With regards to the link issue above:

The bbCode is looking to match the string after either a space or a newline ( 'n' )

Problem is the preg_match is being called after the 'n' (which mark carriage returns in the input fields) are already converted to line breaks, so the pattern doesn't get matched unless theres a space there.

Just messing around with parsing on output and have sorted this out... looks as though its gonna be ok doing things that way.

Yeah, thats what I meant by "it wouldn't work for ppl who aren't logged in". You don't actually have to do anything... if they aren't logged in then you can't match them up with any DB data so everything will just show as old by default... its not a "special case" or anything, its just that that method can't be used if you've got nothing to match the data against.


Right, what I'm saying is: that's fine. It isn't something you should concern yourself with. It is still a special case, though, even if you don't have to do anything.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Quick update - things are going more slowly than I'd hoped, but we're getting there bit by bit.

If all goes well I'll be needing a few beta testers to help iron out bugs in the new site in a few weeks or so.

If you're interested, lemme know! Thanks smiley

I have a small request. I would prefer if after a certain amount of time, say 30 min, it becomes impossible to edit or delete your own posts. If a poster can't handle what he posted he shouldn't have posted it in the first place.

What about if somebody posts after your post, than it edit your post.

Ok I've added a check on the elapsed period from when the post was added, and if that is greater than a certain period (30mins by default) then non-mods will not be able to perform any edits.

The setting is easily changeable in the site config file, so Gwil or whoever should be able to alter it/switch it off if they ever need to in the future.

I'm willing to beta test the new site.

Also I can help with CSS if need be. The current site has a boat load of display issues that seem to be due to style interpretation differences between IE and FireFox.

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but when I choose a different theme, the menu titles are misaligned on there background. (the menu txt is lower than the black backgournd (basic theme)) I use the latest firefox.

Apologize if it's already been mentioned and/or this is the wrong place, I'm new to this site and it's very different to what I'm used to! (not a bad thing at all)

Just had a thought. How about allowing people to be moderators over their own threads? That way, if someone is spamming or being grossly off-topic the OP could edit or remove their posts (and perhaps even be able to ban them from posting in that topic, though i suspect this would need a little too much coding to implement).

Just a quick update... still beavering away and working on getting the last of the functionality finished off. Will be in touch with peeps once thats done.

I'm spending more time than I'd originally planned on things, but hopefully its gonna be worth it to make sure everything you guys need is working properly... plus its taken longer than I thought to reorganise the existing content.

There is a bit of a performance issue with the database at times too (as has already been mentioned), so I've been working on caching to help ease the load, especially in places such as the forums which can end up using an awful lot of queries.

Larchy gave me a status update the other day, and he expects it to be not too long before we have a final stage to review collectively as a userbase. On another note, i'd just like to say how nice it is to see the forums busier - i've been offline for a couple of days and this activity is nice to see after a rotten flu virus.

I am unable to change the screens on my de_Substructure map profile. I'm a sad little panda. Help?

Did you try deleting your browser cache? I always need to to see the new pics.

I'd still classify this as a site issue, though. :/
