I fully understand about hectic RL (I'm in a similar situation but for quite different reasons)

This sounds like the sort of thing where MD5 might work rather well? Perhaps MD5 + the YouTube ID?

How are you viewing the PMs? By one-at-a-time or in conversation mode?

Archived fixes / Re: Minor display glitches in Wireless

Yeah, desktop browser it's going to look odd however you spin it, best to try it on a real mobile-sized platform. I have to admit I've been pretty lax about trying it on either a 4th gen iPod (as that's what I have) or a first-gen iPad (though I never had a problem with the desktop version there)

Archived fixes / Re: Board positioning lists don't update
« on April 29th, 2012, 03:22 PM »
I've fixed this locally but I've noticed another bug in the process.

The board position boxes don't appear if there's only one board in the category, even if there are other categories and places to move to; it just figures that one board in a category has nowhere to go.

And fixed in r1570.

Archived fixes / Drafts not collecting the topic properly
« on April 29th, 2012, 03:20 PM »
I have a draft post saved from a topic (though the fact the draft exists is a result of the QR/drafts bug), but the topic was since moved.

The code validates that it's still in the same board and same topic - but the topic doesn't exist in that board any more, even though it does certainly still exist.

It's not a huge deal except for the fact it doesn't link the title back to the topic and it says that editing it will cause it to open a new topic, even though it actually won't because it will tie it back to the topic properly.

Hmm, I need to try Wireless some more, then, hadn't noticed this so much.

Mind you, are you trying to use Wireless on a desktop browser, or on a real mobile device?

Well, it was annoying me that we had about a 1/3 of the area tied up with an almost entirely empty pair of table cells, which were legacy and needed to be moved somewhere.
Then are you annoyed too at the extra space left by the sidebar in long pages...?
(Heck, I could very well set up the sidebar so that it's a float and thus allows the page to extend, but I'm not a big fan of the idea of not letting the user control the maximum width of a post, at least per page...)

In that case, check the board's configuration and check you set the default ordering correctly ;)
Default ordering? There's default theme, default language, but no default ordering, is there...?
I actually have the sidebar at the bottom because I don't have my browser at full size (it would look a bit silly in other sites to run at 1920 wide)

As far as ordering, there isn't a UI for it, just as there isn't a UI to determine whether a board is a blog or not. However, in the boards table there is the sort_method and sort_override columns, sort_method defaults to last_post (order by last post in a topic) with the direction being set as naturally descending.

The override part allows four options: ascending/descending and natural/forced. Natural means that it defaults to whichever you've set of asc/desc, but forced means that it only allows that order and sort method.

Sorting method can be based on subject (alphabetically), starter, last poster (both by user name IIRC alphabetically), number of replies, number of views, and first post and last post. Blogging, typically, would use first post rather than last post.

The original version of the code that I got it from, and two adapted versions (first for SimpleDesk, second for Wedge), none of those used jQuery.

Sounds good to me though :)

Actually, as far as the view vs reply count, I figured that the view count was only of modest importance and thus fitted in small writing next to extra information rather than being as prominent as at the foot of the post (i.e. where you read the post then press reply to it or to see the comments) Can try moving it if you want, no big deal.

In that case, check the board's configuration and check you set the default ordering correctly ;)

Yeah, IE supports that but others don't >_<

I think we'll have to deal with this on a case by case basis in the JS, really, and just look for cases where we manually push ;xml onto the URL from JS where we might not otherwise.

Nao, please feel free to abuse this commit however you see it, it was just bugging me how the blog layout needed work.

Apart from the fact that it's out of date and never really worked properly.

We do not wish to add any of those out of the box. Relying on third parties for core features is actually a really bad idea, though we've looked at making them plugins in the past.

OK, so I fixed the UI bug and added it to the registration page. It isn't pretty, but it's still better than what we have now.
