! Buffer hook couldn't load files properly, poor hook. (Thanks live!) (Subs-Template.php)
! Ability to merge current members. Seems to work for me. Does not handle drafts or PMs and probably some other stuff too. The destination account keeps its own profile settings etc., none of those are imported from the source account. Also includes a bonus hook for notifying plugins about reattribution in case plugins want to update their stuff too. (ManageMaintenance.php, ManagePlugins.php, Subs-Members.php, ManageMaintenance.template.php, ManageMaintenance and Modlog language files)
! Reattribution does actually bother to fix reported posts now. (ManageMaintenance.php)

If the topic link is clicked, you go to the topic. If the 'View in MC' link is clicked, you get taken to the reported post in the MC including its full details, reports and moderator comments.

And just because I can, I added a new option to the Reattribute Users screen. Thinking about it, there's more that has to be done with this, but this is the start of it.
Yup: in addition to reattributing old posts to a new user, you can now merge two accounts (source is moved to destination and then deleted)

Archived fixes / Re: Minor suggestion to some modify profile labels
« on May 30th, 2013, 04:05 AM »
I'm still not sure how the whole topics/boards notifications thing is going to work, actually... there is a real practicality issue with the way the shiny notifications system works vs the way the other notifications works (at least from a configuration/UI point of view)

Bug reports / Re: wrong browser title for PM sent box
« on May 30th, 2013, 04:04 AM »
It's more than that. It actually depends what mode you're in as to what you get.
If you're in All At Once, you'll get "Personal Messages - Inbox" regardless of the label (sent or otherwise) that you're in.
If you're in the other modes, you get the message's title instead.
We really need to change this whole set up and stop having it opening messages directly without a message being indicated >_<

This is the second time we've heard this and yet I can't reproduce it... it's not like we've changed anything related as far as I can remember...
Though I seem to recall there was a patch in 2.0.x for something along these lines and we did the same thing as SMF did...

The Pub / Re: I asked my people to take a look at Wedge
« on May 30th, 2013, 03:51 AM »
The former... guess what's already done?
The latter... for the server load it would likely generate, not so smart (Facebook and Twitter don't run on cheap shared hosting unlike Wedge...)

OH HAI it's been like 3 and a bit days since I posted in this thread.
Latest featurette: a list of all the posts of a user that were reported, from their profile. In my test forum there are 3 open reports - only one of which is a report on one of test6's posts, the other two are that troll Arantor posting nonsense as usual. Anyway, I want to see which posts of test6 were reported, and here we are.
Note that I'm very deliberately and consciously not repeating the entire UI from the moderation centre. It's just a view of the posts, if you want to do something with it, that's what the moderation centre itself is for. This is not about managing a user from their profile but getting a complete picture of what's going on. Besides, the mod centre has more detail for pulling up what the reporters said, what moderators have commented, etc. and to me that's just unnecessary extra fluff.

Pulling a proper set of results from a survey is definitely plugin scope, but if the core has the information already, it's no big deal to do anything else after that.

Features / Poll enhancements
« on May 30th, 2013, 02:19 AM »
So I got to thinking today about polls, since I made one, don't do that often enough haahaha.
OK, so here's what I have in mind about improving them. Not saying that all of these *are* going in but this is what's on my mind for them.
* Allowing admin to set the maximum number of poll answers (currently no limit)
* Fixing the bug where way too many answers can cause issues
* Option to display the choices randomly to people viewing the poll (because people have a tendency to pick the first one), though the order would remain consistent for viewing results
* Multiple questions per poll
* Voting with points rather than individual votes (e.g. having 5 points to distribute between 3 answers)
* Pie charts as an optional display type (may or may not use the chart code I had before, dunno)
Thoughts?

Off-topic / Re: Initial forecasts of Wedge installs/conversions
« on May 30th, 2013, 02:09 AM »
Well, Wedge is currently not open source as such (SMF 1.1.x's licence is not open source, but free for use, which isn't the same thing). We have discussed internally as to exactly what licence terms Wedge will have, and we have in the past talked about going paid with it but that raises all kinds of complications, in terms of licensing as well as upsetting people unnecessarily - not to mention the fact that too high means we need to compete with the others in terms of features (which aren't necessarily what *we* want to add) and too low makes it look suspicious.
For example, hands up those people that wouldn't touch Woltlab Burning Board at only $70 or thereabouts as compared to $125+ for IPB, $140 for XF and $209+ for vB? The price looks suspicious compared to its rivals. And people who pay the higher kind of money expect a certain amount of 'code cleanliness' that we don't have (or want)... elsewhere I've talked about the whole OOP vs non-OOP thing, we're not fully OOP, and I doubt we ever will be, plus we do things in an unconventional way but that work for us and what we want to do.
Right now I'm not really that focused on any of that stuff. I'm more interested in just building something awesome, and to a point I don't really want to have to care about pricing or licensing, which is where OSS comes in, open source is just the 'getting to build something awesome' aspect.
