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.

/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.

>Added option to automatically check the Hide Flag checkbox in Option for those who want that.
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:

- The Great Reset: post >>352418 at 00:31:42
- US Politics thread: >>352420 at 00:45:47

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

>>5911
Hello pupper I was wondering if there would be a way to add an option to hide threads like on 4chan?

>>9132
Click the arrow next to the OP image, click on filter, select Post+

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,...
And as brainbleach, notice how you dont have to tell Scootaloo to.do a crime, she already knows

My bad, I was operating under the dillusion that people still gave a shit. My bad

The board was down a couple of hours.

>>9176
Was an small error in config that caused it, but fixed now.
Should have hit when I made change, but somehow the code kept on trotting until an edge case triggered the error.

>>9177
Thanks.

PPH broke?

>>9221
Starting to get filled out now. Wonder if it gets reset when the site updates or something.

>>9221
THIS tuesday is markedly different than LAST tuesday

I tried making a thread and it just says "posting failed"

Found a bug with the filter. Replication steps below.

1. Load /Overboard/
2. Find a thread (Attachment 2)
3. Left Click Interaction Icon
4. Navigate to Add Filter > Post+
5. Refresh
6. Navigate to /Overboard/
7. Refresh
8. Scroll, see filtered posts (Attachment 3)
9. ???
10. Pumpkin time (Fourth attachment)

>>9261
What was the errorcode? 400?

Pdfs are allowed here. Are we sure this is safe given the 4chan attack was done using pdfs?

BUG: the catalog shows which page the thread is on, but if you navigate into the thread the status at the bottom right always shows page 1.

>>9372
I can confirm this and was just about to submit the same bug. It's at the top as well.

>>9372
>>9376
Managed to replicate it on dev computer, so know roundabout the reason. Will look into it, but have to change how a few things are done in the code. Thanks for letting me know.

>>9372
>>9376
Should be fixed now. Let me know if you notice any other bugs.

How do I "watch" a thread on this site?

>>9416
There is sadly no thread watcher at the moment, but I will look into trying to make one.
Any special features that is desired for thread watcher?

>>9420
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.

>>9511
I will do my best to make this a reality

BUG: IP change changes the poster ID even if the cookies are kept.

>>9524
Is that a bug, or working as intended?

>>9525
I think it is a bug. The thread stats says UUID, not IP. There are many residential internet connections which change IP daily. Plus whomever is on mobile will have a different IP every few hours.

>>9526
>doesn't keep track of cookies
Kinda based in a way

The Stats page is not working.

>>9517
Godspeed poner

>>9538
Sorry had introduced small bug when I tried to add an optimalization to the code. Hopefully it will work again now.

>>9553
>Hopefully it will work again now.
Yes. Thank you.

>admin sprung into action and added a word filter for the malicious site
MODS=GODS
8ch admins still haven't added a global filter.

test

>>9553
The Stats page is broken again.
