I can see deleted/edited posts, so it doesn't really matter.

No.

There's no reason to force readers to download huge images when they load the page. If high resolution is really necessary, you can include a link to the image.

The forum's OpenSSL was updated yesterday.


No, it's unrelated to heartbleed

It's best to include it naturally in a post. But if you can't, you can send a PM to an account that won't delete it (you could use DefaultTrust for this). After you send it, check your outbox and make a note of the PM's ID (visible in the quote URL).


I can't conveniently check signature edits.


I can't conveniently see PMs if all recipients have deleted it.

Browsers nowadays like to make as many simultaneous requests for images as there are images on the page (this is stupid IMO). So all of your images are downloaded at once via the proxy, but your connection isn't fast enough to deliver everything before the proxy times out after a few seconds. Not being able to serve this much data quickly enough is understandable, but it still causes issues. The problem is that browsers can wait forever for servers to respond, so they're fine with issuing even hundreds of connections at a time, but the forum's server cannot wait. Each proxy connection takes up resources, so it must complete quickly. I'm not really sure how to fix this.

It's too big. The limit is 2.5 MB

That was due to an issue with the BBcode escaping of URLs. I fixed it.

That happens when the server hosting the image is too slow. Use something faster like imgur.


It doesn't rely on extensions. Example:

I don't think so.

Maybe it's because the forum uses https?

doublec's account was stolen, but I restored it to the proper owner.

Buyer beware. The original owner can probably always regain the account by providing proof that he was the original owner. I won't do this if I know that the account was sold, of course, but I'm not going to waste any time researching this.

http://s16.postimg.org/676tajnxf/image.jpg is not an image, despite the name. It's an HTML page.

The image proxy is not often wrong. If it says "invalid image", then your image is probably invalid.

You've read 5194 unique topics. To get into the top 200, you need ~8500.

It'd be kind of cool to make this stat available all the time, but it'd immediately become worthless because it's so easy to artificially inflate...

Here are the users who have visited the greatest number of distinct topics (in descending order). malevolent has visited about 50,000, while Phinnaeus Gage has visited about 15,000. (The forum keeps track of the last post you've read in every topic that you've visited, which allows me to figure this out.)

Unhandled reports don't count toward your accuracy score. Your bad report was on this post, which is fine:

I don't release IPs except to police, but I can check whether two users are likely to be the same if one of them looks suspicious. PM me the details.

bitcoin.com existed before the Bitcoin software/currency was created. It was owned by an unrelated company. bitcoin.org (and bitcoins.org and bitcoin.net) was registered by Satoshi for Bitcoin.

I didn't even know about Bitcoin when this forum was first created!


Nope.

Bitcoin Core already skips signature verification on blocks before the latest checkpoint.
