Mahz's Dev Journal

As TheMaster99 says, it's implemented. But I commented it out until I constrain some off-topic forums like Spam from 150k chars to like 10k chars.

@Mahz

Ah, What happens to pre-existing topics that reach the 150,000 character limit? I may or may not have posted about 10,000 hiders in spam.... *cough* Though that is a good idea. To prevent people like me from doing things like that.

I'll be working on the guild tomorrow all day as I usually do every Saturday. What feature should I implement? Some random big ideas off the top of my head: - Etherpads - A new interest check system where all interest checks just show up on one big list with a lot of filtering options. I would probably fit a tagging-system into this feature. - Dice - Unread post tracking - Notifications for new posts in subscriptions

@Mahz

As much as I'd love to see the first two, I think unread post tracking is most needed. The first three are icing on the cake, the fourth is a critical function of modern BBs.

[Mahz]

Oh yeah, I will also be merging in @TheMaster99's pull request and finishing out the user-search feature. Unread post count is just so ordinary yet essential. I was hoping nobody would see that option. Might consider focusing on unread-post-tracking + search.

I personally would like to see dice, it may convince me to head down to see the nerds at Tabletop

@Vortex

But what will convince you to use a 150x150-sized avatar, tough guy?

[Syben]

I think dice and a roll logging system are pretty important. In the other hand etherpads would be delicious icing for roleplays, collaborating through the site is a much needed feature.

@Mahz

My vote on priorities is for notifications from subscriptions (which would probably go hand in hand with the unread post tracking, although I'm not positive on that).

[Ellri]

Unread posts tracking would be useful, yes... especially if combined with a minor change to the subscriptions/forum page links from "jump to last post" to "jump to last unread post". maybe the notifications on subscriptions could be on the subscriptions page instead of the notifications page? like a tag beside/below a topic "n new posts"?

@Ellri

And you would have a number pop up in the Subscriptions button like it does for PMs and notifications.

[AlteredTundra]

Slowly but surely I'm seeing the site returning to it's bountifulness that it had pre-guildfall. <3

[Mahz]

Latest push: - Added basic users list with partial username search (Implemented by @TheMaster99) Various sorting options will eventually be implemented, but this should be good enough for the most common use case: just finding people. The pagination is limited for performance reasons but I'll likely improve it once I implement sorting.

[Ellri]

maybe a "last page" function on the user list would be in order?

[Hank]

Sure is. Thanks, @TheMaster99.

Sure is. Thanks, @TheMaster99.

@Hank

You're welcome! I'm just happy to help with a site I enjoy, and the experience + addition to my portfolio doesn't hurt either

Thanks, dude, we appreciate it!

[Lillian Thorne]

Absolutely.

@Mahz

That does bring up a good point, though. Will the Guild support higher native resolutions of profile pictures in the future?

@LegendBegins

I could only do something like that when I implement image uploads instead of the current hack. That way I could do server-side processing and, for example, output two different resolutions which will display depending on your device rez.
