...uh....
Do you not see the big "Manage" link on top of every board? That's the management panel, in which there are two radio buttons, "Management Panel" and "Manager Post."
The former radio button takes you to a menu for deleting posts, in that menu the host of each poster is listed. Just grab the host from there and plop it in the external datafile for host/IP bans, it's not exactly that hard.
>The admin panel showed the IP/host so that problem posters could be banned...
Uh...that's the management panel. For a while there was a shii-chan like admin panel in this script that I deprecated with this release because most of the features it included were bloat and half of them were broken.
>Liked "your" script better when it didn't just look like Futaba, though.
I really can't tell what you're trying to get at here, but I'll try.
If you're referring to the past look of the script, than that's just personal preference and really, I'm sure most people liked the original futaba look better,
If it's features you're talking about, and you think I just renamed a translated futaba and released it...um, you obviously haven't looked at it at all, because there's a metric fuckton of crap I hacked in.
Res page caches (static html of individual threads)? Post highlighting/quoting/reflink parsing? Secure tripcodes? Noko? Javascript to remember the name and e-mail fields (surprisingly not ganked from wakaba!)? Admin/moderator capcodes? Bans manageable via external datafiles? Ommited image count along with ommited post count? Not having to tick a checkbox that says "lol omg i'm not posting an image" if you want to post an imageless thread? etc.
tl;dr: SERIOUS BUSINESS
