Suggestion Box
Author Posted on 2015/07/05

MKGirlism Now since we finally use my Custom Forum Software, I can now accept (almost) any Suggestion possible.

Currently Pending
Big Features:
- Smiley Admin.
- Localisation Support.
- ShoutBox.
- PM System.

Small Features:
- Jump to New Post Button.
- Back To Thread Button in New Replies.
- Pages in Forum View.
- "User Theme" in Cookie Themes.
- Split Posts.
- Edit Poll.
- Block Users in PM.

Note: There are no ETAs for any of these Features; they're done, when they're done.

To clarify:
Bug Fixes are pushed to all Channels, as soon as possible.

However, Feature Requests have the following Process:
1. Somebody Requests a Feature.
2. Features are developed on the Dev Channel, which can only be accessed by me, and Blaveloper.
3. Those new Features will be Tested on the Dev Channel first.
4. If everything is fine, it will be pushed to the Early Channel.
5. In the Early Channel, I give the opportunity to let other people Test the new Features.
6. Once everything was successfully Tested, the Features will be pushed to the Production Channel (read, this very Forum).
7. If there's still something going wrong, it'll be counted as Bugs, rather than Features.

Usually, any Feature will be made in a Random Order, but each time a new Feature has been pushed to the Early or Production Channels, you'll be informed in this Thread.

Jesse So are we supposed to post our suggestions here?

I got one: Jump-to-new-post button. That would also help to see which posts are new.

Jump-to-new-post button. That would also help to see which posts are new.

Of course, it would be weird, if I would suggest StapleButter that, on his Forum, while I would skip it myself here.

These are Bugs, not Features.
I've noted them down, but let's keep it at Features here.


Can you please have This redirect to just dshack.org? All of my devices still have the old link as a bookmark and it's frustrating to change them all.

Not really, the whole Forum part of this Software loads Pages, from the "/forum" Folder.
Not that it's a problem to fix that, it's just a matter of Renaming the Folder to something else, and changing 1 File.

But this also counts as a Bug, so I've noted it down on my Bug List.


Could you implement the ability for Admins and Mods to split threads if it starts going offtopic?

Yes, that's possible, though I'm not familiar with this Feature Programming-wise, so I'd need to write it out.
Don't worry about that, as long as I use Common Sense, it'll be all fine.

I'm pretty sure, "Display Name Change" is the same thing...

There isn't much space for that, but if you really want to, you can as well use the Embed Code from YouTube, and put it in your Bio.

I would like to report a bug. When I attempted to vote in a poll just a moment ago it told me that guests could not vote and, I was logged in! I'm not a guest.

My point is, there already is a Thread to Report your Bugs to.



Also, I've pushed some new Features to the Early Channel :
- Display Names.
- YouTube Videos in Profiles.
- Country Flags.

If everything is alright, I'll push them here, later today.
However, I already prepared the Database for that.

MKGirlism Well, I just Downloaded the Flags as .PNG, Uploaded to the Server, and let PHP 'magically' get all the File Names, so it can be used for the "Country" part of your Profile.
Besides, having more Bullshit Countries would probably make things more interesting, right?

In another News, I've added the "Split" Feature.
The reason why I didn't go through the Early Channel first, is because I accidentally discovered, the Feature was already there, I only had to make it available for Moderators, and remove the Debugging Information.

MKGirlism ShoutBox is finally coming along!


And it's Mobile Friendly, also!

This Morning, I'll push the following Features, to the Early Channel:
- Back To Thread Link in New Replies.
- "Theme Maker" in Cookie Themes. (Only available, if a Custom Theme exists on your Account.)

Until then, G'Night.

MKGirlism New Features Added:
- Back To Thread Link in New Replies.
- "Theme Maker" in Cookie Themes. (Only available, if a Custom Theme exists on your Account.)
- "Pages" at the top as well.
- Pages per Thread in Forum View.
- Whoever is "Root", can now give Members Special Permissions.

I've Applied these here and on the Early Channel in immediate effect, as 1 File contains a Bug Fix, as well.


Also, could you have a button to automatically skip to the last page?

This one is already on my TODO List.

MKGirlism Okay, so I finally got Jump to New Posts working, and therefore, I had to change the way this Forum shows New Posts.
And therefore, all your Reads got reset, and therefore, you'd need to manually Mark them as Read.
And therefore, the "Mark (All) Forum(s) Read" Feature has to be rewritten, and therefore, it doesn't work at the moment.

In order to jump to the new Post, just Click the "New" Icon.
If you've never been to that Thread, the "New Icon" acts exactly like Clicking the Thread Title.
If you have been in that Thread before, you'll jump to the first Post you didn't read, yet.

I hope, it explains all.

LeonisaTrotsky Why can normal user even edit their username color if just makes it the banned color anyway? Nevermind.

Also, posting should use instant redirects instead of redirect pages. Incorrect username or password should display a "incorrect username or password" message at the top of the login page instead of taking you to a new page that says "Login failed." Oh, and editing your post takes you to the first page of the thread instead of to your post. Linking to a post gives a "Sorry, page not found" error.

If you could explain me how to do that with Includes...
(This is a Bug, not a suggestion.)


Incorrect username or password should display a "incorrect username or password" message at the top of the login page instead of taking you to a new page that says "Login failed."

Isn't that just the exact same thing?


Oh, and editing your post takes you to the first page of the thread instead of to your post.

That can be done.
(Again, this is a Bug, not a suggestion.)


Linking to a post gives a "Sorry, page not found" error.

I'm working on it already.
(And once again, it's a Bug, not a suggestion.)
Author Posted on 2015/07/11
#211
LeonisaTrotsky I thought all of those were intentional other than than the "Sorry, page not found" error. Oh well. :P
Instant redirects are done with header("Location: whatever.php?id=1");

As for a suggestion, offline posting (where you just enter your username and password to post a thread/reply) might be nice to implement. Also, possibly an option to disable smilies and even have the quick reply able to be closed/opened by clicking on the "Quick reply" bar at the top of it?
Author Posted on 2015/07/12
#218
MKGirlism The thing is:

header("Location: whatever.php?id=1");


This only works, if you call it directly.
However, unlike AcmlmBoard, I'm including the entire Forum inside "forum.php", like:
include("board/thread.php");
PHP's Header Command doesn't seem to like that, for some reason.

Also, what do you exactly mean by "Offline Posting"?
Smilies is an easy implementation: Just don't call "GetSmile()", if the Database says so.
And the Quick Reply thingy, oh joy, even more JavaScript stuff to keep in mind...Okay...
Author Posted on 2015/07/14
#255
LeonisaTrotsky Offline postings that if you click "New thread"/"New reply" as guest, you would have the post message forum along with username and password fields. So if you enter your username, password, message, and title in the case of a new thread, you can click preview to look at your thread or post, or submit to send it. Your last post will be updated but your let view will remain the same.

MKGirlism Honestly, I don't think there's any advantage in having a Feature like that.
I have an idea on how to do that, but I'm not sure how useful it might be.

MKGirlism The new ShoutBox is now Online.
It's not fully finished yet, as the "@" Button, BBCodes, and Automatic Enters aren't implemented yet.
But it's all coming along, the latter 2 are practically already implemented, but not yet in the ShoutBox.
Author Posted on 2015/07/15

LeonisaTrotsky It might be useful if @Username would notify you. Also, it needs to filter unclosed HTML tags. :P
Author Posted on 2015/07/15
#267
MKGirlism I saw the consequences about the HTML one now, it can be arranged.
And in which way should it notify you? Like, a Sound Effect, just like on the old ShoutBox (which by the way notified you, on every single Shout made)?
Author Posted on 2015/07/15
#269
LeonisaTrotsky Maybe just some HTML popup that says something like "So and so mentioned you… 'Blah blah blah'" and you can click the popup to make it go away.

tomix How about in addition to having the Shout button, having a shout sent when you press enter. If someone wants to do another line, then they would need to do shift + enter.

SGC Yellow Hide the shout box from banned users. People like blacky can use the shoutbox as a way to gather information about users and, harass them. For example gericom posted a link to his GCN Sherbert Land model in the shoutbox, if blacky had the balls to steal my GCN Dry Dry Desert model then theres no doubting that he'll do the same with Gericom's GCN Sherbert Land model!
Author Posted on 2015/07/20

MKGirlism If it's only hidden away from Banned Users, he'll still be able to Remove Cookies, and view the ShoutBox as a Guests.
But why should you send Files meant for only 1 person through the ShoutBox, in the first place?
I know, we don't have a PM System yet, but there are 6 Million other ways, to share Files privately, in the mean time.

MKGirlism The long awaited Smiley Admin is now available to Admins and higher.
Well, sort of.

The Delete Button doesn't work yet, not because of an error, but rather because I simply didn't implement it yet.
Also, keep in mind, you don't conflict new Smileys with the already existing one.
For example:


Note how the first one has an extra Character, if the order would be reversed, the Devil one wouldn't work (and I know, people like Swiftie Luma remember that), and instead, the Smiling one will be shown, with a "greater than" sign before it.
It's a limitation to keep in mind, I'm still trying to find out, how to work around that.
Author Posted on 2015/07/30
#393
MKGirlism You can now localise this Software.
Contact me to get a Template, I'll put it here, at a later time.

One thing to keep in mind: Pages and Blogs automatically adjust to the chosen Language, so don't be surprised to see an empty Index Page, that's normal.
This was meant to be a feature in YaBS 3.0, and since this Forum Software was built on that and YaFS, I'll still need to revert this, so don't panic.

szymbar If this all was written from zero or even forked from a relatively small project, then whoa, I'm surprised :O
But I just came here today to check my old thread aaaand I found out that this forum is buggy like a swiss cheese :O
It didn't take me long to find out that you've been patching bugs on regular basis as soon as you find them out, so I decided to give it a try and find every problem that bothers me. Warning, this can be a long read.

1. The first thing that stuck me odd is the width issue of the whole page. Shoutbox and lower block of settings seems to have a different width than the rest of the page! Though it may seem like a minor mistake, fixing it would give +50 to appeal. Trust me, I'm a perfectionist :P

2. Then I decided to look for my thread which was moved, checked the File Hacks in MK7 section, looked at the post count being 2/9, clicked the subforum... And there was only one thread there. I know the previous one was moved, but shouldn't the count decrease as well? I was really confused at it.

3. And then I decided to return to the main board and click the arrow next to one of nicks in the "last post" box of one subforum. It didn't redirect me anywhere. And neither did any other "last post" box arrow. What's wrong?

4. Then I wanted to check "Home" of this site, clicked "Read more" and... the comments section is simply wrong. I don't know even where to start... Maybe with the font? Why do all entries on forums have such a small font (which is perfectly good for me, don't make it bigger), yet the comment section looks like a smartphone UI-enlarged font? So that was the first concern, the next one is that writers nicks are too exposed! I mean the posts mattered, not the nicks! Even if the text has to stay this big for some reason I can't get, the font sizes between the whole nicks line and the main text have to be swapped :S
Preferably I'd love to see everything written in the same font as on forums tho'.
And why are the spaces between each comment so... huge? I think they should be much smaller, but that might be just my opinion.
Right, so then the message box. Why are smileys on a different line than the rest of the buttons? And why there's such a huge amount of space between smileys and the message box?
The "comment" button doesn't really stand out like "submit" and "preview" on main forums, I'd give it a tweak, make it another color, bolded or made bigger :S
Neither the "Message" text compared to the nick line and comment does :S

5. Clicking on any button in "format" section sends everything to the bottom of the post. What if I mark a section of a text and want to bold it? Or add an emoticon in a space marked with a mouse?

6. Why isn't there any post cache while writing? I just clicked "quote" and removed myself a 20-minute long post. Why?! ;____;

7. I think clicking on ID should redirect you to post's ID link, instead it does nothing at the moment. Can it be fixed?

There are of course many things related to shoutbox that have to be done, but I think this will be enough for now. Can I count on you fixing these bugs? Cheers!
Author Posted on 2015/09/01

MKGirlism 1. It differs per screen, actually.
I don't use a Widescreen myself, so it's perfect for me.
But it doesn't mean I will never fix that, but I do mean to say, I'm aware of this.

2. No, Post Counts don't decrease, but certain Forums can be set to prevent Post Counts from increasing.

3. I know that, and it's on my Bug List already.

4. I'll take that into account.

5. I was already working on this one, though it's not as easy as it sounds.

6. It's not vBulletin, saving in between could possibly take a lot of resources.

7. That's what the "Link" thingy does.
I was actually thinking of removing those IDs, they're pointless, anyway.

I already have a Bug List, and to prevent it from growing even further, I decided to fix Bugs every Thursdays now, instead of whenever I feel like doing so (unless it's critical, of course).

szymbar Could you pretty please put our avatars in a separate div so we could customise them?

Actually not, .sidebarxx img solves it. But while we're at it, could you put separate data in our sidebars in different divs within divs? Such as user title, maybe since when, post count amount and such...
Author Posted on 2015/09/14
#574
LeonisaTrotsky I've been thinking, people who are barred from the ShoutBox and some shouts in the ShoutBox could have a pound sign/number sign (not "hashtag", that word needs to die in a fire) instead of an ampersand to show that they are banned form using the ShoutBox. I know there isn't any example of this yet as no banned users have any recent shouts but this could be some extra low-priority feature in the future.
Author Posted on 2015/09/14
#575
MKGirlism It would be nice if we had a separate Ban List for the ShoutBox.
However, on this Site, once you get Banned, you can do pretty much nothing, and therefore, I don't see any use of this.

Edit:
Did you mean, a Ban List for the ShoutBox as a Feature Request?
In that case, it can be done, though I don't see a real need for it, as the TOS also applies to the ShoutBox...mostly.
Author Posted on 2015/09/14
#576
LeonisaTrotsky Well, sorta but just having "#username" instead of "@username". it's just an aesthetic feature I thought up of like grey username colors. :P

oh also, make the redirect pages auto-redirect (or yet better, adopt instant redirects)
Author Posted on 2015/09/28
#620
MKGirlism At one hand, there's nothing that forbids Swastikas here, but at the other hand, the Post Layout makes things unreadable.
I'll send her a PM, once I find some time (probably in the Evening).

Redirects is a very demanding Feature, I see...
I think I'll look how I can implement those, without affecting the "include()" Structure (since Redirects don't work, because of that).
Author Posted on 2015/09/28
#621
StapleButter You might want to consider the fact that Jews could be offended by that. Or that nobody likes nazis.


I don't see how redirects are demanding, atleast not Acmlmboard-style redirects. You're already providing a link on the redirect page, just add a <meta> redirect to that URL.

Instant redirects are more involved though. You can't send new headers once you have started outputting the page, so you have to watch out for that.
Author Posted on 2015/09/28
#627
LeonisaTrotsky Um, I don't like Nazis. I hate their guts. The reason for my layout was to make fun of their genocidial asses, because they deserve that for all those evil things they did. You know, like how people make fun of Kim Jong-Un and ISIS?

Anyway, I think it'd be best to use instant redirects rather than redirect pages. It'd be a whole lot convenient to everyone. ;)

StapleButter Nice, but shouldn't posting a new thread redirect to the thread?

Similarly, posting in a thread should redirect to your post. It just redirects to the first page of the thread, regardless of where the post landed.



oh and please for the love of us who use <- arrows and >_< smilies and other funky shit, change the shoutbox to use htmlspecialchars() instead of strip_tags() or whatever it's using




should also give a fixed/minimum height to the online users bar -- the different sizes of usernames makes the page jump around when it refreshes

LeonisaTrotsky There should be an option for using G:i A as a time format. Why? Because I like using 10-04-15 16:51 PM and 10-05-15 00:53 AM. :P
Author Posted on 2015/10/04
#671
MKGirlism That sounds quite pointless, actually, as "AM" and "PM" already define whether it's between 0:00 and 11:59, or between 12:00 and 23:59.

StapleButter that's like saying the metric system is pointless because there is already the nonsense imperial system



I am another of those persons who use the 24-hour format



also, the board seems to use the 12-hour format but without the AM/PM part, so much for that
Author Posted on 2015/10/05
#682
LeonisaTrotsky I don't see how AM/PM with the 24 hour clock is pointless. It's not part of the silly imperial system because it's existed before it as it was the original. Same goes for m/d/y. I tried using Inspect Element but anything that is not listed is filtered out.

At the very least, there should be an input that allow you to enter your own date and time format so that I can have my 24 hour plus AM/PM. Hell, one can't even select 6/10/2015 or 10.6.2016 because those optiond are not available.

MKGirlism Since there's a high demand for Bootstrap in the real world, these days, I decided to learn it.
So now this Forum uses Bootstrap.

There wouldn't be much to notice, except that:
- The Menu is different.
- The whole Site is more responsive.
- The ShoutBox can no longer be scratched in such a way, that the entire GUI will fuck up.
- Images and YouTube Embeds are now fully responsive.
- The overall GUI is finally perfectly aligned.

Additionally, I have already Updated the public Themes, to reflect these changes.
People who use Theme Maker should Update their Themes themselves.

The easiest way would be, to just save a Copy of what you already have, empty the entire Editor, and Save it.
This will give you the latest Version of the "DSHack" Theme (I hope), from there you can re-tweak your Theme.

Platinatic A few suggestions for the shoutbox:
-Make the icons in the emote menu like they used to be, since the update they've gotten really small
-When typing messages to people, we are already using the "@displayname" feature like twitter does
could you make it so that it has a different colour? (And maybe make it stand out a bit more for the person who it is aimed towards)

SGC Yellow I'm used to pressing the enter key when I start a new line of text in a post this is a problem with the shoutbox however.
I think there needs to be a option where users can choose if they want to use the enter button to post a shout or, not.
I think this option was on the old forum.

LeonisaTrotsky I think deleting your own shouts should be implemented, it'll come in handy when you experience lag.
The first shout is what any other shout looks like. The second one is a theoretical deleted shout. It'll be much smaller than deleted shouts, to give more space. Staff will also be able to toggle to see any deleted shouts.

1. ShoutBox Height is no longer visible to Guests.

3. Date Formats and Time Formats are now automatically selected, based on what you're currently using, so you no longer need to worry you forgot to re-set it.
4. Moderators or higher, as well as the User him- or herself can now see the reasons why somebody got a Strike, and when it'll expire. It's visible with the Strikes Count on everybody's Profile.

SGC Yellow Sometimes older Shouts will move up a little in the ShoutBox for some reason, also deleted Shouts will come back after being deleted.
Author Posted on 2016/02/29
#1517
MKGirlism Sounds weird, it's not supposed to be like that.
Deleted Shouts can be Undeleted again, so if a Moderator and you click the X at the same time, it'll be Undeleted.
Shouts moving up is probably Lag.

If I'm wrong, I'm not sure how to re-produce those problems.

LeonisaTrotsky The IP registration checks made me think of something; is there any sort of "you have too many failed logins please try again later" mechanism? It's alright if you don't want to state that you do or do not but I think this'll help curb hacking attempts through the login page.

B.B Here's a few suggestions:

- Text align tags for center and right
- After updating your profile settings, redirect to the user's profile, not the forum page. It makes editing the user style simpler.

And a bug:
- Select "preview" for your post, the line breaks are not correct.

MKGirlism I could do that, but I don't see the point of it.
Once you're locked out of your Account, we Admins won't be able to help you, because we don't know your Passwords, even if we check the Database, we wouldn't know it.

I could as well make a "Forgot Password" function, but that requires PHPMail to work on this Server, and it doesn't.

MKGirlism - Fixed some little, but notable Bugs, SGC found.
- You can now sort by "All Uploads", "Your Uploads", or "Other's Uploads" in the Uploader.
- The first owner of a Hack Store File is now visible on the Homepage.

That's exactly why. If you change your password but didn't make sure it is spelled correctly, you will be locked out of your account.

Platinatic I had this idea for having some sort of place where people can upload and share their textures. You would be able to pick from texures from different types (grass, rocks, water, road,...).
Uploaders could give a little bit of info about the texture (size, filesize, compression)

Basically a little hack store for textures made by people from the forum.
Author Posted on 2016/06/01

SGC Yellow This is something that can be made into a simple thread, in my opinion.
Author Posted on 2016/06/01
#1765
MKGirlism Size and Filesize is not a problem, this technology already exists within PHP (the Hack Store calculates the Filesize already).
However, PHP doesn't have a Compression Detection, as far as I'm aware of.

I could as well populate this within the Hack Store we all know and love, I don't really see why a whole new Sub-App has to be created, while 2 existing ones do a similar thing.

Yawshi Something minor but oh well, how about the ability to change the icons on the social bar in the theme maker as the current really aren't going to please everybody. Also it would be nice to have a little notification blip next to the notification icon whenever you have a notification.
Author Posted on 2016/06/01
#1767
MKGirlism In theory, icons could have been modified through Theme Maker.
However, these are plain PNG Files, so it might be possible to replace them, if I would wrap those images around CSS IDs, though I can't promise anything regarding that.

Actually, it's possible to re-style the Social Bar, as it's nothing more but a default Bootstrap Navbar, it's not the easiest thing to modify, however.

And what do you mean by "notification blip"? A sort of sound?

(As it turns out they're called badges not blips oops)

This sort of thing:
Author Posted on 2016/06/01
#1769
MKGirlism Oh, that.
I can't promise any success with this one, since the current Code isn't really checking on how many Notifications you have, it's checking on any Notifications you have at all, it's to prevent the Menu from 'flooding'.

But on the other hand, doing that doesn't seem that difficult, all I'll have to do, is checking on the same thing, simply remove "LIMIT 0,1", and use "SUM(id)", instead of just "id".

MKGirlism Since lots of people have this problem (and more than I would have ever thought), the Spam Check will only be included on the Registration form, from now on.
Until now, we have included it everywhere, which unrightfully saw legit people as Spammers sometimes.

Note: This is a little trial for now, if Spambots still manage to Spam here, I'll revert it (although I doubt it'll happen, because since we use this Forum Software, only 1 Spambot managed to get passed this).

PabloMK7 I've found a problem with the notification system, since it is hidden in user menu, it is difficult to notice it. Could you make a message pop up somewhere more visible that tells you about the notification? (Like PM did before)
Author Posted on 2016/06/15
#1822
MKGirlism That's not the problem, actually, because it's supposed to be in the "Notifications" Menu, which should glow orange if you have any.
In fact, most people seem to have this problem, and the worst thing is, it's most likely a client-side problem, meaning that re-producing this problem will be very hard (left alone, figuring out how to re-produce this issue).
Author Posted on 2016/06/15

PabloMK7 What about mobile view? It has the notification icon hidden, so even though it glows, you can't see it.

Y0shimario0 As a suggestion, make it that moderators and such cant edit a profile with someone with a higher status, ie i can technically edit MKGirlism's profile.
Author Posted on 2017/02/02
#2916
MKGirlism The reason I didn't do that in the first place, is simply because I trust my staff (I don't just randomly pick anyone).
However, the only thing an Admin or Moderator can't do, is giving somebody Root status.

But if it's really much of a problem, it can be easily implemented, but I'd rather wait until the next big update.

im too lazy to get screen shots so ill just say this, the shoutbox is pretty weird looking on mobile. the button that says shout is very thin and only says the letter s. the smileys button is fine. but i think its about time this site gets a m.(3)dshack.org, maybe in the next big update. though mobile support isnt crucial, its just nice to have to see what everyone is up to :P
