WTF Is Going On?

[Trotsky]

Apostrophes are delimited with a control character (/') in old posts.

Thanks, should be corrected

Great work! I've created a message board before, and I know how much effort you must have put into (are putting into) making this work for us to enjoy. Much appreciated!!!

Just an FYI, my username includes an apostrophe, which is apparently an illegal character.  Fortunately, I just deleted the apostrophe and it let me log in.

THANK YOU!

Ditto (except for the part about having created a message board)! Thanks so much, Age.

is there a way to attach image files other than hotlinking a url?

29-ish years since I first put together the CHDF, and roughly four houses later...

I appreciate whatever requires the least bespoke maintenance. Thanks for your service, Age.

Back to lurking.

I had a slight depressive episode when faced with yesterday's outage- Thank you, Age, for getting the new board up so fast and with all the features intact (plus more!)

Kind of a quirk of SMF, you can only attach files when doing a full reply (Reply button at the bottom), not a quick reply. I just added a mod that adds an "Add Files" button to the quick reply that effectively takes you to a full reply.

Is there a way to click on a topic that jumps directly to the first new post since the last time I read the topic rather than just being able to click on the most recent new post? That was a lovely feature of the old eLF that I'm hoping exists here and I just can't find it for some reason.

I think we call them "undocumented characters" now.

Surely "TERRORIST characters." 

They're not sending their best. They're not sending U. They're sending special characters that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems here. They're bringing dipthongs. They're bringing ßs. They're punctuation.  And some, I assume, are good characters."

Only if they're left apostrophies, etc.

I believe if you click the "NEW" next to the subject it takes you to the first new one?

Whoa... upgrade!!! I personally hate it, but I hate anything new so please don't take my opinion into any actual account <3. It objectively looks nice and I'm looking forward to poking around and learning more about it, I'm just sad because I really liked the old-timey feel of the old forum. Seconding whoever said it before but red should absolutely be set as the default color.

I think this was the radio PFP I was using. I'm usually on mobile, lol.

A lot of the old quoting is broken, sadly - one of my favorite old threads, for context. So are a bunch of the funnier emojis

Also, uh... there a way to hide email on the profile?

Also also - what's the "hero member", "senior member", etc about?

Also also also - the current "upper limit" on profile age is 2004-03-22 (which, to make y'all feel old, predates me by a couple weeks), but posts on the forum go back at minimum to 2002...

Also also also also - the "like" function is wonderful. I enjoy that thoroughly

ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO WE FINALLY GOT A DELETE MESSAGE FUNCTION. Helllllllllll yeah.

I think the email address shows only when you are looking at your own profile. (At least I hope that is the case.)
