Changelog

[yak]

Admin CP: Made it possible for admins to close the trouble ticket with the reply to it. Do not abuse ;)

Also, HTML was not filtered from trouble ticket message and title, so this could potentially have been one way to leak session cookies. Fixed that. Will search for any HTML in the already existing messages to see.

note: No one used the cookie stealing via TT's

No one used the cookie stealing via TT's

[yak]

Admin CP: Changed the TT display page, added the possibility to order by last activity (reply).
Added the 'Last replied' column at the right

[yak]

Fixed storage drive statistics at the lower left in the admin CP. Now it shows accurate results.

[yak]

Added the :linkusername: auto-conversion for all places on FA where users can post text to.
More details at http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/41799/

[yak]

Added two more BBCode tags: {sub} and {sup} (replace curly brackets with square ones)

[yak]

Stolen from TRAC - 5 dashes in a line are replaced with a <hr> tag.

[yak]

Enabled output compression in php.ini
Note: Test here http://www.port80software.com/tools/compresscheck.asp?url=www.furaffinity.net
Commented out all unnecessary modules in httpd.conf. More then 60% of all modules were commented out this way
Applied a workaround in nginx.conf for a bug in software that was supposedly causing 502 Internal server errors. In theory, every odd request was supposed to be generating such. Advised to update to version to 0.5.2
note: the error still persists, but on a lot lesser scale as it used to.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?

2006/12/12 08:51:50 [error] 49372#0: accept() failed (53: Software caused connection abort) while accepting new connection on 0.0.0.0:80

[yak]

Made FA use the real IP address of the user, and not 127.0.0.1.

TODO: Make Apache USE X-Real-IP automatically, if supplied, replacing the REMOTE_ADDR with it's value. Currently, i'm doing this in PHP by hand.

[yak]

Increased the SYS_NUKE_MIN_MESSAGECOUNT from 48 to 160 messages

[yak]

Added some more BBTags to FA, check my journal if you're interested.

[yak]

Added the 'noatime' mount option to /usr. Should save FA an extra ioctl or two with every file request.
Looking into isolating .htaccess search paths to specific folders only.

[yak]

Updated :iconusername: to work with normal usernames also, not just their URL variants.

For example
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/usernamewithunderscore
is the URL for the following username
username_with_underscore
Inocusernames were not rendered properly, if the non-URL variant (username_with_underscore) was supplied. Now, at the expense of a wee bit of more processing, normal usernames (as they appear on the user page) can also be used.


Ditto for linkusernames.

[yak]

Fixed the submission re-uploading bug that was always causing the half-view to stretch to 600px fixed, being especially bad in the case of icons.
Made the code use the setting from the system control panel.

[yak]

Copying the thread to public domain. Critical code issues however will still be reported here.

[yak]

User CP: Added the 'view' button to journal list.

[yak]

Userpage: Fixed the bug with the display of the latest journal. When a journal is being posted without a title, that messes the layout a bit. Now empty journal titles are replaced with "No title" text.

default_old layout: fixed a few issues with the CSS, so at least the 'features' on FA should be working properly. This template will be discontinued however.

[yak]

Added BBCode parsing to PM's. Now [QUOTE]'s should be displayed as quotes, and not as plain text.

[yak]

Fixed the bug with adult artworks that were visible to guest users when following the direct link to the submission's page.

[yak]

Reduced comment threading indentation from 5% to 3%

[yak]

1. :iconusername: will now append that username right of the avatar.
2. Added automatic URL wrapping to private messages
3. Fixed an issue with missing newlines when reading private messages.

[yak]

Made it possible to target certain comments in a list of replies, and getting a perma-link to point at a specific comment.
Not having any better ideas, attached that link to the "title" part of a comment.

[yak]

Fixed the submission counter, global recount pending.
Disabling the "Send" button when making comments to prevent multiple posting.

[yak]

Music submission page: Not valid because of a google audio player and i'm too lazy to work around it to make it XHTML compatible


"Borrowed" google's music player to use for FA's music submissions.
[edit] reverted back for now, working round compatibility issues with IE

[yak]

1.Added [LEFT] [CENTER] [RIGHT] BBTag parsing

2. Added a "comic navigation panel" macro.
[54363, 5646, 4536] will be translated into <<<PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>> links, where those numbers are submission ID's.
To disable a certain link, type a dash ("-") instead of a number. Only one whitespace character is allowed between each of the numbers, semicolons and square brackets. Works only for submission descriptions

[yak]

Updated description popup code.
Updated the visual look of most of the 'galleries', e.g the actual user's gallery, browse section and favorites gallery. Descriptions show only on demand. While this may look a lot more convenient, the main reason was to try and reduce the traffic from loading avatars. Will be changing user pages' "latest favorites' and 'latest submissions' in a similar way soon.

--

It turned out that google's music player only understands 44khz mp3 files, and IE sucks as usual with it's incompatibility issues - so it has to be made optional.

[yak]

Added the [edit] link to the end of title of the journal (/journal/xxxx), visible only to the journal's owner, for convenience.
Added text, bbcode, link and macro parsing to /journals/user_name_here/

[yak]

Added a "/me" virtual address to FA,
http://www.furaffinity.net/me/
which will take you to your user page, if you're logged in - or to the guest's page otherwise.

Per request on the Suggestion thread,


I think this is a pretty fundamental aspect of the site that could stand some change for the better. I'm talking about the New Submissions inbox. At the very least, it needs an Oldest -> Newest listing option.

Now it has one.
I also properly fixed the "perpage" number, now it stays. These preferences are being stored in your cookies.
