Yeah, no, maybe. Using secure trips for capcodes also adds extra protections against accidentially misspellingyour capcode and leaving it open to attack.
> I don't understand the argument for OH NO ANOTHER BUTTON MY WHOLE LIFE IS RUINNED crowd
It's all a design & layout question. I'd like to have the interface reduced to what is absolutely neccessary, esp. since I do not think many people really want to even bother or bother very often with the whole markup question.
> The replacement will be an option to select the default markup for a board, which makes much more sense overall.
I agree, this seems to make the most sense. I understand the "More options..." will not be showing up on boards with fixed settings, so I'll shut my mouth from now on. Apologies to all who I've been bothering.
The point is to make a portable file, so you do not /have/ to compile it on the host. Statically linked lets you use libraries that the host does not have.
Sure, doing it in perl is an option though.

Why should it?

It's more convenient if you want to start a new thread, but for those who don't it's one more form to have to scroll by.

Any idea why?

Uh, I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure. I guess I should fix that.

What browser are you using? I think I've tracked down the problem, and it's most likely a browser bug. The ancient Firebird (not fox, even) version I tested at work had the same bug (character set issues in the escape() and unescape() functions). It looks like your browser also doesn't follow the spec for how they are supposed to work.
Er, that's a feature, not a bug. That's how most GUIs act.
The Futaba template is missing the "No File" checkbox next to the File field in the Post New Thread area.
> The File field is almost never there.
...especially not when I've added a bug that makes it disappear. Where the hell did it go?

Well, for example, in both forms the text labels are bolded when they shouldn't be, in Futaba and Blue Moon. If you take a look at Blue Moon, the text labels in Create new thread are larger than those in the Reply box.
Thanks. I did it the hard way and put in the proper transformations everywhere so filenames can be kept intact, though.

If people are going to decide to use custom names for paramaters, then there isn't much you can do about it anyway, or is there?
The one with encoded Javascript that makes you post with fusianasan is cute.
Additionally, I'd like WakabaMark to be fixed somehow.
I don't know how, though. You know my resentments.
Finally, thanks for your fine work throughout all this time.
It is appreciated!

Doesn't mean we can't have separate releases for special scripts. :)
Yes, it's throwing Javascript errors for me if I use that character. Gonna look into that some more.
Well, you have your chance to try and abuse it over on the test page. Although the list of allowed tags there doesn't exactly match what would be allowed here.
Also, the point is to make the type of markup selectable, so you can pick WakabaMark or HTML or none at all.
> people like admins might prefer to use them
but they have capcodes now...
Your browser momentarily regressed to an old bug and then got better? Who can tell?
Running in pure perl would be ideal, portability-wise, but in practice implementing a JPEG loader and saver from scratch in Perl is both a lot more work than anyone wants to do, and the result will also be too slow.
As was already stated, making a statically linked executable lets you distribute pre-compiled binaries that people can just upload along with the script.
Another topic: since dynamic pages eat up CPU in order to rebuild pages according to URL parameters, what would be the likelihood of the current dynamic thread subpages having a significantly adverse effect in this aspect if a board were to grow to 2ch-sized proportions? Should there be a consideration to make these pages as static as the front page?
Also, let's put out a partition to kill secure tripcodes (unless they originated from 0ch/Futaba) and captcha (until we find a way to implement similar functionality without requiring it in the form of a GIF/PNG image), and add functionality for multiple uploads in one post.
And is there any practical way that Kareha can be modified to run multiple (even nested) boards in a single installation?

>database redesign
You mean requiring SQL software, or just making backwards-incompatible changes that would screw up old threads?
>prevent abuse
Are you only referring to flooding and spamming, or also trolls and flamewars?
Finally, out of curiosity: how much of the functionality in the .js file do you think could be properly implemented into a new or existing perl script?
> change the no-ID-on-email option to no-ID-on-sage

Already implemented.
> config.pl parameter to permasage after a certain thread filesize/total number of characters has been reached
Isn't this essentially the same as saying "Please don't talk so much?"
> no EMAIL_ID parameter (most if not everyone uses "Heaven" anyway, and if they really want to change it they can easily find the string in kareha.pl)
The choice of this string is so weird and arbitary, I feel better keeping it as an option so that I can disclaim responsibility!
> better configuration of date and time (with optional timezone offsets), parsing certain characters for individual elements (ie, yyyy/MM/dd(D) hh:mm:ss -5:00:00) and also accepting numerical inputs for fixed dates and times (Eternal September)

Pretty useless. I'd rather not waste work and code on something that has no actual use. (Timezone offsets would be useful, but this is such an incredibly hairy issue to get right, I don't want to even try. Just handling Daylight Savings Time would make my head explode, and I can't just leave it out, because then either the admin has to keep changing the offset, or the time will be wrong half the year anyway.)

> Better to have a tick-box and explain to people why it is useful. Or an option for it.
Yes, an option. Because I think a tickbox is horrible.
This is a widely used system. There is a very low learning curve here. sage = does not bump thread when replying, that's all there is to know. People can then figure out why it is useful on their own.
And personally, I think sageing should be encouraged more (since the perceptions on it have been pretty much ruined by 4chan). So it helps that it stays in the E-Mail/Link field instead of being purged from the tickbox each time like Shiichan does (interestingly, 4chan's Futallaby does also purge "sage" if written in all minor letters).
