Can you make it wrap back around to the first post when reaching the last post? That would be really trick. :)

Go to the first page of a multi-page topic. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page, then a little bit more (with the mouse wheel), marvel at the next page magic loading.
Oh my gawd! That sent a shiver up my legs!

How many more toys are waiting to be played with around here?

Don't tell me now - I don't want to open all the presents at once.[1] :p

 1. But it's just SMF with a few minor additions right? :rotfl:

OK, I'm going to plead complete ignorance at this time and beg for mercy.

What is "infinite scrolling" and how do I check it out? :hmm:

 :edit: Nevermind I Googled it, I didn't before because I thought it was a local idea.

But does it work here?

No, but you can *trivially* add that yourself and word it to suit. That's the really neat part about it, you can configure the wording and the punishment for it in about 5 minutes.
Oh great. That will come in handy. :)

People constantly post rebuttals without linking to the original source. Man I can't stand it when they do shit like that.

Off-topic / Plagiarism Warnings?
« on June 8th, 2013, 01:43 AM »
I read that you were adding pre-determined sorts of warnings, such as signature violations and others.

Would you (or have you) added one for plagiarism? We run across that issue a lot on my forum and another one I help with.

Thank you.

... is basically SMF with a different name minus a few minor features from what I have seen.
Minus a few minor features?

Minus?

That's ... crazy. :tss:

I don't know, conversation of earlier today means I might end up doing some one-off development for a custom installation of Wedge (that I'll be running on my server but with things that aren't going to be stock features)... will see how the summer pans out.
Well well, isn't that interesting. So many questions ... but, I've decided to support this project in any menial way I can, such as I am able. I'll take this chance to thank you and Nao for your hard work and all that.

Don't worry about the release date - a fine wine takes a long time to mature. :)

Yeah, I went to the US last summer, and I'll be over again shortly but unfortunately I won't really have time to hang around here much :(
Well I hope you have a good visit, and perhaps a deserved break from this project?

I'll dump all my ideas on you when you return ...

No, I won't. :)[1]
 1. I'll dump then on Nao

Well, it's also the fact that I'm headed out to America soon and will only have sporadic access for several weeks so I'm also trying to figure out what I can get done in that time.
Oh wow. Have you been here before? In any case I will send a pre-welcome to you from Texas. :yobrother:

Interesting idea, very interesting.
Thanks.

I have some ideas for the display for persistence, but I know you guys are concentrating on an Alpha release.

I have some ideas on post rank settings too, any time you need more diversions ... :)

Really, it only triggers if Wedge can't fix the tags by itself.
I went back to the post I thought was giving me the notice before I fixed what it told me to fix. I took out what I thought it was that caused the notice to appear, but I can't get it to appear again. I may not be duplicating it the same way. I'll play with it some more, because it interests me. :)

Ah, yes, regarding reproducing the 'notice', you'll have to do more than what Wedge/SMF can fix, and small trivia for you: it also works in quick edit mode, although I think it doesn't tell you what tag is wrong IIRC, but it still kindly warns you of a problem ;)
Well I just tried a test and I made a lot of quoting mistakes and made a big mess and I never could get the notice. When I got the notice yesterday I only forgot one quote ending tag. Oh well ...

Yes, there is a feature to attempt to find missing bbcode tags and warn the user about it. In theory any mismatch of tags should prompt it except it doesn't always work as intended.
Oh, well I thought it was pretty cool, so that's why I wanted to go back and see the message again. :) But I was brought down because I couldn't. :hmm:

Quotes in particular are actually a bit fecked, as they are in SMF itself incidentally. There is all kinds of hidden logic buried deep in the parser about fixing improperly nested tags and there's actually bugs in SMF filed years ago as to the various problems it can cause, especially when it tries to fix table tags.
Hidden logic. I love hidden logic, it's my favorite. Some people think I have hidden logic, which is why I work so hard to prove otherwise. :rotfl:

As far as the bbc parser is actually concerned your example above is quite legal because it will be silently fixed. :/
Well I'll be ... ::)
