I'll look at it in a bit, just wanted to log that it is the case, really.

Features / Menu bug: separator not removed if it's the first visible item on a menu
« on November 1st, 2011, 01:02 PM »
If a group can see the admin menu, typically because of being able to see the moderate stuff, but don't have access to anything further up that menu, they're given the separator, then the rest of the menu contents. We need to have it skip the separator if it's the first item in a menu.

My problem is that you post so much and such long posts -- they're always interesting to read but many times I'll just consider the fact it'll take me 20 minutes to answer and then you'll answer and that another 20 minutes and that's how I kill so many good conversations with my laziness.
Possibly a reason to use threaded replies?

You will again - just not right now :P
I can't just suddenly turn out 100+ posts, it needs something to catalyse it. Previously that was the black hole that was the SMF support boards, where there have always been more people asking for help than provided it.

Yes, yes it would.
That's why it's important to figure out whether it's truly needed on every member lookup - or if it's not, when it is actually used.
For example, the pm prefs and notify prefs are only called for when handling PMs and notifications respectively, and putting them in a separate table probably isn't going to make a lot of difference (though, it gets complicated when figuring out the whole 'default setting' vs 'user setting' thing in that case without having an explicit row per user)
Whereas I can see the thought being pulled more often (like personal text is)

PHPSESSID breaks it. (And in some cases it breaks your recolouring test too)
But at least it's something I can remove from WedgeDesk now...

There's several fields in the members table already that you could argue about, e.g. pm prefs, notify prefs.
Splitting those off into a separate table might not be a bad idea, they're not required that often in reality.

Features / Not supplying profile links if no permission

This is something I've thought about more than once, and went far enough as to implement a helper function in SimpleDesk for it.
If you can't see other user profiles (e.g. you're a guest), why show the link? It'd save bandwidth, because it's not adding the variety of links per page, plus it means search engines aren't given links to your user's profiles - which means they don't try access them, which saves you a fairly surprising amount of server load.
The downside is *doing it*. Gut instinct tells me it should done after the member group colour replace operation so that we don't have to stick conditional logic throughout the templates.

In other news, to hit 7500 before Nao, I need to make another 93 posts, as opposed to Nao's 20... only time will tell.

XSS like abusing the crap out of you sending your username and password to spam Twitter. Which would be ironic if it weren't for the fact it was spamming malware links.
It would probably be better to have it as two separate columns for performance.

In which case the TARDIS very definitely has not been destroyed. The nearest that happens is what happens in episode 12.
Oh, and there's what happens in series episode 13.
