I created Online wallets and Exchanges. Not sure about Stores -- I kind of feel like the top-level Service Discussion board makes the most sense for general discussion of stores. And I guess there aren't enough threads for Adult.

INVALID BBCODE: unclosed tags sounds a little misleading since it happens when the center tag is closed without opening.  INVALID BBCODE: bad table usage better Is it possible that there can be more cases like this since this is the second time this thing comes up? I will also try to reproduce it, just for the fun. OK, I changed both errors to "close of unopened tag in table". There are a variety of ways to produce invalid HTML, but usually it's not a huge problem because the effects are confined to within your own post. It's possible that there are additional undiscovered ways to do especially disruptive things. In this case, the old code path was for inline tags and the new code path which I missed last time was for block tags. (They're in very different places in the code, and not obviously related.) I don't think that anyone really understands the SMF bbcode parser: it looks like someone quickly coded up some mainly regex-based parser that sort of worked, and then people have been constantly tweaking it to fix its bugs for 10+ years. It's terrible. I've long been thinking that I should write a proper parser in C using the traditional lex+yacc tools.

Hm, I don't know why that's happening. I don't remember changing anything recently that would obviously affect this. Both images are being displayed, but the first one is being resized so that it fits in the table instead of forcing the table to expand. This is in some way caused by the image having the CSS rule max-width:100%, but this CSS rule has existed for years without causing problems, and it doesn't stop your trick from working on other pages (eg. the preview page). An alternative to using an image is to do something like this: [table] [tr][td][color=#ECEDF3]_______________________________[/color][/td][td][color=#ECEDF3]_______________________________[/color][/td][/tr] [tr][td][b]Under ASIC status, one chip is always an "x"?[/b][/td][td][b]Will the miner ever beep?[/b][/td][/tr] [tr][td] - There is a faulty chip - nothing we can do. Hash rate will be affected by ~1%.[/td][td] - No, there is no beeper on this controller.[/td][/tr][/table] _______________________________ | _______________________________ | Under ASIC status, one chip is always an "x"? | Will the miner ever beep? | - There is a faulty chip - nothing we can do.

The bottom of help decoderawtransaction shows you how to execute the command using JSON-RPC via curl: curl --user myusername --data-binary \ '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "decoderawtransaction", "params": ["hexstring"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;'\ http://127.0.0.1:8332/ You can put the {"jsonrpc":... stuff into a file (omit the single quotes) named for example TEMPFILE and then change the command to: curl --user myusername --data-binary @TEMPFILE -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/ This requires that you set an RPC user and password in your bitcoin.conf. Change "myusername" above to your actual RPC user. Since the data is in a file and never passed through the shell, I think that this should work, though I haven't tested it.

The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. This income is used primarily to cover hosting costs and to pay moderators for their work (there are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees). Any leftover amount is typically either saved for future expenses or otherwise reinvested into the forum or the ecosystem. Ads are allowed to contain any non-annoying HTML/CSS style. No images, JavaScript, or animation. Ads must appear 3 or fewer lines tall in my browser (Firefox, 900px wide). Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons, and I may remove ads even after they are accepted. There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Nine of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post, and only for people using the default theme. Duration- Your ads are guaranteed to be up for at least 7 days. - I usually try to keep ads up for no more than 8 or 9 days. - Sometimes ads might be up for longer, but hopefully no longer than 12 days.

I don't expect many people to use this option. These people don't increase the impression stats for your ads. I try to bypass Adblock Plus filters as much as possible, though this is not guaranteed. It is difficult or impossible for ABP filters to block the ad space itself without blocking posts. However, filters can match against the URLs in your links, your CSS classes and style attributes, and the HTML structure of your ads. To prevent matches against URLs: I have some JavaScript which fixes links blocked by ABP. You must tell me if you want this for your ads. When someone with ABP and JavaScript enabled views your ads, your links are changed to a special randomized bitcointalk.org URL which redirects to your site when visited. People without ABP are unaffected, even if they don't have JavaScript enabled. The downsides are: - ABP users will see the redirection link when they hover over the link, even if they disable ABP for the forum. - Getting referral stats might become even more difficult. - Some users might get a warning when redirecting from https to http. To prevent matching on CSS classes/styles: Don't use inline CSS. I can give your ad a CSS class that is randomized on each pageload, but you must request this. To prevent matching against your HTML structure: Use only one <a> and no other tags if possible. If your ads get blocked because of matching done on something inside of your ad, you are responsible for noticing this and giving me new ad HTML.

You must state the maximum number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all nine slots are filled. So if someone bids for 9 slots @ 5 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 9 slots.

You can put multiple bids in one post, however. - All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.05. - The bidding starts at 0.50. - I will end the auction at an arbitrary time. Unless I say otherwise, I typically try to end auctions within a few days of 10 days from the time of this post, but unexpected circumstances may sometimes force me to end the auction anytime between 4 and 22 days from the start. - If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first. - Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any slots If these rules are confusing, look at some of the past forum ad auctions to see how it's done. I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address.

Wow, you guys actually did it. Absolute madmen.
It's very rare that real progress gets made via the political system, especially not such strong progress. But thanks to good circumstances and the hard work of many people (I especially like Nigel Farage, who is pretty libertarian), it actually happened. Now you have to get your politicians to actually do it, though.
I expect some short-term market turmoil world-wide, but probably no long-lasting crashes, since this won't actually change anything for many months. Probably it's good for Bitcoin in in the short-term, since Bitcoin tends to react in inverse with the traditional markets.
Congrats, Britons!

I trashed that topic because in my view, the only purpose that the deleted topic serves is to get additional exposure to your unmoderated topic (since all you do is bump and lock the topic ). You could have easily put the complaint about the self-moderated topic in the OP of the unmoderated topic. I don't like setting the precedent of allowing this because then every unmoderated topic would also be allowed an additional topic to advertise it.
Agreed, this is unfair usage of bumping. I recognize that the difficulty in finding non-self-moderated topics is a flaw of the self-moderation feature, but this isn't a good solution. Maybe the most popular non-self-moderated alternatives to selfmod topics should be listed in the selfmod warning or something.
