Hey Grady... Thanks, and I have done all that stuff. Yellow card just sticks a message up on your screen for a few days saying that you have been yellow carded and why (well, whatever the mod chooses to fill in).

Keith----

I'm lovin it

Got no voice anywhere since I hardly post, but I honestly think the log is a gerat idea. back in the UUSSR

Matt P.

j/k on the last half of that shitty post. I'm really glad you worked on the admin log even though you didn't think it would do anything. I dunno if it will do anything either, but i never see anything else so you know it will quell my v. important worries.

btw i am deeznuts

awesome Keith, thanks!

do we all get our own secret bord?

But you've already got one Jhosh! How many do you want!

can i have secret board #80?

can i have secret board #99

^^keith can you do this and make it so only deeznuts can post there/ thats the only place he can post?

it's gonna be more like sekrit borad #53408721

Well see, after Crutis's hacking stunt, I changed it to make borad IDs random, so it's more like secret bord #98743562534!

x-post this would be like banning him, wouldn't it?

xx-post

it was gonna be a no-invite board but i disagree with the latter half of gr8080s query

From my point of view, as many people can have broads as want them. I put in two things to help with this, customising site new answers to just show what you want, and colouring board threads on that page, also made there a kind of folder/board structure on the front page so that we can keep it neat and tidy.

Oh you can also subscribe to email notifications of changes on boards - this is really for the smaller boards that don't get many posts, to notify you of changes to them.

if we have our own board are we automatically moderator of it?

No.

I would like a broad, I don't care about having a board.

do we get avatars

Err no...

change is scary

Yeah, I noticed that the last time around.

hey keith -

can we do a +/- system on posts like youtube has?

I don't think so really deeznuts. The problem is the amount of load it would add. I have thought that one through in the past; it would involve a huge amount of additional updates. Maybe if I can think of a really efficient way to do it then I will at some point, but for now, no.

I actually love this idea, but like obviously in a hilarious sarcastic way

speaking of youtube- any chance of a simple embed code?

Yeah, I've done that too

But you've already got one Jhosh! How many do you want!

my bord is not secret tho :(

are we getting unreg posting too? :)

i mean i guess its kinda secret in that no one posts on it xp

yeah no prob btw thanks keith for putting what must be really hard work into this stuff which you probably dont personally care too much about - also you should post on the boards more!

xp pre-zingd

as a former low-level programmer the thrill is in making the code run, not playing with the result! :) but yes three cheers for Keith!

Thanks...

Yeah I did to unreg, but it's kind of not possible really. Our friend Heave on the sandbox managed to prove that pretty well.

lol

heave ho, alpha tester

Well, he certainly did test it.

told you he was misunderstood

Maek sure you are sitting down for this:

I have changed "--" to "―"

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's tough, I know.

I have changed "--" to "―"

Lol trolling.

im a little concerned he might not be kidding

I am not kidding. Nothing is sacred.

You rock. How do I get to the sandbox?

keith u a hero 4 srs

hey Keith what about image limits? are we going to get to post more than three per post plzzzzzz

Well, I should leave that decision to the other mods, but what I have done is to allow it to be configurable on a per board basis (the number of images you can post), so they can sort it from there. I suspect that's a balancing trick, because one man's funny loads of images I suspect is another man's gets on their tits, but it's able to be configured anyway.

You asked about not showing the real user name for logged out users and there are a couple of things there - it's kind of hardish to do but also I'm not sure I want to. I understand why you think it'll be a laugh, but I do worry about the thing appearing intimidating to new users, which was part of my worry around changeable user names in the first instance. It certainly confused the f*** out of me for frankly years on ILX, until I discovered the option to show the login ID. The other thing is that it's a bit harder because I'm not storing the original name separately with a message, it just gets literally stuck into a database field as your current display name plus a bracketed original one; it's not in a separate field, so hard to do, and I don't really want to go into extracting it with text processing, so I'm afraid I'm not keen on that.

thanks for the explanations and the hard work

no image limits would make 77 unreadable

this poll is really buggy-- but only for people who have mod privs it seems: BEST JAMES MURPHY ANSWER FROM NEW YORK MAGAZINE

also, for sub-board mods, if a poll thread has any images in the OP, those images do not display-- this makes sense if the poll is on the board you mod, but it is site-wide. any way to fix this?

Afraid not for now... Too busy with all sorts to be doing this now, but at some point if I have some time on my hands.

Cheers,

Keith.

no prob, just wanted to make you aware :D

Also, the same error occurs for links in the OP of a poll thread. Which is a shame, I had a great Big Country poll ready to roll out.

hey keith! i assume you're not posting much because you're incredibly busy, but on the off chance you're looking at the ILX code, is there any chance you could add an unbookmark link to the top or bottom of bookmarked threads?

thanks for the unbookmark link dude!

Cheers - was just saying: No one answered this last time so maybe we can get some followthrough and get this resolved. Help help me Rhonda

whoah what happened

but yes: i will be using the unbookmark link like craaaaaaaazy

view previous page is a super good idea too

just came to say unbookmark = A+

Hey Keith!!! You rule!

i don't understand view previous page

banned users can still send webmail to non-banned users?

i don't know what i mean by that. it's just an observation!

Does it? I can't actually remember what banned users can and can't do - do you think they shouldn't be able to send webmail?

well this particular email was pretty harmless, just gabbneb being gabbneb

i can see why it would be a good idea for them not to be able to send webmail, though i guess it's not a big deal

Okay, I'll take a look at some point.

crepey

he wasn't even being crepey this time, he's . . . just nebbin'

yeah, nebber, if you want to chit-chat, you've got to leave an email address

you nebber her

waht does "view previous page" do

takes you to the previous page of a long thread

Does it? I can't actually remember what banned users can and can't do - do you think they shouldn't be able to send webmail?

― Keith, Wednesday, June 17, 2009 6:32 PM

i don't think gabbneb should be able to

gab has his manservant send webmails for him

Why is anyone giving gabbneb even the briefest passing thought at this point?

we miss him u_u

Um . . . I got a webmail from him too.

wtf!

um, that's pretty creepy

I only just thought to check after seeing Harbl's comment. It was from a different user name but definitely him as he referenced something that I said about him.

:-(

So, perhaps the biggest takeaway from this would be "stop talking about people who have been banned unless you'd like to receive emails from them".

Which, you know, the mods have said in the past and tried to enforce and were told we were being pricks over it.

he wasn't even being crepey this time, he's . . . just nebbin'

Just wanted to say that this is true for what he sent me too.

Yes Dan you're probably right. I couldn't help it! Lesson learned.

Gabneb - If you see this. I am sorry I said you wear capris if, in fact, you do not.

i'm sorry i said you were a snob even though you are

tbh i don't care if he sends emails because it made me lol, i was just surprised to hear from him

Also sorry that I spelled your un wrong in my previous post. Pls don't webmail me to correct my mistake. I've realized the error of my ways.

x-post - Yeah, same.

man why is gabbers sending all these emails to harbl and enbb and none to me

bcuz yr his biggest defender/gabbstan

I think banned users shouldn't be able to webmail ppl but let's debate that for 20-30 posts

he only sends you mails if you hurt his feelings

you have to be MEAN to him

max call him a capris wearing aristocrat and he will get right back to you

gabbneb send me a webmail!!!!

max check your email--guess what i just got

I am assuming that now that you've all received your emails, you're done with this.

Harbl - sorted out the emailing thing.
