I've done some work on this one, tweaking it a bit. The admin page is quite capable of loading/saving entries at this point, I just have to modify the core verification code to use it.

But this is the sort of thing I had in mind when I decided to implement it. :)

(Btw, the number of questions is limited to the fewest in the supplied languages, e.g. if you put in two English questions and one French, it won't let you ask users for 2 questions since French only has one. The remaining plan is to try and offer the questions in the language currently in use, much as language processing actually uses, between session/user preference/forum default/English fallback)

I still have a *little* more to do with it but it's mostly done.

It's not quite perfect yet.

The dynamically-added item doesn't have the link image back to the profile area, and for some reason the dynamically added name does not have the user link colouring, e.g. if I reply to a thought, the @ name in the reply does not take on the colouring for consultants or admins.

Plugins / Re: Crazy plugin-related idea I just had

Well, I should get the plugin manager to disable those too.

Note that the related circumstances I've seen with Dragooon's notifications plugin are applicable.

You didn't explain that at the time, you just said unless we turned over half the rights to you, you weren't interested - and given how things had just happened with us and SMF, we weren't even remotely interested in sharing anything.

If only I'd built that configuration tool -_-

But apparently the test was carried out successfully on both SMF 1.1 and 2.0... might just be worth trying it there for now?

I was told with some certainty that the closed tag actually supports parameters. I was sure it doesn't but the conviction behind the person who told me makes me wonder if I'm wrong...

Would seem like it, but on the other hand, your browser should still allow you to remove it. Unless you're using IE, in which case it may or may not allow you to (seeing that Live.com is owned by MS IIRC)

Perhaps it's time we went back and looked over all the code and figured out what all of it did - including the protection code and whether it's all really necessary.

Oh, btw, I very kindly got told that, in theory, a closed bbc could accept parameters - something I've not tried but it would clean up the media bbc if it's true.

@feline, what Nao is getting at is back when Wedge was still very young and fragile, we were interested in having you on board but you basically told us that you weren't interested in being involved unless we turned over half the rights to you.

@PantsMan, nice to know how messed up the banks are about this.

I did say it wasn't very pretty ;) It's also very much not finished right now, of course. But it's certainly going to be an improvement once it's finished.

Every little helps though :)

After we had some... interesting... comments regarding the Q&A at Noisen, I figured I'd solve it once and for all.

So here's what I'm currently working on, making the anti-spam Q&A support multiple languages and support multiple answers. The UI's the first part I'm tackling and so far this is where I'm up to. It's not quite as pretty as it could be, but it certainly seems to be coming together.

Well, more for boasting about when places get hacked into and sharing all the details of who did so :/

Actually it does... I tested. It works on the parent table for the flash objects, as well as directly on the frames for iframe embedding (YouTube...)
So it's not too hard to implement some nice styling around videos to specify the URL, allow for resizing (if technically possible) and things like that..
I think that sort of depends on what browser you use as to whether that's the case. But it certainly would be nice :)

Signature filtering is doable with his technique, too.
I know that and you know that but he hasn't done so yet. Even now, after all this time, he still hasn't figured it out, and I'm enjoying not telling him how, after all the things that happened.

Never looked much into AeMe code eh?
I've just never had to. But if I can get a grip on how it works, I might be able to figure out a good way to pluginify some of the sites.
