ugh "More options..."

too much clickable elements! and it doesn't even do anything (Firefox 1.0.7 here)!

out! out!

testing #`¦

So, I made the All threads page a lot fancier. Might need some shift-reloading to get the proper CSS.

Is this about done, besides the admin bit? I'm getting a bit tired and distractions are looming to the left and right.

Thought of something else: can there be the ability to separately place a title on a board and what the head <title> element says?

Like "Music" for the header but "foolchan - music" for the title in the browser window.

> 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.

That's a Firefox bug.

How about adding a link to 2ch in footer.html called "2ch mode"?

While we're on that note, can there be a config.pl option to toggle between opening file attachments in a new window or in the current window?

> For example,

Different boards having different settings does not at all touch the question whether the learning curve of sage="does not bump thread" is low or not. It's up to the admins to tell their users what a particular modification on their board implies for "sage" - hopefully in a more responsible way than on 4chan.

> What about a(n) (optional) preview page?

I've been considering that, but it's a goddamn pain to implement. It'd be pretty useful, though. Also, it could include the spell checker someone requested way back at the beginning of time.

If you want to have a look at what the code actually does to dig out flaws, here is the current version:

sub sanitize_html($%)
{
	my ($html,%tags)=@_;
	my (@stack,$clean);
	my $entity_re=qr/&(?!\#[0-9]+;|\#x[0-9a-fA-F]+;|amp;)/;

	while($html=~/(?:([^<]+)|<([^<>]*)>?)/g)
	{
		my ($text,$tag)=($1,$2);

		if($text)
		{
			$text=~s/$entity_re/&amp;/g;
			$text=~s/>/&gt;/g;
			$clean.=$text;
		}
		else
		{
			if($tag=~m!^\s*(/?)\s*([a-z0-9_:\-\.]+)(?:\s+(.*?)|)\s*(/?)\s*$!si)
			{
				my ($closing,$name,$args,$implicit)=($1,lc($2),$3,$4);

				if($tags{$name})
				{
					if($closing)
					{
						if(grep { $_ eq $name } @stack)
						{
							my $entry;

							do {
								$entry=pop @stack;
								$clean.="</$entry>";
							} until $entry eq $name;
						}
					}
					else
					{
						my %args;

						$args=~s/\s/ /sg;

						while($args=~/([a-z0-9_:\-\.]+)(?:\s*=\s*(?:'([^']*?)'|"([^"]*?)"|['"]?([^'" ]*))|)/gi)
						{
							my ($arg,$value)=(lc($1),defined($2)?$2:defined($3)?$3:$4);
							$value=$arg unless defined($value);

							my $type=$tags{$name}{args}{$arg};

							if($type)
							{
								my $passes=1;

								if($type=~/url/i) { $passes=0 unless $value=~/(?:^$protocol_re:|^[^:]+$)/ }
								if($type=~/number/i) { $passes=0 unless $value=~/^[0-9]+$/  }

								if($passes)
								{
									$value=~s/$entity_re/&amp;/g;

									if($value=~/"/) { $value="'$value'" }
									else { $value="\"$value\"" }

									$args{$arg}=$value;
								}
							}
						}

						my $cleanargs=join " ",map { "$_=$args{$_}" } keys %args;

						$implicit="/" if($tags{$name}{empty});

						push @stack,$name unless $implicit;

						$clean.="<$name";
						$clean.=" $cleanargs" if $cleanargs;
						$clean.=" $implicit" if $implicit;
						$clean.=">";
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

	my $entry;
	while($entry=pop @stack) { $clean.="</$entry>" }

	return $clean;
}

>Why should it?

Because it's one of the two requirements for creating a new thread, and it's a lot more important to have a well-defined topic than to fill in your name.

>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.

Good point.

>Any idea why?

I dunno. I guess it's just another one of Futaba's countless layout quirks.

>>210

monospace font? like this?

> 2channel does not do this either by default. It can make browsing a bit more convenient (and I suspect dedicated 2channel browsers to insert & read these in some kind of standardized way) but I don't think that's reason enough to impose it on users by default.

whoops, I misread "postcount" as "posticon". Nevermind!

Copyright only applies to the literal code, not to features, ideas, or algorithm. Patents do, to some extent, but that's not the issue here. Since I'm not going to write the exact same code, there's little they can do.

Should be fixed now.

> That's what I thought, but then why is it in the Reply pages?

Er, that's a bug I guess.

> 1) rename the RENZOKU constants to something that makes sense

I dunno, they're pretty useless anyway, as has been pointed out, so I don't know if I care enough to change them.

> 2) Have the string to sage and fusianasan defined as a constant in config

I dunno, if different boards use different strings, that will only make for immense confusion.

> 3) A specific string for ID:Heaven instead of anything in the email field

Well, the only string that makes sense is sage, but yes, I should implement the Heaven-on-sage behaviour.

> 4) Cookie preferences such as "Don't use expanding textarea" which leaves it small or big.. or another option for that choice as well; an option to not save Name/Email automatically; anything else that is useful?

Maybe, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort (I'd have to implement a preferences page for it, too).

>>10
Exactly, but considering a lot of people can't make heads from tails in config.pl, how about a saner default?

>>11
That's true, but if least-popular threads are set to be deleted, instead of oldest-first, you don't have to guess.

I'm not sure I want to make a ban system. I'd rather just make it easy to interface with a simple banning script that does whatever's needed for the server it's running on.

Wow, >>243 sure looks like shit in Safari. What the hell? Looks right in Firefox, though.

I mentioned the option because on highly active boards it's helpful to know which threads will be gone in the next few minutes.

>>196
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).

Oops, here's the screenshot. orz

> Would it maybe make sense to make a separate thread creation page?

Considering that the ratio of users who start new threads to those who don't is pretty small on most message boards, I think it does.
A seperate page could also be used to put a more visible disclaimer/set of rules, as a seperate page with a different layout is likely to generate more attention from the user. Stuff that can be put there also wouldn't clutter up the frontpage.
I don't think this is an urgent matter, though.

> Red, bold thread filesizes displayed near the bottom of subpages?

I support this, especially if thread-closing by filesize should be implemented.

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?
