Wedge

Yes, because I can't help but think there's something else we can do that's better.

Aaron, no I don't think it'll be quite that modular, certainly not to start with, perhaps not ever. Certainly I want to make it more modular, but the tradeoff with speed is potentially quite big.

Profile shouts... is that anything like the thoughts system or what's in the profiles here?

Drafts... oh that's already implemented, and better than how I originally wrote the drafts mod. I may have to improve it since I seem to recall someone suggesting quick-moderation-like checkboxes to delete multiple drafts at once, though to be fair, it's now much easier to not save a draft if you don't want to (if you get into writing a message then decide not to post it, there's a remove button that nukes it straight away without having to go into your profile)

SA Shop will need a rewrite. Whether Sleepy Arcade does it or someone else does, I have little doubt that something similar will turn up.

Annoy User is indirectly on my plans to reimplement, seeing how that ultimately I want to get away from the ban system per se (it doesn't work, ultimately, as I discussed elsewhere). I will naturally implement it more cleanly than I did originally.

Subaccounts is the only one that's 'questionable' for me. I can well imagine shop mods, but subaccounts is something I've always thought was counter-intuitive to how the forum is designed structurally. Glancing at Dime's mod, I'm fairly sure we can implement something along those lines (most likely as a plugin) but I see it being quite late on in the day, so to speak - it would require a vast number of things to happen first. (I don't, really, have any great reason to stop it being core, but I don't have any great reason to include it either, if that makes sense)


There is not a single SMF mod that is compatible right now, not even avatar packs.

We don't intend to have a converter, we intend to have an importer, that sits built into the ACP and lets you drag information in from external sources - the plan is to have it support a modular structure that would let you import things other than forums (e.g. the ability to import from specific mods, like alternative gallery mods for example)

Aeva is almost certainly going to be implemented fully into Wedge, because one of the things we've talked about doing is to have Aeva manage attachments as well as being the gallery. I personally think this would kick ass, because it means all the really good stuff like using Highslide becomes available in the forum, as well as being able to place attachments 'in the post' as you like.

That's inline - sorta. The normal process for 'inline' is to throw a different background on it, like moderated posts currently do, and what SimpleDesk does - and that's wrong to me.

What XF does is nicer, much nicer, but it's still a bit close to "You are ignoring this user" for my liking.

I think inline is going to compete with moderated, and if I have a spam post that was moderated, I don't want it just to change colour :P

Hence my thought that maybe we need to find something new to do about it.

Then how do we display it? For that matter how do we restore ids after?

I think we can leave the table alone and just revamp the interface in some way...?

Dragooon, have you tried working with it? It feels hideous in practice - just try it out in SimpleDesk.
