You can't document easter eggs! That's crazy talk!
Also, I find it insanely more annoying to write text in five-line tunnel vision than whatever annoyance might be caused by a comment box that expands.
?
> Personally, I find the reverse order listing, as well as the random order listing, to be a bit silly & useless.
Well, no, duh, that's the point. They're jokes.
> The only useful bonus feature here seems to be the comma range seperator, but it seems even in that case there is not much benefit to it (saves 1-3 links in the average case that it is needed, which is rare to begin with).
On the contrary, it's very useful when referring someone to a specific discussion in a thread where several discussions are going on, since you can make a link that only shows the relevant posts. Not just on the board but when linking to threads elsewhere.
All right, code updated again. This time, some experimenting! I've implemented a tentative system for changing markup types. This needs a bunch of testing, of course, so here's the test thread link once again: http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1099697376/
Thoughts and comments are welcome. I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to do this.
There's a bunch of other changes and fixes too, so mention if anything breaks, as usual. Also, shift-reload!
> statically linked executable
I have to disagree with this. It should run in perl too.
> Also, I couldn't be arsed to fix Amber, since it was just a joke in the first place.
Booo!

I love that feature. Please don't remove it!
> I think the drop-in Style capability is fantastic-- but it just doesn't seem to play nice with the current 2ch page design.
plz 2 be keeping that feature too
No, but that's not the point.
> They can modify it an claim copyright on their modifications, at least as long as they're significant enough, but that doesn't affect existing works in the public domain.
Devil's advocate: What if they make significant changes you would want to add yourself? before you do? Can they then tell you to stop if they license their work first?

I'd advocate going for a separate interface a-la Wakaba, but it might be a bit too much to do for this release.
Also, maybe Easter Eggs like the Eternal September timestamp and others (if they exist) should be documented in config.pl.
Lastly, a question: who here finds enough use in the auto-expanding comment box to justify the annoyances when you click in or out of it?
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.

Actually, a solution to >> links with static pages is to simply make them reference a certain point on a certain page number for that thread (ie, http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/1129153864/index2.html#197).
>>249
<a href> opens up the possibility of using inline links, and img tags allow bandwidth leeching from other sites (plus the fact that the image itself may be unsanitary).
>>220
I meant only using the extra post for autoclose situations where the thread has exceeded the defined postcount limit in config.pl. As for the implementation, couldn't you just have Kareha use post_stuff() and (somehow) replace the timestamp with "Over XXXX Thread"?
Oh, and the navigation bar on the error page should probably look like the one on the thread page.
Yes, it's throwing Javascript errors for me if I use that character. Gonna look into that some more.
> but I don't quite see why there should be a "First 100" at the top but not at the bottom.
Probably to avoid clutter and because of the assumption that if you arrive at the bottom of a page, you can do without the "First 100" link. "First 100" seems to be a navigational aid for beginners who are new to the thread, so it makes sense to only have it at the top.
0ch-PHP had this nifty feature where if it was a certain "high bandwidth" time of day, then you couldn't view the whole thread.
Hm... that is kind of useless on a worldwide forum, huh?
But there should still be an option to keep people from viewing more than 100-200 posts, as an emergency way of saving bandwidth.
Also, here's something that would be useful, but is a bit more work than I feel like doing right now:
A simple thumbnailing program, that has no external dependencies and can be compiled to a maximally compatible, statically linked executable, for those who have hosts that don't have any image processing software, and don't allow you to compile your own. Should be able to load GIF, JPEG and PNG images, and produce JPEG thumbnails. Should contain all the source code it needs without linking to external libraries (it's easy enough to just stuff libjpeg, libpng, and zlib into the distro).
If anyone is lacking a programming project, feel free to take up this one! If you do, I can provide some fairly fast and good-looking image scaling code (or just rip it out of mangariini yourself).
What does "fusianasan" mean?
http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1099697376/101-101
(First "Next 100" link) does not include >>1 in that thread
There's also some weird bug where the entire browser windowd content goes black, dunno what that is about...
Hey, I just noticed this: where did the admin link go? Or are you working on a separate interface already? :D
>>182
That's not what I meant. What I meant was: If people want to change keywords to something, let them figure out at appropriate places what this something should be. Whether it should be "down", "stay_down" or "stay_put" is not really a discussion belongs here, not at this point anyway.
>>313 Like lots of people use them anyway </sarcasm>. Yes, security is a good idea. What are the holes, anyway?
