Re: smilies - feedback please (98 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
looks good,
but I'm going to stick with the "good 'ol ones" ... partly because it looks like someone has a flashlight shining on them from below, and also I like the 'simpleness' and consistency on the normal ones ... (normally in all computerstuff the icons, buttons etc. is lit from top/top-left)
but for those that want a bit more flashy, I think they'll like these

Topic: Submit button grey out (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
Well it's a bug I just had here, somehow when I replied I couldn't contact the server (it timed out, so I got a popup about it) ... so ... I had to copy the reply and make another reply and paste what I had written. As I couldn't press the greyed out button again to try to send it again.
I guess it functions ok to limit multiple posts, but not good for unstable connections

Frank H wrote:so, what are the proofs that using javascript really 'disables' the spambots?
well, we've been using the JavaScript cloak on this site for nearly three years now, and I have received very little spam on my email address which is shown there; sometimes maybe 1-2 mails per week or so, which is very good by today's standard, and I'm pretty sure these came from other sites where my email address might have been displayed. We do not use any kind of spam filtering on our server. I get as many virus mails as the next guy of course, but this will happen regardless, as anyone with your email address in their address book who gets hit by a virus, will start distributing your email address to other hosts and infect those etc., but that's another discussion really.
Not much more than I get on my hotmail account I use almost everywhere (the mail I have here is a forwarder to my hotmail) ... and I have had this email for more than 2-3 years ... had a spam peak half a year ago(a total of 20 mails over 1½ week), but I forwarded a few to abuse@ISP ... and now I have usually fewer than 2 per week ... and I have done alot of "bad stuff" with that email ... some of the 'unsubscribe from spam list' things really seems to work ... but there are rumors that these is a 'confirmation' thingie
mindplay wrote:So you're still considering it, but nothing can affect your decision - yeah, that makes sense
Yes. Not even money will affect my decision
But I guess you wouldn't mind people trying
Well I just had to put this into the discussion ... that the cloak isn't "safe", nothing displayed on internet is safe, it can be abused ... just perhaps "safer" for some kind of spam bots, than with clear text ... as you say ... there's billions of emails ... so they first need to aim the bot at the right forum first
Whatever Rickard choose to do ... there's always a possibility to add a mod to add some JavaScript

Re: cloak e-mail addresses! (54 replies, posted in Feature requests)
so, what are the proofs that using javascript really 'disables' the spambots?
I would never ever publicate an email adress of mine on the internet if I never want spam in that... I have one account that I use for non spam issues (employment contacts etc.), and a few that I have publically avaible, where I'm aware that I might get it spammed to death ...
but, I don't see why one javascript would make is "safe" ... safety is more or less just a time issue IMHO ... how long will it take for those that can 'sense' that this kind of javascript is in action, and still parse the email adresses? I don't think too long... as spammers make money, and they want to get new fresh mails ... and when parsing... it's easy to find that javascript ...
IMHO, there's only one way to be "safe" from spam, and that's not to show the mail in any way...

Re: Purpose of search tables (27 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
wow, I see similarities ...
'think', 'thats' & 'ill' is very high for you too
hmm... no need to backup the search indexes ... as you can rebuild them in the forum admin panel, it takes time, but you have time for a cofeebreak (I did it myself after adding a few new stopwords). (I hope I'm correct, othervise Rickard probably see this )

that's maybe a bit overkill? it certainly will put considerable extra load on the server, having to generate and compress a GIF image every time an email address has to be displayed...
no, just render them when people register or change their email addys (not that often)

Re: Purpose of search tables (27 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
how come the records in forums_search_matches are almost 30 bytes each? it only contains two integers and a tiny, so it shouldn't be more than 9 bytes or so?
although if you dump your tables as flat text files, the size makes sense ... isn't there some way to back up in binary with mysql instead of dumping as textfiles?
hmm...
You have indexes that take up space aswell ... looks like this for me
Space usage :
Type Usage
Data 2,028 KB
Index 3,842 KB
Total 5,870 KB
that is ... the index is bigger than the two ints and the tiny ...

Re: Revising the profile options for PunBB 1.2 (32 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I must say I agree with your first post Rickard, about the images.
What I wouldn't mind to see is also the signature on/one/off option (on and off I don't explain, but the one means that each users sig is only shown once per page, only need a small array to keep the viewed userid's, shouldn't take that much cpu time to use it)
This is also due to the thing that many people have very annoying signatures, huge colorful with irritating colors etc ....
just a suggestion, while we're in those sections anyway (I didn't see it up there, but if I did I'm sorry for having missed it )

ok, made a little mod for those that want ... (Seppo, you should have placed the rewrite later, as you're doing an unneccessary step each time someone loads up to view an image )
Find (Line 98 in attachment.php)
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$attach_filename");
Add before
$attach_filename=rawurlencode($attach_filename);
some browsers will show %20 ... but not all ... and it's probably better than chopping the name
should also be able to handle other sofar unknown issues, as it will fix all sort of odd characters ... and replace them with the %num equivalent.
