So. Basically, this is that tech wishlist thread.

I'm not setting the rules or anything up (I'll leave the mods to edit this to add some) but at the very least try not to be ridonkulous.

QUOTE BUTTON

Indeed, a quote button would be nice.

Also, if possible, could we replace the default favicon with an HH one? I made one already.

That's it, up there. The tiny HH thingy. Also visible here.

Anonus · 2012-05-14 22:45:50

There's a folder related to this theme that lets you do that, isn't there?

lee4hmz · 2012-05-14 22:47:11

No. Never. If you ask for one you're a bad troll, a very bad troll and deserve to post only in Pony Pink Comic Sans 4 LYFE.

Seriously, there's probably a Vanilla plugin that does it. It'd certainly be easier than trying to hack the application itself to do it! If AU and CA don't come up with something overnight, I can look once i'm up.

And yes, I did go and look up Pinkie Pie's RGB values for that joke. #yntkt

BADGES!!! :D

We don't need no stinkin' badges.

The Quotes plugin is now enabled. I'm working on the favicon now.

Ok, works with one.

Sweet.

I'll kind of miss the "______ sez" though.

ProfessorGator · 2012-05-14 23:05:21

My only issue with it is that it might be difficult to see against the blue background of your own posts. But it is a fairly brighter color than that, so this is more of a minor nitpick than anything.

Allow me to test this:

Huh. It's actually pretty easy to see. Complaint retracted.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-14 23:05:26

how does one quote plugin.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-14 23:07:40

Every post now has a "Quote" next to it. Look and you'll see

lee4hmz · 2012-05-14 23:08:13

There should be a "Quote" option next to "Flag" by the post date/time.

And it works well.

So I see.

lee4hmz · 2012-05-14 23:10:08

The favicon should be working now, too. Vanilla wants it in PNG, but that's a one-liner once ImageMagick is installed:

# convert favicon.ico favicon.png

Sweet!

I feel so accomplished, having my logos and stuff on a semi-popular obscure site :)

Thank you, Lee.

Dunno. I think it's if you quote all the text?

@Lee: Quick question: when I quote most people, I get the new style with the name and blue background, but when I quote anyone with spaces in their handle (including myself and Imi) I get a plain yellow blockquote.

Any idea what's up with that or if it could be fixed?

Hmm...

lee4hmz · 2012-05-14 23:49:29

No idea. I'll have to see what the plugin itself is doing. There's a newer version, but it's only for 2.1 alpha... :P

Princess Alice · 2012-05-14 23:52:52

Sometimes I wonder if having spaces in handles is a feature or a bug. You can't register an account with a space, but if an admin changes it later you can have all the spaces you want. It makes me wonder if some programmer just forgot to apply the same validation to changed usernames as to new accounts' usernames.

lee4hmz · 2012-05-14 23:54:31

It's possible, though I also admit I don't really know how that part of the code works. I need to get going (it's 5 yo midnight), so I'll check later.

Irene · 2012-05-15 00:22:08

The question is this: Other than making the color change, does it cause issues?

Let me test it right here.

...Huh. That's kind of cool. :P

Icalasari · 2012-05-15 00:38:23

Wait, we have a quote button!?

WHERE IS IT!?

Justice4243 · 2012-05-15 00:41:14

Every post has one, I'm guessing it's next to the "flag" button for non-staff.

Irene · 2012-05-15 00:49:57

BTW, you can quote yourself. Not sure if that'll be a problem.

Princess Alice · 2012-05-15 00:51:03

...The username links come up 404s...looks like it assumes a shorter URL scheme than we have.

That probably won't be too hard to fix, though.

Somewhat appropriate considering my avatar...

Justice4243 · 2012-05-15 14:53:30

Spoiler button...is there a plug-in for this?

Misery · 2012-05-15 14:54:22

What about "Mark as all read"?

Princess Alice · 2012-05-15 16:57:30

^^ There's an addon that adds Spoiler: markup like you find on other forums. Makes a little hidey-clicky box thing. Not quite the same as a button, but close.

Certainly suitable for hiding images/videos/other things that can't just be blacked out.

^ Vanilla used to offer a "Mark all as read" add-on, but I think they discontinued it because it didn't work properly...it would mark everything as read, but once somebody posted in a thread again all the posts you didn't actually read would be marked as new again. :\
