Suggestion and Update Thread

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

A suggestion for XenForo SneedForo. Any visible page selectors (and there could be more of them with all that horizontal space) could have tooltip text that shows the range of dates for that page:



For the "Go to page" box, there could be an option to select by date, and it would bring you to the start of an appropriate page, or even the first or nearest post in the thread that was made on that date:


I vertically centered the button in GIMP.

For fast-paced threads, maybe you want to move around by the hour and minute too. In this concept, you would click on the clock, it would disappear and change the input box from type="date" to type="datetime-local". Otherwise, if you start with "datetime-local" it selects the current minute when you select a date, although it's probably possible to prevent that with JavaScript.



Edit: Upon further reflection, you need two Go buttons or need to use more JavaScript to check the last changed input. But this is just a crappy mockup for my suggestion.

not sure if this has been suggested before but could there be an added stat that shows Posts per minute (or posts per hour)? It would be particularly useful for finding threads that are more active than normal and could be an alternative way to find ongoing happenings instead of relying on the community happenings thread alone. You could also have a little PNG to mark a thread that has a spike in activity too.

After seeing the Dr. Disrespect thread get closed from too many people shitting up the thread and the Dankula thread growing in 50 pages after his divorce news broke (making it fucking impossible to read the whole thread without spending all day on it), featured threads have a problem with tourists flooding in and posting unsubstantial bullshit and getting into arguments. Not sure if this would be doable or worth it, but thought of a possible solution: a token system.

Whenever a thread gets featured, every user that makes a post is assigned two or three tokens assigned to said thread for them to post there. When the tokens run out, the user is unable to post further until the thread is no longer featured, thread is no longer on token usage. This will only apply to users that have not posted in the thread before the featured post was made (afterthought: if their post gets replied to or reaches a quota of 'informative' or 'semper fi' reactions, another token gets added to their account. This will encourage substantial posts and also do a better job of highlighting ones that are worth reading.....but stickers aren't supposed to have any importance so maybe there's a better way of getting more tokens to post.).

If this is too restrictive on the users in that it stifles speech, then maybe instead of threadbanning until thread is no longer featured, it can instead trigger a flag to the staff that a certain user is being disruptive and should be checked on. Then the mod/admin can make the call on what to do. That method could be the way to test out initial idea or just have it be implemented to alert the staff to keep threads in check. Call it "Chuck E. Sneeds" coins, if you will.

I'd love to be able to embed Odysneed videos, if only to be a bit less dependent on YouTube.

Spergy posts need to be bumped to spergatory or something

It needs to be a rule, if it is already, that content posted here needs to be archived internally on the site.

 

[herefortheactualthreads]

if its a possibility then i'd like a feature to see who put me on their ignore list just for the sake of it.

 

[Napoleon Bonerfart]

Can we get an emote for :bearguntputer:?

 

[TETRABAX]

Built in site gamba functionality with fictional money so users can gamble in polls on future outcomes (like why BMJ got put in jail or baldos prison term, etc) would be neat

Why were most of the themes removed?

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

Why were most of the themes removed?

It's America Day. Red would be hard to read in dark mode, and white would be unreadable in light. Anything else isn't FREEDOM enough. So, have blue.

 

[TheHarbinger]

Why were most of the themes removed?

Can we not have the constant theme changes forced on us? I doubt most users want a constant changing look on the forum that they have no control over.

Speaking of embeded media could we be allowed to embed KiwiFarms media itself? Sometimes I wanna link a video from one thread on another thread, but it doesn't let me. Quoting the post of the video doesn't really look nice and just reuploading a entire video again to the server feels wasteful

 

[Bucephalus]

The BB codes page doesn't make it clear enough what the private tags are meant to be used for.



It should say what the site-wide notice says right now:

Private tags are only for (1) PII on the 1st page of a thread, (2) on-topic nudity on any page, (3) copy+paste articles in any board which may be viewed by guests. Private tags are not for hiding information from guests. Private tags offer no actual leak protection and only annoy users without accounts. Use direct messages instead of private tags if you don't want something to be public yet. Report posts that use the private tag inappropriately.

I thought I was completely retarded when it came to reusing attachments in different posts, but I guess it was just XenForo being shit all along.

Null said there's deduplication so you're probably not wasting storage space, but you would be wasting bandwidth and your time.

If you browse on desktop I use this to auto-redirect: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect

I do it with a simple userscript:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Old Reddit Switcher
// @match *://www.reddit.com/*
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==

const OLD_HOST = "https://old.reddit.com";

let pn = document.location.pathname;
// old doesn't work with media links. It really fucks things up.
if (!pn.startsWith("/media"))
    document.location.replace('https://old.reddit.com' + pn);

Safari on iOS has an extension for running userscripts, so this even works on most mobile devices.

Is it possible to allow embeds from Invidious URLS in addition to the Youtube URLs?

i.e. https://invidious.incogniweb.net/embed/26j1pkS83dQ

I'm assuming it might be tricky, just because longevity of a instance is unknown, but I thought I would ask anyways.

there was user or two who registered, posted once or twice or nothing, then didn't do anything for a while until Trump got shot
the behavior was noted a suspicious and sleeping accounts have come up before iirc
what about some sort of flag similar to the pink triangle but their name and box glows when a long-dead account pops up for reasons?

It should be a warm, throbbing glow like the throbbers browsers used to have, bright green.

Another thing the US Politics thread brings to mind: Lots of identical images/videos posted. It's nobody's fault really when the thread is moving at light speed, but if the new attachment system could detect and tell people about duplicates and where they are, that could be helpful.
