"Last post" column in tracker far too wide at small window sizes

Sat, 15 Aug 2020 21:01:23 +0000

The "Last post" column is always 30% of the window width despite pretty much never using this much screen space. At small window sizes (e.g. tiling two windows horizontally at 1080p → 960x1080), this column consumes quite a lot of window space because of this. This is particularly bad in the MegaZeux Bugs tracker where it forces most issue names to wrap after a couple of words.

The offending class is "col_c_post" and it is used in the header of the column. Every theme has this problem.

edit: this class is used on the front page too, where the 30% value is much more reasonable.

Call-time pass-by-reference usage in forum code

Thu, 02 Jan 2020 22:52:24 +0000

The forum code is littered with uses of call-time pass-by-reference, which is a liability for us because it keeps us trapped on old copies of PHP. So far the main instances seem to be these:

admin/sources/base/core.php line 1284 defines the function "doDataHooks" which was universally used with call-time pass-by-reference instead of having a reference in the definition. Fixing this function and updating all uses of it got most of the forums working past PHP 5.3.

admin/applications_addon/tracker/modules_public/post/post.php line 159 used one when registering the post class. It's not clear if removing this broke anything (yet).

Still keeping an eye out for other uses of this feature. It'd be really nice to be able to permanently upgrade PHP to something reasonable.

Tracker: Copying post link COPIES YOUR SESSION ID AS PART OF THE URL

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:44:44 +0000

DON'T USE THE COPY POST LINK POPUPS FROM THE TRACKER, HOLY HELL! I inadvertently gave my session cookie to the entirety of #mzx. If you feel like using them, make sure you remove the s=[hash] section of the URL. Otherwise people will have open access to your account!

Increase the number of searches before flood timeout

Right now the search feature on the boards sucks because you can only perform one search every 30 seconds. Can this be increased for forum members?

Linebreaks ignored when editing a sent PM

Try sending a multi-line PM to somebody and then edit it. The editing field removes all of the line ends and crams everything onto a single line. Using Lachesis Sandbox in Opera 11.10

Opening Attachments While Not Logged In

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 20:44:31 +0000

If you try and open an attachment while not logged in, and then try and log in through the following page sequence, you will be re-directed to the upload link, instead of something sane like the post that was attached.

Not entirely a bug, but kind of weird.

Random phrase missing

The random phrase underneath the logo isn't there anymore. woowoowoowoowoo!

Are we going to replace it, or just chuck it?
