Board Updates Log Thread

Because it was requested, this thread will serve as a log of all changes I make to the board, big or small.
If you need to discuss something go ahead. Keep in mind that after some time any posts other than ones stating board updates will be deleted or moved to a seperate thread, to keep this on-topic. ;)

Spoiler BBCodes

Just finished changing all of the spoiler-style bbcodes.
They all now use built-in vbulletin javascript functions to hide/show text, instead of my code.

Something new though is that the spoiler tag now supports users with javascript disabled.
For users without javascript instead of getting the hide/show links they get a message saying to highlight the black area to see the spoiler, and the spoiler isn't hidden, it instead gets it's text colored black and a black background so the text can't be read.

New Heading BBCode

Also added a new Heading bbcode.
It can be seen above
To use it the bbcode is [heading/]

HTML Code:

[heading]Heading[/heading]

NZB Index Updates

More updates from today include changes to the NZB Index (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/nzbindex.php, did you know it was there?).
The new changes include highlighting of whether the thread is read or not, like we have in the forums, and a message that says if the NZB file has been downloaded. :)

I've also started working on something else new for the nzb index: favorites/reminders. You can set an nzb thread as a reminder to download the file later.
So far i've done a little coding in the background but nothing can be seen yet.

I know, the filter does the same thing. I don't know how to fix it. You have to close/reopen browser, or hit check-all in the filter.:lol:

NZB Index Download Reminders

Finished the first part of my hack. You can add a reminder for NZBs by clicking the add reminder button: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/arcade/addfav.gif
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/nzbindex.php
Works using ajax, so you don't have to reload the page when you add/remove a reminder. :)

Done.

NZB Index Download Reminders Complete

I've completed the second part of this hack. You can now show only NZB reminders by clicking a link that says 'My NZB Reminders' which is next to the filter and search dropdown links.

Arcade Welcome Message
This is the message displayed at the top of the Arcade homepage.

Never seen it before but edited anyway just incase :blink:

Board upgraded to 3.6.7.
Nothing new, just a security fix release.



Nice avatar hairbautt. :)

Fixed bug in NZB Posting that's been there for years...if the nzb age is in the future (diff time zone or something) then it sets the date to the current time so we don't get things like "Age -36min"

Added a small fix to let vbulletin detect the new safari browser for windows.
Should fix some issues like popups/dropdowns not working.
Although I haven't tried the browser so i don't know if a problem existed or if it's fixed. :lol:

You da boss. :P Done.




Fixed a bug with the 'User most active in forum x with y posts' code that you can see in people's profiles.
It now takes into account forums where posts aren't counted (trash is currently the only one...that I know of :lol:) and whether or not you are able to view the forum they are most active in.
If the viewer doesn't have permission to view the forum that the user is most active in then nothing gets displayed. For example, members won't see team chat if one of the mods is most active there...

Sweet, thanks!

:w00t: (I always forget how cool the header thing is btw)

Added an "Add NZB Reminder" link to NZB post pages under the download nzb link. :)

Will also be adding the links to nzb forum pages (skizo's request) at some point later in the week probably.

Added CAPTCHA (enter string of letters/numbers to continue) for logins. This will stop (hopefully) the login hacking attempts.
Hopefully if the hack attempts stop for a while then we can remove the captcha in a couple of months and be back to normal. :)

Threads in the NZB forums now display nzb index as a link in the navigation at the top of the page.

(example: > FileSharing Talk > File Sharing > Newsgroups > NZB Index > TV NZBs > The Kite Runner DVDSCR XViD-CAMERA)

so what did you fix just now?

The "Tags" thing I surmise, but when hovering over a thread I no longer get the preview.

Try clearing your cache, the javascript files changed and that might be your problem.
I can see the preview in all skins.

I'll try that when I get back home.

The Friends list also appears to be missing from the "User CP" jumpbox.

Cool add-ons :) , I LOVE FST

Ditto on the absent friends.:(

EDIT: Figured it out. You have to go to contacts and friends, and therein lies your original friend list. To get them listed on your main page again you need to check them all as "friend" and hit save. It will send out and request to each individual to confirm the request. Once confirmed, voila!

Awww, :( I was hoping for that new theme.

thanks for the new profil and networking options, they look cool. and after kallieb's post i understand now that i have to reinvite my friends so to speak.

what i'm missing is the option in the statistics to see the most active section regarding postcounts.

not a big deal.

it was just interesting to see if a member has 98% of his posts in the invite section with one click.

New friends system is built into vbulletin.
Old was a hack.
So there's no way of saving the old friends list, you need to send a friend request to get a user as your friend.


As for 'user most active in...' that will be back shortly.

I'm confused by change but thanks looks cool. gotta get the hang of these albums/groups etc...

looks good
but why hide the rep points in the public profile ?:(:(:(

thanks for making this forum better , i appriciate it very much

Cache didn't do it. Cleared cache for both IE and FF and neither were getting a preview, so I tried cookies and that did it.

I didn't look at which one; just cleared them all for FST.

EDIT: Damn, now it's gone again as the cookie is back. Any way to tell that particular cookie to feck off or is this something that needs fixing?

Is the visitor message thing gone? Cause I was totally enjoying that.

I was confused last night wen I saw those changes. But now I see what happened :happy:

Ditto on this. I was looking this morning for the visitor box feature. Please bring it back!!! It saves junking up my PM box.

Thanks lads,

Nah, BT-tards were abusing it.

is it me or other's also think that the new profile view sucks :dabs:

I can't edit a post or go advanced :dabs:

cant see my rep points :( , how ?

Why does the frontpage (portal) drop-down menu thing now incorporate the right side column :unsure: VB White skin. Yes. I cleared my cache and pished the floppy among other things...

I didn't realize it 'til now, but someone approved :sly: a thread with quote tags in the NS (I always wondered what they did).

:tank::bleh:
