The log-in does not appear to be case sensitive for the usernames. Noticed this by accident. Passwords are though, so that's good. :D

That's by design really... otherwise there could be an eNigma and an enIgma and an eniGma and so forth. I dunno though. L wrote that.

Yeah, feature by-design. It's a pretty standard thing to make user logins case insensitive, I think.

Posting this here to remind myself to do it later. Modify [url=http://bleh]penis[/url] tags so the url can be optionally enclosed in quotes and it'll still work

can you add a rank box to the user control panel? I want to make mine ಠ_ಠ but I cbf'd to log in to the machine and update it via MySQL.
Yes, I realize I am a double lazy fuck.
Also, lol, the "offsite image" feature doesn't put in width/height tags or anything to resize the image.

Well, I locked this thread when migration melted down, but the fact of the matter is: lulzbb still needs the occasional tweak and/or bugfix (and a lot more features). So, thread reopened to track that stuff. Things I've done in the past few days: Left-hand navigation menu now stays in place while the page scrolls for non-IE browsers (IE doesn't seem to support position: fixed;, tested in IE7 and IE8). The announcement that shows full-time when logged out can be optionally shown while logged in now, and mods/admins (anyone with a purple or red username, respectively) can now edit it. Editing interface is only guaranteed to look 100% correct in Firefox, I'm wondering why this is. Offsite avatars are now subject to the same X/Y dimension size restrictions that uploaded avatars are, this is done via HTML width and height attributes. Aspect ratio of the avatar is preserved, so it shouldn't appear "squished".
Something I've been meaning to do: Tweak YouTube auto-embed so that the flash player isn't instanced until a button is clicked, possibly add a user preference to control this behavior (would involve making the feature a full-blown bbcode feature rather than it just being a wordfilter like it is currently)
Something nobody seems to believe me about when I mention it: The lulz and kill lulz links do something different now
The only conditions under which forum migration will happen now: dev.desudesudesu.org will remain lulzbb in read-only mode for all users, to permanently archive the previous era or something www.desudesudesu.org will be SMF and will start over from scratch I need login info for the account controlling the domain so I can set up SMF (its add-on package management features need that info) I need a period of guaranteed downtime to install and configure it ("guaranteed downtime" means "lack of activity") Things won't be exactly the same, but overall SMF will be a better experience than lulzbb We will not haphazardly modify SMF's code or database the same way we did phpbb's, this led to a smooth migration being impossible.
I'll continue tweaking and bugfixing here and there. Don't count on many new and/or complex features being added.

It might be a good idea to put in a button or link to unfix and refix the navigation menu as it's made it almost impossible to use the site from my phone. When I zoom in to click a link the nav menu overlaps the links so I have trouble getting to anything.

Sounds like get stuff from L and wait for winter break to set in. Hope it happens.

When I zoom in to click a link the nav menu overlaps the links so I have trouble getting to anything. That's possible, especially so given the way it's implemented. Set a cookie when the button is clicked that keeps track of which state it should be in... I'll toss the code onto dev here in a bit. Also, browsing internet from phone lol (more like "lol non-standards-compliant phone browser") Edit (5:34 PM): Okay, code's in on dev. Visit dev.desudesudesu.org from your phone and tell me if it works. It should take immediate effect and should remain the way you set it on future page loads.

Original post by eckstee Also, browsing internet from phone lol (more like "lol non-standards-compliant phone browser") Yeah, it's not ideal, but it's the only way I can visit the forums at work. Original post by eckstee Visit dev.desudesudesu.org from your phone and tell me if it works It works great on my browser but it seems like my phone can't handle it. I can see the button when I'm at the top of the screen but trying to press it doesn't seem to activate anything. There's no text on the button either. I have a touchscreen phone btw so that might cause some more issues.

I used to have internet on my phone, and CAINE forums on mobile devices just doesn't really work. It was good for viewing posts if you could tolerate them being miniature, but posting was a pain (somewhere I know I posted from it, must find post...). I had whatever browser came on the Motorola Hint and there was very little standard about it.

>>25163I never post from my phone for that reason. It's hard enough to text with my touchscreen keyboard, posts are another story. For browsing though I don't find it that bad considering a forum will have a limited number of things I need to see and I can actually get to everything important. Plus I can zoom in to see the text better. I do have to ignore all video posts though, it's just not worth it. A lot of sites are so busy with flash/ads and text placement that trying to use them on the phone is just a big headache. On the other hand a lot of sites with mobile phone versions make some information almost impossible to get in order to have a minimalist approach. While I appreciate the attempt, it would be useful if I can get to everything I could get to from a web browser, even if that means having a very simple page of links that can be scrolled down forever. Scrolling is easy (on my phone anyway) but each link click is a potential 30 sec - 1 min of wait time.

Hmm... The question remains: Would anyone find it useful in a regular browser or should I just remove it entirely?
