No, but I have seen the bug and will look into it after dinner+film.

Yeah, I'll investigate this one. It's gotta be related to the sending of drafts along the way.

Maybe there's a "you need to get out more" message? :P

But pushing my buttons probably isn't a good idea >_>

For great justice it should be noted that Wedge being in use on this site should not be considered a 'it's coming very soon' notice. It's ready for us to deploy here, and even then Nao spent pretty much an entire day doing the specific work making it suitable for this site.

Hahaha, yes, that's the best part of having a discussion forum where mostly anything goes, everything goes off topic so quickly and awesomely :D

! If you select remove-draft, it should not be resaved automatically. If you want to save a draft after all, that's what the save draft button is for. (post.js)

The Pub / Re: Improvement to drafts (and posting, actually) I need to do
« on March 17th, 2012, 06:11 PM »
OK, so I've fixed the remove-draft-but-still-saves bug locally. Trying to figure out how best to approach the other issue I mentioned though.

Yeah, that's doable I guess, we can do that. (I'd rather disable it than reset the counter, though.) And yes, it's just happened to me here in testing :/

Hmm, that's odd because it works as expected for me in IE9, but I do get the feeling there is something funky with the editor components in play and their event handling (since I noted issues with Mobile Safari having slow performance too)

SMF is not in itself insecure. It's only insecure when people don't care about security and leave things in place.

If it were up to me, I wouldn't give you any upload facilities whatsoever, and have it ALL done via FTP (much like XenForo, I'll note) but I recognise that that approach isn't very friendly.

Something like SHA Hash password will do better ?
It won't make a single bit of difference.

And how exactly the CHMOD can be reconfigured everytime we make changes ?
That's the point. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO USE CHMOD. If you use CHMOD you still have to make everything insecure. I have a method that expressly does not require CHMOD, but it does require you to supply your FTP password.

Some time ago I read this, now I'm a bit confused.. :P
Because that is a touch naive.

> Not hardly.  Just some things in the forum's directory.  Not, of course, that you should do so with the entire directory - but it won't matter much if you do, so long as your server is configured reasonably correctly.

SHARED HOSTS ARE NOT CONFIGURED 'REASONABLY CORRECTLY'.

Yes, the DB is at no more risk than it would be otherwise. I'm just trying to prevent your forums being hacked, something that is reported pretty much EVERY SINGLE DAY on the simplemachines.org forum.

Or am I wasting my time and energy trying to keep you safe from your site being compromised and I should just stop caring about security?

Hey, thatz not a problem...its been done by me.... I copy pasted the tagged quote and hence its showing such.

No, if I understand properly the problem is that it should have been fixed automatically (and magically) by Wedge! ;)
No, it is a problem, because it shouldn't be working like that. It's created things it shouldn't have done and malformed the tag as a consequence.

LOL... copying for something better is always good. Windows copied MAC, but Windows is more popular/widely used than MAC !!!
No, it just means you're prepared to accept mediocrity. Windows copied Mac but it's not more popular/more widely used because of it, it's more widely used because of things Microsoft did in the 1980s and 1990s to push Windows into offices and schools, not because it's better at what it does.

Features / Re: Badges and the displaying thereof

I'd like to see a badge management system more like an award system. I like others do not like the idea of creating a ton load of groups just to display the badges.
This is something that's bothered me for years as I'm sure you remember from SimpleDesk; groups are currently used as groups but also as roles, and the two need to be separated in some fashion - and this is part of it.

Being able to create a badge and assign to users (maybe it can be optional to assign to an existing group) with the option to display in addition to or in place of primary membergroup badge.
Would you actually have a 'primary membergroup badge', though? Wouldn't you do it all as badges through something like this?
Quote
Additional options to display below the info in the user area, above signature, or in user profile might be useful as well. I'd also go for being able to set a badge to expire in x days.
I can see uses for this, sure.
Quote
If a member is in more than one group that has a badge, maybe display their primary badge as usual and have secondary badges displayed below the info in user area or in their signature.... maybe a setting that a a max of 3 badges can be displayed above the user avatar and all other subsequently displayed in signature on be the info in the user area.
This is where it gets complicated, I'm not sure how that would work exactly.
Quote
One setting I would love if no other is to hide the group name/title when a badge is available... ie: There is a badge for Moderator so I wouldn't need/want the name of the group displayed as well.
That works for me.
