Mostly just a service update, however mood avatar system has recived a recode thanks to @Gywall.

Changes made in this update:

• Revamped Mood Avatar management (if you run into an issue you can access the old one here
• Fixed typo in FAQ.php (Thanks @Anya)
• Started code restructuring. Many low level coding changes. Please note of anything not working immediately

Minor version update to 2.5.1.

We reached the following stated goals completed during this minor version cycle:

---

*Post Radar
*Readd an All Staff sort to the member list
*Using GFX Lib to show Number of new Post on index.php
*Update the FAQ from scratch.
*Fix the bug that shows forum names if they are accessed directly on forum.php via forum ID number.

Total Complete: 6

---

Now that wasn't all we've done, but those were considered goals. We actually implemented more in the smaller/backend section, plus most of the changes were done before a roadmap was setup.

Changes made in this lastest update:

• In board permissions and group editor.
• more register_global tweaks/fixes
• Moved the badges display to below the RPG stats.
• @Gywall implemented a new birthday system. It should help fix the birthday box showing up days before/later. This feature required everyone's birthdays to be erased. Please check your profiles and re-enter your birthdays. (Please report any issues with this feature in a thread on the development forum if you should find any issues)

Welp onward to 2.5.2!

Another service update

Changes made in this update:

• register.php: remove useless proxy check, optimize 'username already taken' check (and adapt it to UTF8), and remove silly hacks. Added extra double reg protection
• memberlist.php: fix sorting/sex.
• Fix themes that didn't theme < button> correctly. (also a fix for Touch of Purples and color inputs)
• Implement an improved version of that dynamic poll interface.

This is mostly a service update.

Changes made in this update:

• Added Luna's 'Simply Luna' theme
• Fixed some issues with the shop
• @Mega-Mario applied a few security fixes.
• Many issues related to register_globals.

More to come...

Since I've not been around for a while a lot of small stuff was done to the development tree before I left (and some after, thank you @Gywall). Once I started to move I just stopped cold as I had many other things to do. So here is the update. The last commit was on the 26th of April, hence the version number.

Changes made in this update:

• Cleaning the threadsread a little.
• Added youtube to post toolbar. Fixed missing flash on the tool bar for edit.
• Added youtube to toolbar for editpost for testing
• Changed css to a dark theme for prettify
• Added prettify lib by google for syntax color
• possible birthday fix
• Quick fix for &tags breaking in private messages.
• Fixed new.php not showing hot closed
• added addtional CSS hooks for new poll, edit forum, ignore/unignore forum, etc
• Added link images to ARHD and kafuka themes
• Other things I missed since it's been what a month?

Changes made in this update:

• Added support for displaying # of threads unread on the forum page.
• Added a forum/thread indicator system. Currently it uses the classic 8-bit font.
• Added the ABI theme from April fools. Currently it lacks the images for links, but we're working on that.
• Total cols. added to active users
• Other minor tweaks for flooding and empty threads

Addendum update:

• Added the link images (New Reply, New Thread) to the themes "Acmlm's ROM hack domain" and "Kafuka". I will add it to some of the other classic themes later on.
• fixed the display of all the icons for hot closed and new closed. (Let me know if it still bugs out)
• Added css info to allow a theme to override some of the board links with images. (New Thread/Reply, Edit Thread, New Poll, +1, -1)

Most of this update was all backend and future user side configuration changes.

Changes made in this update:

• Rewrote parts of the IRC output system to be more configurable by a board owner.
• Built functions to generate IRC color code and style tags
• Added feature to print a symbol, color, or both for a user's group on IRC>
• Polls can be previewed before you post them
• IRC now has sex color option. If enabled it will show different board owner specified colors for Male or Female. N/A is default IRC name color
• Fixed date sort on stats.php (FINALLY, sorry)
• Many small fixes and code clean ups.

I am sure I missed some and I'll add them as I remember

IRC Nick Prefix/Colors

For kafuka I've enabled "Gender Color, Group Symbol" which means that if they are Local Mod (+), Mod (%), Admin (@), or Root (~), those symbols will be displayed in the color for the group. Everyone will get their nick printed with the color of their gender set in their profile.

Colors are in flux and will be adjusted over time.

Changes made in this update:

• Badges now pulls from it's own table instead of the old tokens table
• Badges table on a user's profile will no longer show if they don't have any.
• And a lot more coding for badges. This will be the first of the foundation code.
• Built a switch to turn off syndromes from the server config. (t's still 'on' on Kafuka)

Badges

This system still is far from functional but I've made some progress. If you want to get an idea of what it will look like I've added the two test badges from my dev server to my profile here.

Changes made in this update:

• Added Option to switch to minipics view on memberlist for more compact lists

• @ name should no longer render in a code block.
• the PM icon should no longer have a border in IE

• Added Configuration Support to change the PoRA to a name of your choice (doesn't effect Kafuka)

Also there was a follow up added by Epele that adds a few new smilies.

This one is mostly a bug fix update...

Changes made in this update:

• Changed the placement of the 'instant redirect' bar to be less obstructive
• Implementation of a "Theme of the day theme" This theme will pick a theme and it will stay that theme for 24 hours. After that period it will change to another theme.
• Ported the NotRO website theme to an ABII theme. (It's called Shades of Purple)

Changes made in this update:

• Added 'instant redirect' to most of the post submission areas. (See the note below)
• Fixed Thread title bug allowing no title
• Quick reply no longer shows up in a closed thread
• &HTML tags not being displayed correctly when editing posts
• fixed an additional line break added below a User's name in between a user's group (still shows nothing/blank space for normal users at this time.)

The new Instant Redirect can be enabled in your profile. Currently the feature isn't fully integrated to all the places as of yet, but it will work on the most common areas (posting and threads). The floating window is dismissed by clicking on it, or by a built in timer. This feature is experimental and unpolished. Let us know of any major issues with it.

Changes made in this update:

• Kawa implemented
  
  Enjoy!
  
  

Changes made in this update:

• Updated Thread title to be a uniform 100 chars.
• fixed the custom title issue
• Kawa implemented a ABXD style Display name system. Basically gives you a soft alias you can rename.(*DISABLED* until we can test it more. The board staff, will have access soon for testing, than if it works we'll roll it out to all. )

Changes made in this update:

• Changed how the PM displays. It will display a grey icon with 86% alpha when you have no new PMs.
• Added patch to disallow +1 of own thread
• Implemented a rarity system for sprites (Thanks to Epele)
• Fixed a line of code that prevented sprites 101+ from bring picked.
