>>42 Yes, this software has some... issues. Mind you it's pretty amazing what the Tablecat guy has done with how restricted he chose to be in implementing this (no database, just a series of files and an index)... but some of the stuff makes me question his sanity, such as building the front page by parsing the HTML with regex, etc.
>>44 Same. I think it's pretty neat in general. I'm not sure how well this implementation will scale over time, though. If we import the prog.db into this everything might just crash, I can't imagine how long it would take if I pressed "rebuild all threads" with over 20K threads in the folder.
I could probably write something in PHP in a day that would be equivalent to Shiitchan without being completely shit, but I really hate PHP at this point.
Also, I am >>45 as well. I'm just not going to post with my cap code unless it's an announcement now. I'd say my writing style is recognizable enough, you should be able to figure it out.
I'll be working on the Scheme and FastCGI thing in the next few days to see if I can get a rudimentary textboard up in it. I've got a bit more work to do on the interpreter itself but I guess I'll just host it along with this one and I'll see what bugs are there and fix them.
That's how its called. Unless you are looking at something else.

I kept feeling like something wasn't right, but couldn't place it. Then it hit me: there are only 10 threads on the front page instead of the standard 18. Please extend.

>>45 Do you hate PHP because of PHP4 and Wordpress? Just try a framework like Laravel and see if it's really so bad.

Please increase the padding of posts. They look really squashed.
>>50 I noticed that as well. I've remedied it now.
>>52 This isn't something I can fix without rewriting the whole HTML and CSS. The BBS renders differently on Webkit vs Gecko, so it might get fixed when I decide to switch to my own BBS.
>>51 I hate PHP because I hate PHP. Its implementation, the entire language, everything. A framework on top of a broken language isn't going to fix anything. The only plus the language has is convenience, but it's not an important factor here as I can actually program. As I've stated before, I'm working on finishing my Scheme BBS and we'll test it out soon.

c'mon you could do your own userscripts for things like that!
This isn't something I can fix without rewriting the whole HTML and CSS.
You kidding me? It's all CSS only.
>>57 You don't even need userscripts, userstyles is enough.

BBCode tags won't work inside quotes.
> This is a {b]test[/b} shows up as malformed markup and it won't even let me post.
(I can't even post the actual tags because even when using {#}, I get the same error. I think it has to do with Tablecat not allowing you to post any BBCode failures. If I recall correctly, that feature is optional.)
Oh wait, it shows up fine in the Preview button, but it won't show up when I post it?
Well, I can wait for that switch, even if it takes another two decades. Shiitchan was worse in many ways, I'm fine with not using BBCode inside quotes.

We should have a satire flag (that only the moderator can see), but overuse of the satire flag will result in a perma-ban. (I'm thinking like, a random number between 1-2<<32, decided at post time.
>>104 Yes, that's stupid. We don't need a new board for that; there aren't nearly enough `suggestions' that could reasonably be lodged and it will just turn into complain nonsense like /q/ or be abandoned like /img/. This thread is fine.
>>106 I have no reason to right now. I think giving users the option of doing so is a good idea. >>108 Personally I have no problems with standalone meta threads, but I think all suggestions should be treated as a continuation of one topic, and therefore should be confined to a single thread (or a single series of threads).
>>109 I'd rather just talk to people on here. I might just make a "contact me" page where you post a comment that only I can see in the backend. I won't reply, though. If anyone talks to me not on the board they won't know that I own the site. That's the way I'd like to keep it. After everything is set up and optimal I'll probably also stop posting as Admin completely or alluding to the fact that I am the Admin anonymously.
>>108 I didn't realize there were that many meta threads. The site has just started, but if this keeps up I'll make a /meta/ and move meta threads to it.

Hi, this is not about site problem, but about problem related to your source code package.
I'd like to have a fix for this while retaining the compactness in browsers with graphical interfaces. The previous /pro/g// wasted too much vertical space.

>>117 I use the finder '/' to review and select them. I would suggest you make you own CSS, and post here if you do not like Tablecats default one. Everything is in the: <div class="shell" id="threadlist"><div><span class="thread"> http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/style.css

>>114 Do you think I care? No, I don't give a fuck. Go wherever you want.
>>115 Yes, I know what a self-signed cert is, please don't dump links for me. I am not going to buy a cert or get a free one, the entire CA model is completely retarded.
I'll make a self-signed cert later, whitelist it, and that's it. I'll figure out where to post the fingerprint later.
>>117,118 Does w3m actually read style sheets? I know links and the like don't. I'll try to fix this, but I can't promise anything since the HTML itself is generated in Perl.
>>131 That's really strange... I haven't modified anything at all as far as the HTML goes.
It's probably something Tabletcat put in as a simple automated (crawler bot) spam prevention.
The first field is named "comment", but the one that actually takes the comment is named "other". "comment" is hidden by CSS rules, it seems, and it shows in links since links doesn't read CSS files.
>>134 Always view the source of your pages. Never allow anything to be downloaded from another server, and never run scripts, unless you can read them (including understand). The default behavior of most browsers ignore XSS, something that is still a serious issue today.
>>135 Just because he has Firefox in the background doesn't mean he's a spammer. Sometimes I use links even if I've got FF open to browse certain sites because it's quicker / more convenient.

>>137 I do the same, all the time. Why I am telling you to be careful. I would have assumed already a fault in CSS or functionality on my browser before posting, then viewed the source to confirm my suspicions, since I am using a textbrowser. If >>131 work with textbrowsers, he should have known it by now.
>>135 You mean Chrome. >>134 Yes, the fact that NoScript/Scriptsafe/etc. are only available as browser add-ons is, in my opinion, extremely disconcerting. It places far too much trust in web site owners/developers. And while I understand the sentiment, avoiding all scripts that you can't read or understand is incredibly strict and impractical on today's internet. Whenever I can I will simply avoid sites who use shitty tactics like hiding content behind scripts hosted on advertising servers, but whitelisting scripts from googleusercontent.com or amazonaws.com is necessary to access many otherwise-benign sites. >>137 Absolutely. There are many use scenarios for text-only browsers (I'm using Lynx, btw).
At least you understand why I hate the web SO MUCH, and how evilincompetent companies have become. AH GOD, DO NOT REMIND ME OF THOSE JS EVANGELISTS WITH THEIR PREACHING OF THE NEW WEB 5000.0. Googlamozone are an evil company, and you should ignore them.
