], [1dr-r]
[+rdr&r], [+rd1&1], , , [+rdr&1], [+rd1&r]
[-rdr&r], [-rd1&1], [-1dr&1], [-1d1&r], [-rdr&1], [-rd1&r], [-1dr&r]
[+rdr+r], [+rd1+1], , , [+rdr+1], [+rd1+r]
[+rdr-r], [+rd1-1], , , [+rdr-1], [+rd1-r]
[-rdr+r], [-rd1+1], [-1dr+1], [-1d1+r], [-rdr+1], [-rd1+r], [-1dr+r]
[-rdr-r], [-rd1-1], [-1dr-1], [-1d1-r], [-rdr-1], [-rd1-r], [-1dr-r]
the 9 "missing" are because it's as unnecessary to mark a regular number of dices as positive as it is to add the random dice, if i'm honest, but i might as well request.

>>6260
>>6261
Yep I see there is a bug in the dice system when it comes to displaying negative results, and that a dice roll of zero dices should not be performed. I'll look into the other portions regarding dicerolls you mention, but have to read it more thoroughly.
Thanks for doing the testing and finding the bug. I will fix and update the code so negative dice rolls also shows up.

>>6262
>and that a dice roll of zero dices should not be performed
i think it should, but it should always spit zero... or perhaps to give it utility, it could spit out some random phrases based on taking the 0 as a one(so only one phrase) and taking the dn+/-N as variables(which could be "r", [0dr&r], etc etc...) and -0 could be sad/gloomy/negative phrases, this also jives well with my request of making it (008800)green, since you know:
>green
this could in turn be taken as a more useful(?) version of the fortune option of 4chan's /s4s/, although me mentioning that might have just made the idea look to you as a "definitely hard pass, if anything perhaps(P.E.R.H.A.P.S) the always 0, but no random phrases, we want zero to none spammadge, thank you very much"
or just to be silly: 0d/-0d(regardless of the other parameters on the roll)= 0 and -0 respectively, and 00d/-00d is the phrase thing(which i might add, both the green color and 0/00 thing would put them in line with an american roulette in terms of aesthetic)
ALSO: i saw that over at 8chan.moe they don't have an oekaki tool, and so after making the request here(>>6231 its me) i made an as poorly written as >>6231 request on there(https://8chan.moe/site/res/134.html#3194)
then later i wrote https://8chan.moe/site/res/134.html#q3213 a more thorough version of >>6235, you might want to check it
for among the things i requested over there is for the moe devmod to get in contact with you so that you can work together on the oekaki tool instead of ether of you having to do it by themselves, that being said he will be occupied with the 2.6 update for a while, so you should talk to him and see when he is available
oh and according to both the 8moe devmod and wolfram alpha 1d0 should give 0 as the answer(https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+0+face+dice+roll+chance), currently does [1d0 = 1] that being said wolfram doesn't give me anything for 0d(says the number of dice should be a positive integer), i'd still say the result should be zero though because you are rolling zero sided nothing(which only different from a zero sided something by the fact that is nothing, it is still 0 sided)
[16d0 = 16] [1d1+1 = 2] [2d1 = 2] and a few tests i did on moe but not here
...and a few more things that just came to my mind:
could you add the shift JIS art font and the [aa][/aa] selector?(either with the Mona or MS PGothic(ＭＳ Ｐゴシック) fonts(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_(font))), and remember that the line height should be 1.1 on the css for the [aa] rule(at least that is how 8moe has it configured)
a selector [wolf][/wolf] that applies the wolfentsein font to the text with the color 4D5D53(Feldgrau) to be the counterpart of the [doom][/doom] text they have over at 8moe?, and i must say that i would not be opposed to doomtext here as well(i don't lean one way or another for the [moe][/moe] sparkle effect they have there, i mean i don't dislike it but i also wont insist on it being added here)
another selector that changes the text color to 6a1de2 AND shrinks it by the same amount as red text(what you call heading on the help menu) grows it, so reg=1.0em, redtext=1.1em and tinytext=0.9em?(its something 8kun has that here doesn't and since i suggested it on 8kun during the loli fiasco as small text, i see no problem requesting this of you) and id say [t][/t] for tiny text is a good selector
testing (((echoes))) and ///slope\\\(like ((())) but for chinese), and i must say, since you can change the color of the text here, how about also changing the color of its background?(like what those selectors do, at least on 8moe)
testing LaTeX support \LaTeX $$\LaTeX$$ [$]\LaTeX[/$] (i personally think that [$]...[/$] should be the way to go to implement it)
and i think you should link to here trough the ponerpics header(like you do from here to there), although i freely admit that this might be my dumbest request yet
thanks again for your time.

>>6260
Think I got all the bugs with dice roll fixed.
I also added the option to do multiple rolls (up to three rolls).
[2d10-1d6 = (10-4) = 6]

>>6299
neat

I'm not sure if this is really a bug, but Archived threads clutter up the search results. Is there a "Don't show archived threads" option when searching?

>>6315
I will look into adding this option to the search.

>>>/mlpol/322722 →
Just a bug (or a feature) so you know. So it still opens up the post and the good news it doesn't add a post number next to the post in question. The other part of the oddness is that the post retains the colorized underline.
[color #00f[u>>6314[/u[/color
>>6314

>>6325
Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into the error with the post number not being added to "quoted by". It should have been added, but I guess I have made a small oversight in the regex used for adding "quoted by" to posts.

>quoted by
*cited by

This is more of a question regarding of NPFchan. Would mind telling my why did store all the files in the archive table as mediumtext? Because of this, there's no way I can't properly access the uri of the files in that string.
I'm trying to modifying the archive class and how it handles, but without success so far without messing up with previous archived threads.
I really liked how you handled your archive like it was a catalog, but I can't fetch the OP's thumb or even the json of the thread because of the json_scramble. Can you give me a light in the right direction?

>>6331
Been a long time since I worked with NPFChan. The scrambled json can be turned off in setting and is not needed at all (unless you want it, but it was never fully hashed out and polished feature). The way NPFChan saved the archive was that it just saved the html files generated as I remember and copied the accompanying files (not sure what it kept in the database if anything except the thread info). It didn't do any alterations of the files (except fix the links in the html to the new locations) from what I remember. But to be fully frank I can't remember how I coded it all for the archive - part of the problem remembering is that there was a two tier archive system set up (that evolved over time). If you turn off the scrambling of json, and easiest next step is perhaps to creating a script that reads the json files one by one (in the archive) get the thread id from it and rename or save a copy with the correct thread id.

Can the Overboard get a clickable button at the bottom of the screen that loads the next page? Sometimes it doesn't register that I've scrolled down enough or completely.

Why cant we upload .webp images?

>>6434
>Can the Overboard get a clickable button at the bottom of the screen that loads the next page?
I will look into adding this.

>>6447
>Why cant we upload .webp images?
I haven't added support for it, but I will look into adding support for the webp format. Only verified fileformats are accepted after analysing the filecontent. Reason I did it this way was to prevent every imaginable file format to safeguard users and to be able to handle Exif stripping as best as possible. So I will have to look into how exif is embedded in webp and how to strip it. And as always can only do my best to do this but can't guarantee that all exifdata is removed from every possible way it is embedded in various file formats.

>I have been a bit busy and been slacking a bit in the coding as I am doing rewrite (cleanup) and at the same time maintaining the current so working on two codesets at the same time.

>>6448
What if the site converted uploaded .webps into jpgs before hosting them on the site?

>>6449
It is an option that I can look into. I don't like to change the uploaded files since uploader probably intended it to be in the format they wanted and might loose quality be converting etc. Only time I change file extension is in cases the uploaded file has wrong extension like changing .png to a .jpg or visa versa as an example. But it is an possibility, but I would have to add an extra step in the upload process and convert image so I have to look at the code and how it is done. As code is now it is likely easier for me to look into potential exif data in webp and see if Taglib and/or Exiftool supports it (and if there is any custom cleaning needed as addition).

How do I shut this goddamn snow off? Its lagging out my mobile

>>6451
To manually turn it off you can go to Options and User CSS and add

.container-extra-4 {
display: none;
}

but snow should be turned off soon as the celebrations comes to an end.

>The extra field might be used for other things in the future so it is not just for the snow. It was just an convenient field I added it to when I was scrambling to make some festivities for Christmas.

>>6452
Thanks. Goddamn was a little harsh, I was frustrated because I could only post so much before the text would take 3 sec per character added, and would lag out if I had too many queued characters

>>6451
>>6453
I confirm, the snow may cause high CPU, in my case a desktop computer.

>>6453
No worries, it is understandable.

>>6453
>>6454
Yes it does raise the CPU usage by a bit more than I was hoping, but I was only intending to run it for a few days (will end today around 9pm CST). I see the snow at 4chan is using comparable CPU usage so it is the nature of CSS and animation.

Refined the Custom CSS to reduce the CPU usage a bit to lower the usage a bit more - seams like the animation runs even if not displayed so ending it after one cycle will stop that.


.container-extra-4 {
display: none;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
}


>>6455
Thank you, the new script seems to work nicely

>>6455
Im not sure if its a bug or not, but the Oekaki tool isnt on the quick reply window.

>>6583
It's not on the 4chan /i/ window either, iirc. Probably not a bug.

>>6583
It is not on the Quick Reply since it was troublesome to get it in there in current form (would have had to add big drawing area to the quick reply). In the new code I plan on changing Oekaki to the same one used on /i/ and I will try to get it on the Quick Reply and also add option to draw on images added. But I'm not at that point in the code yet.

No biggie, but moving threads resets the posting time/date of all posts to the time it was moved.

>>6624
Yes, the move function in current code is not too good.
Moving of threads/posts is one of the areas I will totally redo and fix in the rewrite/cleanup I'm doing. Another aspect I will fix regarding Moving threads is that the post links gets updated to the correct new post links (so I don't have to manually fix them after move).
Moving threads never worked that well in the old code either (NPFChan), so moving threads/posts is something that always have been used very rarely.

We had small incident of downtime. Hopefully it didn't cause too much inconvenience.

>>6627
It scared me the hell out.

>>6629
Not sure what the reason was. Server stopped responding.
The server might just have had a Derp moment, but all looks good now.

Fixed small bug regarding posting links and getting false positive "Spam detected" alert.

>>6631
That's good news. It's annoying getting flood detected every few minutes when I'm dumping images.

Updated a major part of the code hoping I fixed the bug that caused server to not respond. If you notice anything that isn't working as it should please let me know.

>>6658
>I fixed the bug that caused server to not respond
Yup, I got that problem. Last time was 10 minutes ago.

>>6659
Last one you experienced might have been when i took down server shortly to activate the new code. But hopefully the change I did to the code will make the site more responsive and not have the occasional slow to respond as happened from time to time.

Bug: There is no "Whole words only" option in the search menu.

Search for "ADL" and you see countless posts with the letters adl somewhere in them. Posts where someone used a word like badly, sadly, adler, and so on.

>>6679
I'd recommend add a space before or after. Pro tip " ADL " or " ADL" or "ADL ".

I have seen an OP post where there were links provided to lolicon websites. The post was since deleted, but the post itself may have taken a while to be deleted from the catalog. Is there any reason for this?

So what's the point? Are you also a lawyer giving legal advice?
The 'under the hood' stuff is better left in the dark as proprietary knowledge for the time being. Maybe not, in any case not my call.
>I do,
Then you ahould understand the trials and tribulations associated with any content hosting from third parties.
So there may be multitudes of any kind of reasons and different solutions to problems. The ugly gritty details are by nature just handled. Some technical, some biological, some in human fallibility, some in human intuition, some by mechanical check sums, or any other possibility. Maybe it's communication time, maybe it's time taken to type and double check that really is the post who knows.
Maybe it's something else completely.
You can speculate, but that doesn't solve anything. Nor is speculation how you quickly and efficiently and robustly solve these kinds of happenstances.
If you do undertand you also may understand what kind of responsibilities you have and don't have, and the current available actions at hand.
In any case it's only worth a theoretical programming-lite thread in and of itself for stand alone projects.
Or even a theoretical law thread.
Wait.
>may have taken
So you don't know. That looks awfully alot like legal bait.

>So what's the point? Are you also a lawyer giving legal advice?
>The 'under the hood' stuff is better left in the dark as proprietary knowledge for the time being. Maybe not, in any case not my call.
I’m not a lawyer giving legal advice, but there may be a case where server owners and/or administrators are strictly liable for forbidden content hosted on their servers. This means that no matter the explanation, they are responsible for it, no excuses.
>inb4 “That also sounds like legal bait!”
I have taken a course in business law, but I don’t have a law license nor do I plan on getting one anytime soon. Ask a real lawyer if you want the kind of stuff you are suggesting I’m giving.
>Then you ahould understand the trials and tribulations associated with any content hosting from third parties.
>So there may be multitudes of any kind of reasons and different solutions to problems.
And none of them may matter in a lawsuit or prosecution such as the one that I had previously suggested could occur. In fact, it could only mean that far worse problems could be caused as a result of this “virtual bureaucracy”, such as the continued spread of viruses or worms long after they would have been allegedly been deleted.

Can you add a "Sort by newest" and "sort by oldest" option to the Search function?

>>6714
I wonder what are you looking for.

>>6714
Going to look into adding that (should be easy to add that function).

Fixed small bug where posting without body would fail. Hopefully not too many were affected by this.
Working on the AAC file detect addition but have to spend a little time on it in case other already uploaded files would be affected by change.

>>7085
Updated code so AAC should now be detected and correctly assigned to file extension. I kept all current potential AAC files already uploaded as MP3 since I will have to write a script to check all files and update the database to reflect this (something I probably will do in conjunction with next version of board code).

Did some updates on the server. Hopefully the short downtime didn't affect too many people and that everything is running as it should now.
Please let us know if something isn't working as it should.

>>7151
/mlpol/ was offline around 45 minutes - ERROR 503.
Now it looks like is working fine.

Added option to automatically check the Hide Flag checkbox in Option for those who want that. Also fixed so when checked it is not reset on posting reply. Let me know if there is any problems using it.

Much, much appreciated.

Pupper, threads randomly won't bump, neither in the Overview or Catalog.
It happened again just a few minutes ago.
In the Corona thread, post >>352419 was made at 00:44:14 and it didn't bump.
On top of it are:
- Humor Thread: post >>352416 at 23:58:42
- Cultural Marxism and Derivated anti-White activity: post >>352417 at 00:06:22

sage is not a bug
>but found another bug investigating this that is unrelated (so reporting this was not unfruitful)

>>7282
B-but the sage wasn't shown in the replay. I'll keep you posted if I found another stuck thread.

>>7284
No sage in the post.

>>7285
Sage don't need to go in all fields. The sage in all fields is just a meme because many don't know where to put it.
The semi-unrelated bug I found was that if a post came after the saged' post and it was deleted the sage would not be applied and would bump the thread. So it was not a loss looking into it, but will probably not fix until next version of code unless I find time to add the change into current.

>>7286
>Sage don't need to go in all fields.
I missed that one.

>>7287
It never did. It's the same as 4chan. That was just a meme perpetuated by a handful of Anons who wanted to express their distaste for certain threads, and a few smoothbrains who use it in response to certain posts (as if you can sage a post).
Personally I never liked it, because announcing sages is obnoxious, imo. Sage is supposed to be a method to reply to shitty threads without bumping that thread to give it undeserved attention, and to prevent sliding good threads; it is not a downvote.

>>7285
That's my post. I can confirm it was saged.
I sage on this board a lot, mostly out of habit. I generally sage threads by default unless I consciously find a reason to bump it. It's a habit I brought from trying to maintain quality on 4/pol/ to avoid slide threads that I still have even after all these years.

>but why would you sage that thread?
I saved it because it is a general, and since it is a general it will inevitably get bumped, and therefore it does not need my help to bump it. It's just what I do.

one can copypaste emoji from posts which is good, but one can't search for them in a thread using ctrl+f, for example search :anon and see if this anonfilly emoji is highlighted, it wont be

Add colored and different shaped dice (hexagonal, octagonal etc like in d&d) and adding a RPG tile and changing the /a/ tile name from anime and manga to anime, cartoon, Comics and manga. Entering a password starting with a number. Creating a flag option and creating a Fediverse with channels on AllChans.

This site posts the name of youtube videos but not shorts. Will there be an update that displays the names of shorts?

>>7337
>shorts
That is for phonefags.

>>7337
I will look into adding shorts and see if there is oembed data available for shorts.

>>7337
Updated JS so shorts should be correctly embedded now.

This site embeds Twitter links, but not nitter links.

>>7291
Don't look like there is a good way to do that, one would hope browsers would use alt text on images for search but they don't. I will do some testing and checking if there is a way but the ones I've tested won't "highlight" image only say there is a text matching the text and roughly where it is.

Why not make a /b/ board and an /rp/?

>>7487
Our /b/ board is /sp/.
I have been asking for an RP board for years. Currently it goes to /vx/, but I'm not satisfied with that at all.

Are you going to add the editing option?

>>7569
Any edit option should have a time limit so no Jews can make a post, wait for it to get replies saying "I agree", and edit that post to say "I want to eat babies and kicking puppies is fun!" and screenshot this.

>>7569
Posts are set in stone
One may destroy the stone, though

>>7629
I never liked post editing even when the mods did it (especially when they did it, tbh). If a post is faulty, just delete it and post again.

>>7469
It would appear that posting on tor is broken at the moment, unsure if that's a bug or a feature.

Pupper, the following nigger is using a scrip that can bypass the anti-flooding code.

>>8266
He's jewish tho. Nothing goyim trash can fight against.

Typo policy staff rule 4 subsection last: change every to ever.

The search feature is not working. Back to jewgling "horsepussy" site:mlpol.net

>>5911
I want to say, thanks for all the hard work on the site pupper.

>>9112
He really is bestest boi.

>>9110
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Search should be up and running now.

>>9112
>>9113
Thank you both for the kind words.

You know what it is.

Theres no "bat" or "thestral" tag on Ponerpics. It would prolly be complicated.

>>9116
Nm there is, its just not under the species list
Cuz racism

>>9117
Sheeeeeeeit
