How was everyone's New Years? Do you have any plans or an outlook on the year?

.. or are we all going to die in December OoooOOOOooo..

I don't have any major goals or anything right now other than to get NotRO finished and to keep working on ABII's code.

How about you?

I wish there was an easy way to convert my ABXD themes to AB2.5
Especially Panda, Neptune and Umbreon...

---

There isn't an easy way to convert AB1 to AB2 either. KP actually did it by hand. maybe we could write a converter utility at some point?

I have one, but I don't really use it. I do have one of my photos up (from 2007)

http://emuz.deviantart.com/ As a semi-pro I've had my photos used in at least one indie album, and I've done cosplay, band, and a few professional gigs. I've had stuff in art shows too. However I haven't taken any pictures in a long while :/

It's pretty clear to me that Acmlm is best.
Imagine a world without AcmlmBoard...

IPB v3.5 - 15 seconds to pull up a thread, bloated everything, not worth it if you don't pay for it. ETC.

That's were we would be. Actually Acmlm started with wwwthreads and frequented many UBBs back before Acmlm's Board.

Slightly fuchsiaish red NSFW tag

I don't know if that applies to ROM hacking.. but I just put one on the general section.

Well there are a (few) people using their monitor in portrait mode (flip it to the side, then flip the monitor within the control panel of the graphics card).

---

I do that at work for my work e-mail. I can see how that would useful for DIII.

..As for the conspiracy theories about December... Fuck that noise. I mean, just look at the last several hundred End of the World hoaxes we've seen in the recent times. Nothing's gonna happen. I call it now.

Indeed, just there to add drama to our lives.. and all that

I usually take it pretty easy on New Years Eve, about the most wild thing I did was using the fireworks I bought.

As for plans, well there is a certain project I want to continue on.

Same here.

I find phpBB to be quite solid forum software, although Acmlmboard 1.x easily had more features back in the day. Plus Acmlmboard always had that charm.

---

phpBB is pretty decent, and pretty fast. It has a decent amount of mods too, but nowhere near as complete as vB. If Acmlm kept developing the board, and there was a serious dev team / effort, it probably could be a competitor in the open-sauce arena.

---

That's what we are. Kafuka is the public board, and ABII is the development project.
Our goal is to go full Open Source after a few closed reversion. Right now Bouche implemented an advanced permissions system, while incomplete allows us to do everything from Host forums with specific access per user/group or to block a single asshat from posting in a sigle forum.

Another system called "badges" while not finished yet will allow us to give people something more tangible for "mosts". Plus they will be tied to effects like the old Xkeeper Googles and such B2 had.

That's just what I can think of off the top of my head...

So yeah. I agree

"badges"

---

I got the Dodongo Badge at seven sprites.

Please tell me the sprite appearance rate is going to be massively toned down like KP9000 said it would be.

---

That would be a big yes. In fact that sql table that is used right now for the auto given badge is on will be changed so you won't have it for too long. Enjoy the sweet badge for a while as Mr Debugger gunna pull him from ya. :'(

Currently this is poorly stored. Add or change sections as needed. Move done items to Done. add/update/whatever as needed
please sign anything you are working on (accepted by: Emuz)
(?) means it needs discussion or it's not clear if it would be useful
**IMPORTANT** Means it's high priority, but not urgent
*PRIORITY* means it should be done ASAP
(something) means it falls under a sub category or it's a note about it

Core Board Functions

*+1 Sorting
*Watched and/or Favs threads
*Change the PM icon to have a GFXlib number of new messages.
*Allow the PM notification to be text **OPTIONAL**
*Celebration mode (rainbow) with global on and off, by badge, and possibly as a perm
*Other than celebration moding a birthday user, find a way to change their nick.. maybe glowing rainbow?
*fix tags to be slim lined, new font and base graphics if needed
*option to use the text tags from B2 style for those who like it.
*Photo Albums
*Search for username on Member list.
*Dynamic fields for user profiles
*Stack exchange style forum tags (?)
*Global Forum Tags
*Page listing Forum tags, and where they can be used
*New forums currently start marked unread. Have them start read
*simplified version of "latest posts" underneath Who's Online in the index page (limit to last 5)
*Peek updated to be javascript-based instead of refresh-based
*JS-based viewing of older post revisions
*Mods have a check box or something that when you post you can "post & close" "Post & Trash"
*Mods have a check box or something that when you make a new thread you can close, stick, or lock it on first start
*perm to edit closed posts/post on closed threads
*Email notifications (and options)
*And with that, thread subscriptions (part of Fav threads?)
*Way to edit polls
*Way to set a fixed amount of "mutli votes"
*Variableize or something with the Custom title values to make it easier for a board owner to define in config.php or whatever instead of hunting in the code.
*Make sure announcements can't be forum ignored
*Fix the bug that shows forum names if they are accessed directly on forum.php via forum ID number. PRIORITY (see here)
*If you can see past revision of posts, allow you to use the diff function to diff between 2 (or more) revisions
*Show when something has been edited "like New does but "Updated" or "Edit" "
*Show "EDITED" on Announcements (see NEW! marker for announcements)
*Warp Whistle Reply needs AJAX powered 'Quote' link to dump the quote into the quick reply.
*Restoration of "Logged out Posting" controlled by a global disable in permissions/settings
*A Wiki Style "Reason for edit" when you edit a post/annc/etc. If present display that at the top by the last "revision" info
*Make sure there is a way to collapse and expand 'over run' numbers on edits. (see this very thread as an example)
*This a good idea. Suggestion for double posting I would make it separate perm and allow anyone with the double post perm to double post (a check box?) if implemented. This almost needs the Edit "new" flag.
*Move the +1 to it's own col. and make a gfx lib render for it.
*Make the public 'stalking' mode less detailed. Bouche's implementation of a page name is good solution.
*Update board lockdown code for new permissions system
*Investigate twitter style "mentions page" (IE Search for all @ or [user= tags for yourself and render a list of theads/posts.
*PoRA uses a different pasing mech. Needs preview and filter support
*RSS Needs fixing. Currently displays a board2 banner, and an out of date copywrite

Database

[Tags] System

*soundcloud embed tag
*wiki tag that links to the article by name

&replace& System

*we need a /me (ie: "/me blah blah blah" would be

"* Emuz blah blah blah"

)

Input Methods

*Convert the current posting format/style (limited HTML, [tags]) to input method type called "Acmlmboard Classic"
*Add a new Full HTML Input Method called *Something Mario that funny* that will not be allow by default permissions wise and will be something and add or distable to a user on the fly. It won't be completely freeform html but it will have only a few restrictions.
*Add a WYSIWIG style editor ( knuck had an idea on this). It should support all of our [tags] as well as &tags& and fit in the theme of the board/post layout. "*Another humorous mario style pun name here*"
*A way to switch between all three modes on the fly when you post. The most difficult part would be WYSIWIG to plain text. The rest is server side for full HTML.
*Profile default for type of reply, and permissions to allow or deny uses of any of them.

Graphical

*Port some of Shroomy's themes over if he can find them
*Support for images for 'New thread/Post/ etc links in ABII's theme format.
*Possibly giving the mainbar it's own css class based on user id (?)
*Store the CSS for a user's profile DB side. This will allow us to sanitize, and bundle into a single .css instance.
*Visual Indicator for stickies
*Theme preview mechanism (see: Themes (a way to preview them on the fly))

Sprites System

*Update the spoiler tag to be AJAX rich, and collapse.

Badges System

*Badges need a system to support effect. (IE: hide sprites, low level sprites, Xkeeper googles)
*Badges needs a way to be automatically distributed upon completetion of a goal/achivement
*Badges need a store for the ones sold
*Need a place to change badge, and give/take them away for admins

ABII Battle System (Powered by Acmlm and knuck)

*Look at and finish Acmlm's Battle system?
*Layout uses for the item system
*Layout how badges can effect the game side in addition to the forum effects proposed

Misc

*!commands for the IRC bot
*jabber intergration (?)
*Make this list something manageable!

Feel free to rework this list into something is useful. It needs it badly now that it's more than just Bouche and I looking at it primarily.

---

Suggestions:

---

hey Emuz can we get a feature that shows us if topics we have posted in have gotten new replies?
[180214] just clicking LATEST POSTS sometimes is too much clutter

2011....Not a fan. But 2012 is absolutely gonna kick ass. I tried to get married, lol. I did end up getting back into school though.

Ahh.. sorry to hear that. Welp 2012 indeed

Yay quote trifecta!

Hey everyone!

Really a blast from the past here... even the old "ROM Hack Domain" scheme I used for awhile. But I will say... now not having the New Thread button while in a thread is weird.

---

Well the buttons are not textures only because the current theme system doesn't support them. That'll actually be fixed sometime in the future. *put it on the list*

I see what you did there...

I'll get pictures of my setup soon. It's 3 monitors two computers.. and a turntable. .

stay tuned. or something.. (I'd go with something..)

While this may be a fringe case, it may be worth it to wipe this bug from the software now before it gets forgotten amongst the sands of time.

Currently, normals only have one forum left fitting this fringe case - the IRC discussion forum.

---

A short term solution is to go into the forum and hit "Mark forum read" at the top and it will clear it. also can do the same with the whole board too.

Noted for future reference.

はい。過負荷が一番です！

and I am sure I fucked that up. It's been 8 years lol

I think there should be a rule where layouts that don't scale with high resolutions or use fixed backgrounds should be changed/removed. For example, Acid is a theme that, in it's raw form, goes terrible with any high resolution because the images are large and the text is tiny. Snowy has a fixed background image and it just looks awful with it being in the corner and not even taking up half the screen. So one half has a "snowy" background while the other half is just grey.

I haven't check the other ones, but hopefully you get my point.

---

\

We'll look into it for sure. I've personally not look at every one of the Acmlm's Board II/board2 ones yet.

Posted by Shroomy

---

if you have all the old files, then by all means go for it. i think this board clearly needs themes with more checkers in them.

---

So.. If you check out the themes "Alternate" and "TwilightRO Classic" you'll find prebuild checkers

Come to think of it.. Maybe we should finally implement layout as a partial function of the board? at the least maybe how Xk did Jul a background image slot in the profile, and maybe one for CSS too? What do you guys think?

There really aren't many pictures of me on the 'net. This is the only one I could find..


My SGU costume from Dragon*CON in 2009 Yup those guns are so bad ass they are made of plastic and couldn't even make a clicking noise.. props.. they look good.. and that's it.
