If you resize the Quickreply dialog box itself (lower left corner) the comment box will resize with it. I know it is not the most optimal UX.

Maybe it would be a good idea to stop allowing pdfs for a while because others are going to be inspired by the 4chan hack.

We're not susceptible to the same attack that 4chan was when it comes to PDFs. Our way to handle PDFs is more akin to a file storage service. We don't process PDF files other than checking that it is a PDF file and scanning it for viruses.

I may be retarded, but it seems like archived threads aren't really marked in any way. I had https://mlpol.net/poner/65 open in a tab for a while, and I went to post there just now and got a message saying "thread is archived".
But not only is that not visible anywhere on the page itself, but the autorefresh timer is still running, "refreshing" the thread every 5 seconds. And reloading the page doesn't do anything.
I think that if /poner/ really picks up speed and threads might start archiving regularly, this could be worth looking at. As a more precise to-do list of what a user might expect:
>favicon changing so the tab is visible as archived
>the page text saying "archived" instead of e.g. "page 10"
>the auto-update automatically stopping, the manual refresh button getting disabled, and possibly this also saying "archived" (for reference, 4chanx writes that in red text)
Speaking of favicons, I remember someone mentioning that the icon for threads with (You)s is almost indistinguishable from threads with just unread posts, but apparently it wasn't in this thread. Either way bumping that anon's point, it's nice being able to see at a glance if you got (You)ed in any open tab.
And one very minor extra unrelated suggestion would be having a posts/posters/images/page display near the top of the thread also, not just at the very bottom, so that you can see it immediately when opening a thread rather than only once you've already read every post anyway.
Again for a 4chanx reference it puts it in the sticky header on the right (so next to the Options button currently), which is even nicer since you can see it at a glance from anywhere, but I'm not picky. (4chanx also adds a red notification if you got (You)ed anywhere in any other thread but that would have to come after a thread watcher implementation kek.)

There was some spam so might have been that it pushed it off into archives. One of the spam preventions is that if catalog is spammed to hell the catalog and therads will be restored when spam is removed. But I will look into if there is a better way to do it (but might take time to tweak that due to more work on underlying code).
I will look into tweaking the notification favicon for (you)s. And the other Quality of Life suggestions.

Oh huh. The thing is that thread isn't "restored" yet, I can't reply to it and it's not showing up on the catalog, so I'm a bit confused about what you mean.
>I will look into tweaking the notification favicon for (you)s. And the other Quality of Life suggestions.
Warm thanks. I really appreciate the dev effort you're putting in to fix all of these little things so fast.

Let me check.
Oh, it is in the Archive - reading is hard. Thought you said it was in the catalog and missed the "not" part.
It should have said "Archived", so not sure why it says "Page 10". I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know about it.

What's the filesize limit here? If not then I'm adding it as a suggestion.
I noticed on 8moe that they have a file size upload of 50mb, along with which files are supported. But I don't see any info for where this would be on mlpol, and I checked the help under options.

That's a decent chunk, but I still don't know where that info is found. Just by trial and error? It should be somewhere on the website UI, either under options help or the reply window.

Can we get .webp support for uploading images?
the ability to shiftclick threads on the catalog would be a nice little quality of life thing i would appreciate greatly
What is supposed to happen when you click on "No." before the post number? It highlights the post but doesn't do anything else that I'm aware of. If it copied to clipboard the link to the post (https://mlpol.net/qa/9226#9384) then that would be nice.
>>9394
just realized I can right click a post number and copy it, rather than copying the post number and editing the URL. clicking on the post number pops up a reply which is nice.
still, the "No." text before the post number seems useless.

Being in a catalog from one board and clicking a link to another board should just redirect me to that one's catalog already instead of taking me to the front page.

There's an option for that. (Though granted it's not conditional on you currently being on a catalog.)

Small thing I just noticed re:favicons: it seems that the (You) icon is not just hard to notice, but a thread updating and loading another non-(You) post after you got (You)ed actually reverts the favicon back to the default "unread posts" one. I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems to be relatively consistent.

We have disabled pdf uploads.
Our servers are, and were, not susceptible to the type of hack that took 4chan down as our code handle them with care and actually check the files. But to put people at ease and due to the nature of pdf's we have elected to disable the upload of them.

Sorry you got that error. I try to do the updates as fast as I can to prevent anyone notice. But sometimes I fall short of that goal.

This site is borderline perfect, as other anons have said it needs a decent thread watcher, if that was implemented then I'd happily make this my home board. Also massive thanks to staff and anons of mlpol for accepting us refugees, it's comfy here. The features on this site such as, lack of cuck timer+captcha and video support with audio are a real eye opener as to how shit 4chan was.

Very much looking forward to this. For me, thread watcher + dynamic post "read" status based on scrolling are the two big features that would basically make this site perfect.
With some luck, you might even be able to lift some of the frontend javascript directly from 4chanx. It's even MIT licensed.

Just to have this down in a post.
Caution is needed, to almost preemptively gatekeep against knowingly and unknowingly malicious and duplicious actors.
More users in general means bigger more worthwhile target.
Purity spirals are counterproductive, active defense is great.
I recommend considering old school tar traps, there's going to be crawlers and pseudo-ai and something strangely better roaming soon. Ignoring robots text file to extract and harvest whatever it is.

As an example but not the point.
Toppling powers and principalities through peace and love and friendship.
The best poison isn't poison, but is honey to people and doom to microbes.
Feed whatever it is, the Holy Bible, select choice cuts of shit posting, deep fryed images of ponies and Christ. A neverending buffet.
Hard times are coming. When I'm not sure, but it is coming.

Your caution is appreciated, but we're well aware. It was one thing when we were fucking nobody - a joke, a dying vestige of a one-time funny-haha - but now we're on radars, and there's lolz to be had from causing chaos and drama. Most of staff is Gen X, and are under no illusions of what is likely to transpire at some point.

I can honestly say with full confidence that our website code was more secure when I first turned the website on drunk and disorderly (thanks pupper for making actually good code) than 4chan was last week, constant security updates were always number 1, in fact I accidentally crashed the server the first week because I wanted to keep a script running for the security updates
we secure the server itself against any ssh, we keep the server code updated, there is a solid separation between our own communications and the server software, and we store NO user data, your ip addresses are on our server for 1 nanosecond before being garbled into a non-reversable encrypted bit of nonsense, the best we can know (for moderation purposes) is that two posts were made by the same person. And all the posts are backed up so they couldn't even just delete everything and leave us in shambles.
even if someone managed to somehow using voodoo magic break into the server the worst thing they could do is momentarily piss us off.

Don't know if it has already been mentioned, but for spoilered images, the original filename doesn't show when unspoilering the image (you can still save it with the original filename though).
Can I request the G5 icons to be added to : ?
Can you make a feature where you can move tangents or off topic discussions to the appropriate threads if they exist?

Testing it and there's some kind of bug.
If I hold and drag to select, it works.
If I double click on the text to select a single word, it works.
If I triple click on the text to select all of it, it doesn't work.

This has been getting me too since I'm used to scaling the quickreply from the actual input portion. The problem is we're using this site's implementation incorrectly. You need to go to the ENTIRE quickreply box's corner.
