This is a thread for all of those little features on 4chan, addons, or wherever else that you miss and would like to have here.
126 replies and 42 files omitted.

All files are scanned for viruses and uploads are checked for file-type (the code don't rely on extension given). Nothing is 100%, but I strive to do the best I can to make it secure.

It would be nice to be able to properly resize the comment box in the quick reply popup. Right now it can get really tiny and hard to read what you are writing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Going to start work on a thread watcher tomorrow. Hopefully it will not take too long getting something together. And I hope what I make will be usable and a good starting point for improvements.

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.
No rush, no worries.

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.

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).

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.
