>>34175 Ignoring mick for a second, are we actually not allowed to post the siths? That seems kind of unfair for actual sith lovers (If they exist that is, I don't like siths myself).
>>34383 The ban was the effect of that anon ignoring my prior (several) warnings and I don't want to disclose the details in public, normally it's up to the local mod to decide what's okay.
>>34452 Oh, so I guess it's not about the siths themselves then. That's fair.
Post limit per thread increased to 1000, no changes to bump limit
>>34383 I like the Cu Sith but would rather post her on /kemono/ in the interest of not causing a disturbance. Just two cents.
In 3 days, on August 5th I'm going to prune old /mge/ threads except for the last 5 ones to lessen the storage burden on server. I recommend submitting them for archival to the wayback machine. If you need more time or something let me know here.

>>36353 Already been doing it for a while, as well as downloading them just in case. Just double checked, they are all there up to 22(just now), and i made a snapshot of the catalog for completion. I do recommend you do that every time you prune any other thread, to at least make sure there is a snapshot where it's in the archived catalog. Still, i wish we had a proper archive with a search function.
>>36353 5 sounds like a good number. >>36385 >Still, i wish we had a proper archive with a search function. Warosu style archive would be great, but not really feasible. Some kind of tool for searching the html file contents should be enough, but I'm not aware of one.
>>36388 After a little sleuthing, there is a function called grep (FINDSTR in the windows console, i think), that is able to look for strings in a text file. One could turn all of the HTML files into plain text and then look for matches there, but that doesn't sound very efficient, and it only works if you have the files locally. Wayback machine doesn't have a website text search, the advanced search searches only metadata(if i understood correctly.) Guess it will be something to consider later.

One could turn all of the HTML files into plain text and then look for matches there, but that doesn't sound very efficient I do use Linux and it makes me realize how little I still know. I tried searching directly with the file manager before and it was really unreliable, but grep appears to work quite well searching HTML directly. At least searching text is workable now. >and it only works if you have the files locally. Just searching local files was what I had in mind, yes.

I will be swapping entire front-end tomorrow, which brings every or almost every feature that was requested. Thing is, the swap will confuse browser cache of style sheets, so you will at one point see a garbled page layout. I'm not sure after how long cache will refresh on its own, so I recommend looking up how to clear cache/temporary files (not cookies and data) manually in your browser. Post here or in >>>/site/2 in case you encounter any issues or need help figuring out how to do it, as a last resort opening private browsing window will have clean cache and should at least let you post and ask for help. >>36385 I recommend redownloading the threads after front-end is swapped, inconsistent .html sources will make it much more difficult to write a parser in the future. I will postpone old /mge/ threads purge until then.
>>36628 Thank you for your hard work.
New front-end is up now, let me know if there are problems or spot anything weird going on. Also post if you spot anything related to 8chan or their logo, I think I removed everything but might have missed something. I'm using their open sourced front-end and the only license condition is that you have to remove all of their branding for your site. The cache issue breaking page layouts theoretically should go away after 5 minutes since that's how I set it up on cloudflare, I would be grateful if someone would wait and tell me if it really clears up on its own.
>>36757 Don't know if the multiboard button( infinite thingy) is also part of their branding, but the square brackets look a bit odd. There seems to be a slightly transparent extra one inside the first pair, and the second pair is empty. Taking a quick look at 8chan, the second pair is used for a board link list. As for the page layout itself, it looks fine.
>>36757 Image expansion (as in, clicking the image to show it at full size), instead it opens up a new tab.
>>36759 fixed
>>36757 Could just be my browser or device, but after the refresh I'm not able to see linked posts pop up when I hover over the link, I have to click back to follow the reply chain. Not the end of the world, though.
>>36855 Not the board owner, but it could be your browser. It works on my end, both for replies and quotes.
>>36860 Thank you for the confirmation. I'm going to have to try another cache refresh on my end, then.
>>36758 Yeah looks like the multiboard thing is specific to 8chan, removed it. As for the brackets, it appears they look a little weird because I'm not using the top boards functionality, I'll try to clean that up some time because it's a little tangled up and annoying. Thanks for pointing those out.
Is it possible to make the reply window not empty when you close it like it used to?
>>37096 done, if it still purges the window for you, you can manually refresh this JS file: https://capybarachan.org/.static/js/qr.js
>>37096 >>37098 this is now a configurable option in the settings menu
>>37150 Absolutely fantastic, thanks.
>>37150 Best of both worlds.
Minor thing maybe, but can you make it so pressing and holding on a direct reply (>>[POST NUMBER]) on mobile shows a preview of the post? I'm pretty sure it worked like that before the update.
>>37250 Which mobile browser are you using? I tried both firefox and chrome on my android and pressing and holding on a direct reply opens the "save link as" dialogue window, same on old front-end when I tried with my local instance.
Only issue I can see is the top banner for quick reply in the penumbra theme (formerly cyberpunk) is purple. Thanks for the hard work.
>>37320 you can add this custom CSS to Settings -> CSS to make the quick reply header transparent #quick-reply th { background: none; }
>>37253 Chrome, maybe my memory got mixed with 4chan which has that functionality but still, there's a suggestion.
>>36757 >Also post if you spot anything related to 8chan or their logo, I think I removed everything but might have missed something. There's the logo in the background for MoeOS8 theme.
>>37332 Tenkyuu
>>36628 Threads have been archived with the new front end. You can delete them now.
>>38642 Alright, then I will prune old /mge/ threads on 14th August, if anybody still has something to save from them.
I've been encountering a bug with the new frontend, the final reply button that actually posts the post just stops working sometimes or maybe it just breaks when an image is attached to the post. It happens at least with the newest version of Pale Moon, but from previous experience many of the smaller FF forks often share a problem when something comes up.
>>38689 By stop working do you mean that sometimes you click it and it does nothing?
>>38706 >you click it and it does nothing Yeah it doesn't post or close the quick reply window or anything. When it's bugged it doesn't work at all no matter how many times I press it, or reopen the reply window, or even the entire thread. It might be that it's speficially attaching images which makes the reply button break.
>>38710 I've been experiencing that too then.
>>38710 >>38712 Can't reproduce it, I post every day with images and haven't encountered problems with Reply button, I'm on latest Firefox. Funnily enough I did occasionally have this issue with old front-end. Next time it happens, could you open up browser console (ctrl + shift + k) and post the output, assuming there will be any, along with the time when it happened? If the javascript responsible for posting breaks, it should print out errors that would help me track down the potential cause. If it's not a javascript issue and it's server hiccups, the timestamp would allow me check the logs and see what's going on.
>>38827 >could you open up browser console (ctrl + shift + k) and post the output Didn't see anything else except this: TypeError: file.arrayBuffer is not a function[Learn More] postCommon.js:643:33
>>38916 That was exactly what I needed and amazingly, this exact line was fixed on Aleph's repo in a commit 4 days ago. I've merged their fix, see if the problem appears again and refresh https://capybarachan.org/.static/js/postCommon.js just in case to make sure you have up to date source.
>>38984 Sorry to bother but are they someting I missed? I don't get why this >>38978 >>38975 >>38982 is punishable by a permaban, are they a new rule in the \mge\ thread concerning non direct art or fan art from MGE. If yes to what extent?
>>38990 That ban message was directed at the guy complaining about non-mge art and calling it off-topic
>>38992 and forgot to clarify, I did it at the request of /mge/'s mod, that poster was ignoring his warnings
>>38992 Ah so that >>38984 was just someone impersonating one of the mod to troll. I wasn't sure, thanks.
>>38994 Yep just to clarify again, the bright red text with exclamation mark is our equivalent of 4chan's (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) and its derivatives
>>38996 Oh, so I'm extra retarded, my bad chef
