Oboy. Sorry for the OT post but I'm saving this one before it gets flagged as spam. I love it when spambots go all William Burroughs and spit out some nonsensical cut-up. It makes funny reads. I removed the actual spam to keep only the cut-up text. Behold:

Is password recovery working? I tried two different email providers (gmail.com and yandex.ru) and the message never arrived. 

ah... i think it might not be working right now. someone reported a problem with it recently and i haven't had time to look into it. 

Haven't got that mail either. 

FYI: SleepwalkR just fixed the server problem with paswsword recovery feature, the server can now send emails again. Thanks sleepy! 

Now I can resume annoying people with my color!

No, I was talking about this site. I was still logged in because cookies. 

 

How do create an account and upload files to Quaketastic? I've seen a lot of people use it for demos here, looks like a good way to do it. 

Check the OP 

I never noticed that. Silly me. 

Spam posts will now be completely hidden from non-moderators when viewing a thread. Instead you will see a line at the bottom of the page that says "16 posts not shown on this page because they were spam"

This should solve the problem of seeing a wall of spam when 16 posts in a row get flagged by moderators. For example the general abuse thread right now had 16 spams.

It does not solve the problem of seeing "new 16" on the forum when they are all spam. 

That definitely caught me by surprise. Do you think we'll someday see them excluded from the new count? 

 

My favorite part of this change is seeing the total spam counts for the primary threads. 

backslashes get eaten up when I preview a post, but not when I actually post - e.g. if I type \b and preview it, I see b, but when I post for real, I see \b 

I am wondering why Func doesn't have nesting of replies and similar features.

I am not knocking your efforts metlslime at all and I'm used to it -- but just really curious as to why it's remained the same for so long.

And to be clear I DO appreciate someone taking the time to admin etc.

Understand, but occasionally I see confusion and miscommunication in the threads. Shit, I've gone off on people who weren't replying to me and seen others do the same. I wonder if there's a specific reason other than the bile that would spew forth from the usual suspects toward any changes here?

And again - just wondering and making friendly conversation. :) 

My wild stab-in-the-dark guess would be that he has more important things to do with his time than mess around fundamentally rewriting how func_messageboard works :} 

yeah its more so about website development (or whatever the cools kids call it) being a time sink.

I dont think youre wrong in asking this really. Its just something that none of us have the perfect mixture of experience + freetime to make any worthwhile changes.
