Guess for all the Users that are affected with the problem that would be the best solution.
So its a yes for option 2 and 4 from me.
#2 still effects the flow or context of a post, discussion, etc., forcing it clickable just adds a step each reader would need to do to see the image, which is a bit annoying and defeats the purpose of an embedded image, which in a lot of cases can provide valuable information to a post or discussion as you scroll through. #2 is not a horrible option though, as it may take more accountability off the forum itself because the user has to initiate a click to expose their IP to imgur, instead of the forum auto-allowing it through an exception, IF this is a concern. If it is not a concern, #4 seems to be a better option for the forum and its users. |

There are a lot of broken imgur links. How do you think this should be resolved? I've come up with these possible solutions:
1: Do nothing. People will have to edit past broken images and use different image-hosting services going forward.
2: Make it so that all past imgur embedded images show up as a clickable link instead of as an embedded image, as if the poster had just posted the imgur link instead of using the [img] tag. I could also maybe make it so that if you click the link, it will JavaScript-expand into an embedded image (using the specified width etc.) without going through the image proxy.
3: Exempt imgur links from the image proxy so they all just work. But this has privacy implications, since imgur will see forum users' IPs. Also, imgur has apparently banned a lot of Tor exit nodes etc. as well, so imgur images won't work for everyone.
4: Exempt imgur links from the image proxy as above, but prevent using imgur embedded images in any future posts, to sort of phase it out.
#1: I don't like. #2: It is worth noting similar privacy concerns as #3 when doing the javascript option. #3: Those that are worried about this, I'm curious what your main fear is with imgur knowing your IPs when you see an image? Tough decision between 2,3 & 4 for me, but I'd lean more towards 3-4 and would probably land at #4 myself as an option. |

Deleted posts from mods value & rank:To provide some follow-up on my prior post: Looking into the counts & ranks closer here for this particular report, I was able to narrow down what was happening, but still need to fix it. As it stands now:a) The profile page is getting its value/count from a table/field which is being updated by parsers. b) The report page is getting its value/count from a table/field which is not being used or updated by parsers. c) Both pages are pulling their rank from the same table/field, which unfortunately has not been part of the stored procedure which calculates and updates ranks. Because of this, the visible result is:The report page for deleted posts by mods hasn't been updated at all (in terms of value/rank), for some time they've been static. You can compare an archive from 2020 with a recent archive from the end of March and see the value & ranks haven't changed. For the profile page, the value has been changing, as can be shown checking the archives of someone like JollyGood ( current & archive from Feb 2021 and June 2022). But the rank has remained static on the profile page as well, again due to the current table not being included in the rank calculations. All this said, there is a chance for potential small gaps in capturing the modlog/seclog in the past, if there were parser issues or downtime occurring, which occasionally happened more in the earlier days of development then it would now, but I'd expect the count shown on the profile page is close to what it should be, based on what has been collected from the parsing since 2018.
I've some questions regarding BPIP security/moderator log. Does it shows the full list of security and modlog till date? or is there a point of date? I am checking a profile and just trying to make sure of something.
Here is what I'm seeing: Seclog on BPIP goes back to March 16th, 2018. Modlog on BPIP has ~1.3M saved records with an accurate date/time which ranges from August 3rd, 2018 until today. The modlog also has 177,836 records with a (default) unix timestamp from 1970. Based on the ID's of these records without a timestamp, they were all created (assumingly in order) before the range of time above. I didn't go back and look but the lack of a timestamp on these were likely related to a bug which was ultimately fixed in August of 2018, when it started capturing the date/time correctly. Also is there a way where I can see full merit history of a profile?
Currently, you'd only be able to see: Full sent: https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?from=AvirunesFull received: https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=AvirunesBut it might not be a bad idea to have a view showing them merged together for a profile, which shouldn't be too difficult. I'll add this to my TODO list.

I like ibminer's thinking about giving this area of the HTML a CSS hook, but as I alluded to in the OP, this area of the HTML is pretty easy to mess up and there's not a whole lot you can do (except make the text bold, or italic, etc.) that won't shift things vertically and end up looking messy. @ibminer: Would adding a class="new_message" to the <a> element be enough for you? Should I also add an id="new_message_dot" to the image so that you can turn it off when styling that area yourself?
I'd prefer it on the <td>, can always select the <a> under if needed. As a basic example.. I didn't play with the colors or gradients that could be done here and there would be ways to work around the use of 'filter' (or not use it at all and keep an underline look), but this was quicker for this example: <td class="maintab_back new_message" valign="top">
<a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm">My Messages [1]</a>
</td>
table tr td.new_message {
filter: hue-rotate(294deg);
background-color: #f00;
}
 edit: corrected typo on the CSS (I used a - instead of _).. doh! |

I am already aware of this setting, didn't look at your post at all. Maybe you didn't took efforts to post a screenshot as people are lazy these days and have hard time to find the settings?
You didn't even read the 2nd post? SMH I didn't mention it because it was already mentioned, and I assumed he didn't want to use a popup. I've used the popup myself, so I'm obviously aware of it, but even so you seem upset about someone not knowing a basic setting of the forum. He's contributed several patches and a fun April's fool game and obviously spent considerable time doing these things and you feel the need to call someone lazy for (potentially) not seeing a setting? It has been like that for years and literally no one ever felt the same way as you.
I literally said in my prior post that I was trying to adjust it myself to make it more visible.  To be really honest, the [1] on the message tab is much more visible as compared to the little dot on the left.
His example includes both the [1] and a dot, so I don't understand how the addition of a dot makes it less visible. The dot actually takes up a bit too much space for me, which is why I mentioned just adding a class and letting users style it themselves. ~ But I appreciate your efforts to go through the HTML with the inspect element and doing a bit of creativity instead of asking what could be a better option.  The code in the OP is PHP. |

I tried styling this area once in the CSS I did a while back to accent new messages, but I couldn't select it because the only change seemed to happen within the content of the element. I'd prefer the patch to just add a simple class="new_message" (or something) to be added to the section when a new message comes in, then the styling or adding of icons could be handled through custom CSS options by users themselves. Even if the styling ends up acceptable as a change to the forum overall, I'd still add a class tag to the code so it can be adjusted through CSS. |

I checked a few other profiles in the list, and for them, the data is consistent. How did MFahad go from 164 to 372?
Thanks, I'm seeing inconsistencies for many users as I spot checked, not just MFahad. Some are off by a few (Fredomago, cvm, Alex-007, etc.), some are off by larger amounts (joshy23, Adriano2010, JollyGood, etc), and a lot seem to match up correctly. Trying to wrap my head around this one as I haven't really looked at this job (and related procedures) recently in the past, but there does appear to be a problem here which will need some troubleshooting which I can't do at the moment, I'll try to take a closer look as soon as I can. |

The middle-mouse button is the scroll wheel. Are there still people who don't have that? It makes life so much easier Sure there are, even if they do have a scroll wheel, by default the click could be doing something else unrelated to the browser and/or tabs. On Mac desktop mice, I think it opens mission control or expose. I'm on a laptop at the moment which only has a trackpad, by default I don't have the ability with any gestures or multi-finger clicks I do on the trackpad to open a new tab, I could try to change the mouse settings... but I've always just used CTRL/CMD. |

I've seen the middle-mouse button mentioned, but not everyone has that. Holding down the CTRL (Windows) or CMD (Apple) keys and clicking on any link will also open it in a new tab. It is better to not force this and let people decide. Once anything is added to all links, you can't stop them from opening in their own tab, which might annoy some people, I think it's better to let the user decide.

Is it normal?
Does this mean BPIP doesn't scrape all new posts? If that's the case, I can easily share a list of all users that posted "today". I could provide historic data too:
~
Thanks, and no not normal. As of yesterday the recent posts job had been locked for around ~26 days.. so the job hadn't been running on the parsers, picking up those posts, and updating the status of those users. I cleared the lock so it's been running correctly now for new posts, but I may need some time to figure out a way to either re-process posts through the parsers in that timeframe, or find some way to manually update. If any users continue to post, it should at least update the status on their next post. |

So after testing, this is the issue: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Please set webextensions.storage.sync.enabled to true in about:config This is disabled because Tor tries to avoid anything writing to the disk, so it's not letting the extension save the settings, enabling this setting allows all extensions to do this. I don't think there is a way to only allow the BPIP extension, but this settings adjustment got things saving again for me. |

~I see that other members still have doubts, but if necessary, I am ready for one of the respectable members of the forum to get an insight into my account and confirm that the PM is real.
It's really not necessary, it would be a mistake letting someone else into your account for something like this. Seems clear he sent it and I'm not sure why there would be doubt. At the end of the day, the current owner of Amph is a user who is OK with account sales, and the forum technically allows it. But verifying a PM like this using such extreme lengths seems unnecessary, for both the reputable member and you. He's only arguing that you tricked him in some form of entrapment, and that this makes you look bad for setting him up. There is no proof of this, and we don't even see the rest of the conversation in full context, so it's all assumptions and theories at this point. |

hi, just a question, how does the "inactive" status work? I mean, how long does someone need to be offline to get that status or how does someone need to be active in order for the status to disappear? is it a bug?
 I am just curious because I saw someone( grumpygit) having the "inactive" status even though the guy has been posting since Feb 21, 2023. The status should have probably been removed (and the profile auto-refreshed) when BPIP logged the account waking up, but in this case the main reason it was still showing inactive was because the profile had last been parsed/refreshed '4 days' ago.. before I hit 'Refresh Profile' a few minutes ago, which removed the inactive status. |

Well if we are theorizing here, why would the telegram user request a screenshot of the PM (especially if he is claiming to be the owner of the account), he wouldn't need a screenshot. Telegram user could have been trying to setup Lucius for not posting about an account seller contacting him.. or maybe thought Lucius would try to buy it and they wanted the screenshot to post themselves in order to smear Lucius? *shrug*
edit: Regardless, it looks like Amph is willing to sell his account?.. to anyone that contacts him on telegram?

The way I read suchmoon's post is that the official Firefox doesn't allow the extension anymore, but the Tor browser still allows it. Yes. Tor Browser is based on an older version of Firefox (v68; the one the breaks extensions is v79) so it will likely support the extensions for some time until they decide to force an upgrade. Tor 12 - Firefox V102 Tor 11 - Firefox V91 Tor 10 - Firefox V78.3 Based on the conversation above, and looking through current release notes, it looks like after Tor V10 it might start using a version of firefox that does the whole "recommended" extensions stuff, which may be part of the issue, I haven't tested it yet myself though. Is it me or...
After the last tor update, the extension is no longer working. All the options are disabled, and if I try to enable them again, after a refresh they go to disabled again.
Any tips??
What version of Tor did you use before you updated? |
