    The first one I don't think is actually SUPPOSED to work. That looks like incorrect syntax for the URL tag.

    [url=http://somedumbasswebsite.com] TEXT THAT LINKS TO SOME DUMBASS WEBSITE [/url] is proper syntax for a url= tag.


    [url]http://someotherdumbwebsite.com[/url] however, is correct syntax. I'd wager there's an edge case in the tag parser being triggered.

    No, I know. I tried to do the second one (it was the intuitive way), but it failed. The proper way for url= doesn't work either:
    [url=https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://byuu.cinnamonpirate.com/?page=bsnes_news]x[/url]
    http://byuu.cinnamonpirate.com/?page=bsnes_news">x

    Kawa, the link parser is acting up again!

    >>2429 (and also whatever does the linking of links to posts)

    It doesn't seem to like my perfectly standards-compliant link in the quote. And trying to do the same thing down below just caused complete mayhem without even having a valid link in the soup to show for it.

    Expectation:
    see 1 2 3

    Reality:
    see http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Home/Web/TAD/TAD.html">1 http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Home/Web/TAD/TAD.html">2 http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Home/Web/TAD/TAD.html">3

    Would it be possible to disable URL parsing within a url= tag except for to escape semicolons and stuff?

    Hey, don't you think this "Online users" thing is a bit creepy?

    For instance, say I make a script that fetches it once a minute. And I see that user X goes to /bboard/sendprivate.php, and then to /bboard/private.php?show=1.
    I send a PM to myself, and see that the ID of it was 48. So the previous PM must have had ID 47.
    I then wait until someone gets /bboard/private.php?show=47 in the URL field.

    I now know that user X sent a PM to user Y. I could repeat this process endlessly to get a graph of who is sending messages to whom. In fact, I wouldn't even need to PM myself, just check what the last ID was. And I could draw up detailed graphs of their conversations, by looking for URLs of the form /bboard/sendprivate.php?pid=48. I could even estimate the length of the PM by judging how long they spent writing it. And of course, monitor Guest + /bboard/login.php to get their User Agent.

    Maybe I'm just paranoid, but this does feel a bit icky to me. Maybe it would be enough to show last view, last post, and last board/thread visited? Just check if URL is private, and if so don't update anything. (updating last view would give you a bit of information, since you could determine that user X opened PMs followed by user Y)

    At least it should be limited to logged-in users or even better, be possible to opt out from ("invisible mode - last view is perpetually set to 1970-01-01 and Online users only lists you if you make a post")

    For anyone who wants a temporary workaround, open the main page just after you open anything sensitive to overwrite the URL, and use the guest mode for general browsing. Could even be done with a userscript, although that's excessively paranoid IMHO

    I don't think the "online users" thing is creepy. It's a classic AcmlmBoard feature that I had no reason not to include when ABXD was first written, nor to remove it when I adapted it for use as the BBoard.

    Actually, I think you are creepy.

    Fuck the GDPR notifications. They are annoying at best and a fakeout at worst.

    The feature was deleted from the old bBoard, for what it's worth. As for me, I'm not that paranoid. I even browse with my real IP here, and I don't send any super secret PMs. As long as my IP isn't public it's fine.

    I think the GDPR is actually okay. I mean, sure, I hate the notifications and I'd much rather they stopped monitoring me, but we all know that isn't going to happen. It's definitely preferable that there are some kind of rules regarding the usage of personal data than that it's a complete Wild West. Or, I mean, I would rather the Internet be a complete Wild West too, but that isn't going to happen either, and then it's preferable that they too have to abide under rules.

    There's an add-on called "I don't care about cookies", and also filter lists for u/adBlock. Is there such an add-on for GDPR too? A quick search for "GDPR" on AMO gives me results that sound vaguely relevant, but what's the support for websites like? Ideally, I'd want one which declines as much tracking as possible without degrading functionality (I have it set to wipe cookies on tab closure, but there's no need to give them my data for free), and then redirects me to the main website. Since I have it set to wipe cookies whenever I close the tab, it gets quite annoying having to click through each time you want to read something.

    About the archive links, I found a neat workaround: just URL encode the second half: They want to ban compilers and make people think HTML is computer programming.

    It's not worth as much, considering the old board wasn't an AcmlmBoard.

    Is there a way for editing thread titles?

    If you're the thread OP you should have this right, and it's a commonplace feature on pretty much every message board I've registered on (including the former bBoard). But... not here? This surprised me when I came back to my discless Xbone thread to edit the title since it's no longer a rumor but an actual retail product that it's coming to market, hence the need to change the title to reflect the new information.

    UPDATE: Turns out I do have that option, but it's not where you would normally expect it, as part of the "Edit" link on the first post of the thread, but as a separate edit command next to the thread title! That completely caught me off-guard this time. The more you know~~~

    Testing a Wayback Machine link:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20190321093714/http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Sega_Dreamcast_Japan_Missing_Games

    Now, testing the same link through BBcode:

    http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Sega_Dreamcast_Japan_Missing_Games">clicky!

    I BROKE THE BOARD!

    EDIT: Oh, it was already reported.

    But there is a easy workaround: remove the secondary http:// from the URL. It will still work.

    clicky!

    Sometimes when you post an image, it forces the post body to swell up, giving you an ugly horizontal scroll bar, and also cutting off the image.

    Could some directive like this be added to the board CSS?
    table td.post img
    {
    max-width: 100%;
    }

    On the previous board, I recall there was a rule like "don't post obnoxiously big images", but this would fix the problem for people who post images that are big but not quite obnoxiously big.

    Here's an example of what I mean:
