Bugs you found, and changes I made

Just thought I'd create this thread where you can post any bugs or problems with the site you encounter. And also for me to post any big changes I made.

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.

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.

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.
Anonymous

>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.

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.

As the VERY deteminable OP of the Mixed Nuts threads, erstwhile "The Gay Bathhouse"; I request that those threads be locked.
A spambot is clearly designed to bump old threads with nonsense, and they are a frequent (though not exclusive) target. There SHOULD be no reason to further post in those threads as they have run their course, so the permission to add to them isn't really necessary anymore. I certainly won't be posting to them,...

Please just work on a basic functioning one right now and make QoL updates over time, nhnb has one but it's shit and prone to breaking losing all threads watched and making it worthless. Here is the rundown of what people want with basic thread watcher. In a thread watcher the information as follows by order of importance....

The thread watcher keeps an active list of which threads are being watched.
>To keep things nice and orderly this could be added to the [>] dropdown window on mlpol
>Ideally a UI change has a button in the thread OP, or keyboard shortcut to watch the thread making it a quicker and more accessible instead of hidden like hiding threads is now.

<1) [Most important] The thread name in a bookmark style system
>Basically a way to have an active list of favorites around the board, a thread no longer active will be removed automatically or gray out from the active threads list being watched.

<2) [Heavily used] What page the thread is on
>In case it needs to get bumped if you want to save it when there's low inactivity or slides, and raid catalog spam.
>Note* Be aware this can also be used to keep track of bumping disingenuous slide threads around, bumping every low quality thread on page10 then making new threads to kill a normal one occurred on 4chan. Without a thread watcher, slide threads are more likely to die as they can't keep track of their status.
>Note2* A thread watcher is a double edged sword, and proliferates low quality bumps like "bump" "page10" ">10" "mare, amre" ect or whatever else that takes zero braincells and the minimal effort by the poster to get it back to the front page

<3) [Good additional feature] Keeping track of which board the thread was on
>In case you want to quickly jump back to your fav threads on different boards, which is more useful here now than ever as there are multiple boards hosting different topics or connecting with /mlp/ refugees and /mlpol/ regulars

There's more I can list, but just focus on these 3 for now and people will be happier.

same with (you) notifications. Before you know it, it turns into reddit. I quit X-chan because I was paranoid about browser fingerprinting and realized that it's better to post without it.
thread watchers and (you) notifications proliferate egoposting and dick measuring contests where anons are no longer trying to engage in intellectual discourse for the sake of truth--they simply want to one up each other at all cost. When you contribute to a thread, you partake in a discussion about the thread's topic: it's about the topic, not your ego or you trying to be right and proving everyone else wrong. No, you're there to contribute meaningful thought for the benefit of the bread. If you need a thread watcher or (you) notifications, you're more interested in what people think of your thoughts rather than unspooling the thread and see where the discussion leads. It enables selfish posters and we need less of those.

The thread watcher counts your own reply as a new unread message.

It should only count new replies after the bottom of the auto updater. and it's not really updating properly. For instance, if I look at this thread, there is no new replies but the thread watcher is still showing (2) unread after hitting the bottom of the page.

this bug still exists where filter resets after a while and filtered threads are seen again

My version:
1. Refresh catalog
2. See shit you don't want to see
3. Open thread of shit that you don't want to open or see so you can add Post+ filter without extra manual work.
4. Refresh catalog and don't see unwanted shit anymore
5. Do something else for a while
6. Refresh catalog
7. Jump to 2. due filters have reset.

Secondly:
regexp/text filters don't work at all.
