Off-topic / Re: Kaspersky Antivirus always alert the js script contains virus

It's their heuristic detection method, it is woefully zealous.

Oh sure, but in vB's case, I've noticed an abnormal trend towards fanboyism, moreso than I see from the other forum systems.

At TAZ and a bunch of other places, there's a huge mindset that vB is best because it's most expensive - and nothing's going to change that. Not even as awesome as Wedge will be.

Thing is, I'm really not sure *why* vBulletin is successful. I can't see anything enticing or endearing about it.

Well, considering that it's put out 5 RCs in over 2 years... that's generally bash-worthy. And, it's not vB, so it's automatically kind of doomed.

There is a sidebar. It is not particularly customisable.
Nothing says this will be the final state of play by release. IOW, we're not sure and it's not high on our priority list right now...

Plugins / Re: Mods - no not *that* question!
« on May 3rd, 2011, 01:58 PM »
Don't get me wrong, it is a burden. But it's manageable if you can be bothered to put the time into it.
At the time I was on the Cust. team, there were I think 8 members of the team, and I remember telling them repeatedly that if each person looked at one per week, there would never be a problem!
I used to only take half an hour or so to review most of the mods - only big ones ever took longer, to be honest.

Message:
! Sync to SMF 10503
! r10498 Fix the header bar in reports area to be category rather than title. (Reports.template.php) (SMF rev also changed Admin template, this was already done in Wedge)
! r10499 Fix to stop linktree anchors scrunching in IE6 and IE7. (index.css) [Bug 4651]
! Not including
! r10500 Making category titles not into links if they're not collapsible - in our case, the category header wasn't even a link to start with.
! r10501 CSS change for layout related bug on collapsed categories - bug doesn't affect us as far as I can tell or reproduce (see bug 4639)
! r10502 Renaming 'Packages' to 'Package Manager' just for consistency in the menu (this was a reported bug!)... well, they're not called packages here...
! r10503 Restructuring the size of dl items in the admin panel just because it throws scrollbars when using the existing sidebar on sub 1024 wide screens... no thanks. (The dl becomes 25% wide and the dt 71% wide...)
! Other
! Fix category links to point to #category_n instead of #cn because the category title anchor no longer exists. (Load.php, Recent.php, Search2.php, Unread.php, Unreadreplies.php, ModerationCenter.template.php) (Replaces SMF r10500 only done so much nicer)

Plugins / Re: Mods - no not *that* question!
« on May 3rd, 2011, 01:00 PM »
Honestly, we haven't thought too much about that just yet.
Building a mod community is quite a way down the list - and you can bet that we'll (or certainly I will) be building mods too.
I should note that I was able to keep on top of the mod queue by myself when in the Cust. team on SMF (back in autumn 2009, mod authors were getting feedback the same day as submission!) so it's not like that's too much of a problem.
Honestly, though, I think we're veering away from doing that to a degree because it causes more problems than it solves; it places a burden on us to babysit the community, and while it does encourage a degree of quality, it sort of makes us responsible.
As I said recently (not sure if it was in the public boards or not), our responsibility lies somewhere between creating the base platform and fostering a modding community; we're not responsible for building mods, nor are we responsible for policing them - but that doesn't mean we can't make it our responsibility.
I would note, actually, that with the right environment it can be done for the benefit of users - note the difference between the Apple store and the Android Marketplace; Apple stuff tends to be better vetted - Android stuff not so much.
tl:dr; We're not planning on it but the whole modding thing is a long way off really.

The Pub / Re: Wedge.org FAQ board
« on May 3rd, 2011, 11:21 AM »
Well, Nao wrote a feature for Noisen that basically allows a board to be specified as a blog and provides a new template for it; I implemented something similar into Wedge so it's possible out of the box in Wedge.
(Really, if you look at it, it is almost entirely just different templates)

Features / Re: AeMe reusability of your album images
« on May 1st, 2011, 10:38 PM »
Would it be that hard to make a limited browser facility in a popup, so it's not just limited to your latest x uploads but, say, all your media?
* Arantor is not yet that familiar with AeMe's codebase.

For the second time... It will be something that can be tackled as a mod rather than as a core feature.
