Would mean current installs would be unable to use AeMe..?

Okay, two opinions is good enough, so I ditched it... I replaced it with a quickly made variation. The petals are now smaller, they fit the font's main text size, and I changed the font to something more 'natural'[1], to match the idea.
I think it's better than my previous attempt at using the petals. (Oh, and also I added a subtle inner glow on the lower petal.)

No, it isn't dropped... It's just scary. The amount of work involved in this... Considering it took me 7 more time to implement thoughts than expected, and I expect the attachment/avatar rewrite to take a week at best, that would make it 7 weeks if I'm optimistic... :^^;:
Thing is, we *can* perfectly use Wedge here without doing the rewrite, because once the feature is written, I'll write an internal converter to turn regular attachments into AeMe items. Or we'll just include it into your importer... (IIRC one can do a partial import of only some specific data... Well maybe I can import the current database's attachment table into the current database's media table :P)
All media items at wedge.org at considered 'temporary' anyway. They may or may not be deleted later.

MessageIndex has a custom block, not a custom template, so that's in line with what I'm looking for in the display template.
However, I'm not a big fan of reproducing the same code across two functions... I think we should do something about it.

Yep, yep...
My, is it me or are we just in a quiet period? :P
I'm hurrying up to finish Risen (which I long left taking dust in a shelf if I may say), before I get to start Skyrim... Plus I'm starting to hate taking two weeks to implement something I originally intended to do in two days... :whistle:

Okay, now that we've established the text font, I've updated the 'hover' logo with the petal version.
Please comment!
(It's not pixel-perfect like the previous logo... That's because I re-used the old file, instead of making a new one. Too time consuming.)

Bump.
Also... What's left to integrate into Wedge before I can install it on Wedge.org...?
I'm not sure at this point. I'll keep a copy of the database (and site) around in a sub-folder after making the switch, so I can easily import anything missing, but I'd like to be sure I have as much available as possible beforehand.

..like Noisen/Wedge.org? :P
I can deal with it if you want... It would make sense since I'm used to it anyway. Just need to figure out how to 'present' the thing without making a new template just for blogs... (I guess we'll need to add a custom block for them.)

Although right now Wedge's blog support needs some work -- even if it's just the theme, the message index isn't really 'clean' to me and we'll have to rewrite it to get something like Wedge.org. And posts, err... I don't think topic pages have a blog variation?

Over at noisen.com, it's not used MUCH, but then again the website isn't very well known. I estimate that around 20% of my regular users opened a blog, usually the most regular ones. A good portion of Noisen's posts come from blog posts and comments.

rev 1153
(6 files, 9kb)
* Thought reply/edit/delete button are now generated through JavaScript, to save bandwidth. Well, on my local install it used to be done in the HTML... (index.template.php, script.js, index.member.css)
+ Forgot to add a cache flush for pretty URLs when moving topics. I'm not even sure it'll run, since I don't use the high-level cache and this is some awfully ugly raw code. Pete? (MoveTopic.php)
* Not even worth mentioning. (RemoveTopic.php, Subs-BBC.php)

Is it worth splitting the Thought object into its own file...?
It is 3.09KB for now, and possibly more in the future.
Pros:
- this saves about 1KB (after minification and gzipping) for guests (9.48KB -> 8.65KB)
Cons:
- adds a '-thoughts' or something to the script URL (not a big deal)
- adds extra file_existes/filemtime etc on each page load
- why move only one object to its own file, and not all? (only, all other objects are called by guests too...)
So at this point... I'm not exactly sure what's best.

How so? I only see three 'topics'. Confusing.
