BitcoinTalk++ script - v0.2.96

Great, first will stay then


I changed the code to check if two instances of BT++ are running
If so, the second stops running and displays this:



Not sure how many people already solved the problem, so for the others I thought it would be better

I'll advertise BT++ in the Project Development forum, do you think I should better wait to implement features like comments about users/server-saved settings/lists beforehand?

[favdesu]

nah, just add it. It's already very helpful.

[whiskers75]

I like the BITCOINTALK++ instead of BT++ SETTINGS.
Maybe add it in prefs?

* whiskers75 is still 43% D:

Kinda useless IMO but I will. It's not like it's annoying to add a setting.

Hmmm... You'll be able to ask them why when/if I implement the "Contact your -1 voters" feature or to know why when/if I implement the public comment one

nah, just add it. It's already very helpful.

Thanks. Still waiting for a few opinions and I'll do.

nah, just add it. It's already very helpful.

I love that I have a second trust system and I am loving all the extra features like the Live BitCoin Ticker.

Oh, it's probably just scammer hate, and not enough good votes to counter it. Maybe implement a blacklist/trust system to solve this.
(also, it's VERY tempting to hit that -1 button on your perfect score )

Idea: For new posts: bold and have the (new) icon, but for old posts, have a faded/muted little (new) or something, as an alternative to "last read post always"

Did I mention that the first one to put me a -1 will be banned?

Why? I don't see many cases where you could want to start to read from page 1 a thread that you already read

I guess it's also a "yes"


I tidied up a bit the settings in the new version, and I'll post in the Project Dev forum soon

Yes, it is a yes

Added scammer reports
The list of reports is here: http://jackjack.alwaysdata.net/btpp/scamreports/
Reports can't be revoked

nice feature, when will someone become a scammer? how to use this feature (i found the button, i mean when should i click)? just report people after they scammed? or report very untrustworthy people as well?

just reported BT++ for scamming, hell his hey makes me so aggressive

btw, can't up-/downvote BT++, "Error: Values not matching", because he's already tagged as scammer?

So it's a dictatorship is it!
(create alt account, neg him on the alt )

EDIT: 50% looks horrible - it doesn't even have a % sign! Make it at least bold, maybe green

[Boelens]

Could I get my password?

EDIT: 50% looks horrible - it doesn't even have a % sign! Make it at least bold, maybe green

I made that because I wanted to make the null score discrete (as MANY people have null a score)
But yeah, when the 0 comes from multiple votes and not because of no votes at all I should make it prettier (not sure whether I'm clear...)
Not green though, blue I think

Reporting has nothing to do with tags
If one is reported a lot, then we'll have a nice discussion here to decide what to do with him (tag him or not, if so which tag)
It's more a "this guy deserves some attention" button, so you can report untrustworthy people and potential scammers
You can always contact me if you mistakenly reported someone

I didn't see his thread received some attention!
And no, I used a check that wasn't very reliable and that is now useless anyway. Working now.

Yuck! Blue looks horrible!
Also, it's confusing to have a black 0 and then a red +0%.

I don't have enough time currently to waste it on colors, but if you find a better color that is not green or red I can change it
To find one, preview a post with this, and change #aabbcc:

Code:

[[b][color=#aabbcc]0%[/color][/b][size=5pt]/8[/size]] [color=lightgray][+ −][/color]

And everything is blue here, I don't see any red

[HeroC]

If someone changes their username, does it effect voting? Does it use Username or Display name? (I recommend Username for back-end data because it cannot change unless someone edits the SQL database.) 

For those that do not know:
DisplayName is what people see, Username is what you login with. They are usual the same unless you have had a username change.

[jackjack]

Changing their usernames doesn't have any effect on voting because BT++ accounts (on the server) are not tied to bitcointalk's ones.
For now BT++ (client) guesses the username by reading the "Hello, username" and you can't modify that without messing (a bit) with the code.
If someone changes his username, I just have to add a setting that allows setting one's BT++ username by hand instead of just guessing it. It's a matter of a few lines.

Tell me if I'm not clear


For instance, if I change my username to 'Putin', my BT++ client will read 'Hello Putin' at the top of the page. So each time I'll vote it will send username=Putin and password=passwordForJackjack. As Putin!=jackjack, the server will refuse my votes. In order to fix that I'll add a setting to force my BT++ client to use username=jackjack.
