1. Putting the page picker, [previous]|0|1|2|3|4|5|[next], on the top of the page as well as the bottom of the page. I have to scroll all the way down to change pages. This was bothersome when browsing /questarch/ in chronological order. I had to scroll back to the bottom to change the page.

2: A mechanism with which one can hide posts or threads based on entries in the message field, name, ID, trip, email. This would work best as a script for a program like greasemonkey. Something about the sever getting a query for every post to check whether it's hidden or not, if it was done server-side. That being impractical. If a certain person is annoying, like 67c611, and you don't want even want to see their posts anymore you now have the ability to hide them. It's handy. Also an individual hide button for each post in case there was a disturbing picture you don't like to see or a wall of text you didn't want to have to scroll through each time. If you use and appreciate the thread hide function you will use and appreciate this hiding function too.

3)
When looking at a popup post by hovering over a backlink to a really long post (put your mouse over this >>/questarch/135373 ) It won't display the entire post or some of it gets chopped off by the bottom of the screen. This happens most often with backlinks in the newest, and thus closest to the bottom, post where even a moderately long post gets chopped and it's impossible to scroll down further to see the entire post. I don't know what encoding this would entail, but it is not easy as it hasn't been done yet.

Deleting only the image of a post breaks the "Expand all images" function. A thread this can be seen in is >>/quest/333617 where "Expand all images" breaks after post 334110.

Your jackass smartassery is unfortunately misplaced, since I have been reporting such posts (e.g. the last bunch of pure-discussion bumps in Dive), and they've been going untouched after 24 hours (I just double-checked---still there, got to be >48 now, which I think covers most excuses of "the mods were asleep/busy having real-world lives"). There is little point doing a thing which gives no results; if the conclusion is that the mods don't want to enforce that rule, then it may as well be removed from the rules.

Just because you see fit to report something doesn't mean the Mods will see it, after review, as worth doing something about.

>>17643
Congratuations! You agree!

Let me spell this out for you, children. If the mods do not want to act on non-suggestion posts in quests, they should not list them as a thing which are against the rules (and thus in need of reporting). This is mutually beneficial:
1) I don't waste my own time making reports that won't achieve anything.
2) They don't waste their time being interrupted by reports to mark as "no action".
3) Nobody gets mad that I'm "abusing the report system" reporting lots of unactionable things.

And inb4 "there's that post, over there, that you totally didn't report"---see #3. Since right now the moderators don't seem to want to enforce the rule, continuing to report posts violating it is just a waste of everybody's time. (Also see: I don't read every quest.)

Ok, thank you. That clears it up a bit.

So where do we go from here? If mods don't want to delete them (reasonable enough), and only time-starved admins(?) can move them, then it seems to be effectively unenforcable and such reports are useless noise.
>>
No. 17647 ID: 049dfa

>>17646

The admins usually get around to doing a whole bunch of stuff at once, it just usually takes a while before they get the chance to do it. Discussion posts ARE usually just deleted instead of waiting to be moved in the event that the thread creator asks for it to happen, but that happens pretty rarely.

If I could move the posts, I would. I just can't do anything other than move the entire thread (obviously the wrong solution) or delete it (and I prefer to delete as little as possible).

Since not everyone is wise in the way of imageboard magic e-mail strings, hack in a "don't bump" checkbox that implies an e-mail of "sage". Far more discoverable and might help avoid newbies leaving a swathe of necro'd threads in their wake.

Extra credit: tick "don't bump" by default if the last post in a thread was over a month ago.

Extra extra credit: gut the e-mail field entirely and just replace it with some appropriate widgetry for sage/noko/anything else magic, since putting your actual e-mail in there isn't a great idea in the first place. (Extra^3 credit: don't offer noko on boards that already have implicit noko anyway.)

Bitching about the change to the date display:
Tgchan isn't exactly the fastest moving place; replacing the day/month/year format with just "Fri"/etc means it's impossible to tell if that was this Friday, last Friday, Friday 6 months ago, and so on. It also makes it impossible to tell how old a post is.

Dang. I hope there's not been any data loss there; Dakdo's been busily cataloguing ITQ responses on quest pages.

Dylan had said the wiki was going to take about a day to get back up. He didn't mention anything at the time about expecting data loss, so I'm not really worried.

>>25412
Nice to hear someone appreciates those! I've been working through the ITQ threads backwards, so some of the longer lived quests should be getting updates as I pass their creation dates.

Pretty sure that is already a thing, bro. If it won't show up on the catalog, it means the thread probably doesn't have a title.

oh you're right. weird, I must've been looking at an entire board of threads without subjects.

Subject lines are truncated, but at least I can see the first two and a half words... um. You know, I'd like to resubmit my request, this time for having more space for each thread in the catalog, better chance of getting the entire subject line there. Maybe five or six columns of 125px instead of ten columns of 75px each?

I've seen a couple mentions to a board named >>/moo/ but it's not in the left-hand frame list of boards, nor in the list of boards in the upper-left of the right-hand frame.

Is /moo/ supposed to be hidden from noobs? (and am I breaking an unwritten rule by mentioning it here?) Or does the left-hand frame need updating?

While I'm here, I think the 'wiki' link would work better if it had " target='_blank' " to open in a new tab.

"target" is kind of hateful these days, since it removes people's ability to decide if they want links opened in a new tab (middle click) or not (left click).

Slinks' news post reminded me that this thread existed.

Can I have that CORS magic in /TEMP/, Dylan?

I think it's been this way for a while, but remembering to report it: I think the catalog's broken on /meep/.

If you click the last page here on /meep/, the oldest thread (assuming no idiot bumps it) is Stranded In Fantasy. If you view catalog, the oldest one it shows is Random Kitten, and Ctrl-F for Stranded In Fantasy doesn't find it.

It's fine on /questdis/ and /questarch/, both of which have huge catalogs.

Now I think about it, maybe put a direct link to the FAQ? It's not terribly obvious that you can get to it through a tab on the Rules page.

Maybe also stick a link to the wiki's quest guide on the FAQ?
