Announcing BPIP - The Bitcointalk Public Information Project!

[El duderino_]

this is a nice project!

BTW, how is the trust watching working? could there be a bug regarding personal "Trust settings"?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust

It's coming.... 

Soon you will be able to view "realish" time changes in trust and default trust.

But I need help.  Too many things to do.

Is anyone interested in coding a quick function that will read the subject lines of new messages? 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm

You would need to delete every message after reading it.  Might have to parse multiple pages if you get a lot of messages.   Then you send the list via an array.

It would need to be written in C#.  Any takers?

thx

Just a small suggestions.
Redirect the http://bpip.org to https://bpip.org
Now it comes error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

There is a IIS (Microsoft Web Server) extension called URLRewrite.  I'm having problems installing it on the server, that's why this suggestion has not been added yet.  :/

Just a thought, I'd probably drop the background from being "fixed" to just covering the entire page. It looks a bit cooler IMO, and will stop the glitchy scroll on less powerful browsers (laptops, etc) making scrolling a lot more smooth.

Change css #main:

Code:

background: url(../images/background-bitcoin-blur.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;

to

Code:

background: url(../images/background-bitcoin-blur.jpg) no-repeat center center;

Either that, or you can follow this in order to convert the BG to a pseudo element.

Thanks for the thought, I'd send some sMerit if I had any left.

I had my own back and forth on this when doing the design but went with the fixed background because I kinda liked the effect of the transparent tables overtop the fixed BG, and liked being able to see the BTC in the background the entire time - of course.

I haven't had time to test it yet but I've been intending go the will-change route to improve performance with the background effect.


EDIT: Site has been adjusted to use a pseudo element for the fixed background effect.

Not a prob! Yea I like the fixed BG, it's just the GPU performance glitch always throws me off. If you can, definitely take the pseudo element approach

BTW, if you need any help w/ something modular (something you can split off and re-implement w/o too much difficulty), feel free to shoot anything my way.

Looks good, seems to be showing the following on my end. BG is missing.

Changing the following z-index levels seemed to make it work again for me

Change main::before from z-index: -1 to 1.
Change .mainarea to z-index: 2
Change footer to z-index: 2

Code:

main::before {
   z-index: 1
}

.mainarea, footer {
   z-index: 2;
}

Which resulted in: https://i.imgur.com/pwVFFss.jpg

This was only an issue in Chrome. Firefox seemed to be working fine.

Hmm, interesting... there shouldn't be anything hiding that element even with having it at -1, what version of Chrome are you on?

For me the current z-index ordering is working fine on Chrome 69.0.3497 (latest) & also tested on 66.0.3359 (just because I had this version on another machine near me ). Your changes seem to push the elements up 2 levels, which shouldn't really hurt anything to make these changes, but I'm just curious why it's happening and whether it's browser-based or I'm overlooking an issue with the ordering. Most other elements I've had to modify the z-index on are above 3 or well below -2, and the rest would be interpreted based on inheritances.

BTW, if you need any help w/ something modular (something you can split off and re-implement w/o too much difficulty), feel free to shoot anything my way.

Thank you, I'll certainly keep this in mind!

Just played a little but with BPIP today and I found that if you search for special characters it returns all the  usernames (I guess) stated with a special character. There is a list below.
Lets try searching for a ★ for example here is the result >


link to image


All the "?" in the resulst are leading to an error page >
https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=?

The first profile for example has the username >    £

Yea, definitely is weird to me. Using the latest version: 69.0.3497.100.

No console/network errors either. I'll try it in BrowserStack when I get the chance.

This may become a sort of bitcointalk forum wayback machine, as this forum have a long history and has been pretty much since bitcoin started.
I Can imagine if bitcoin/crypto finally disrupts into the mainstream culture this may be useful for someone who wants to investigate which has been the roots of this technology and the community that has been with it from the start!

Another idea is to have a link to this thread somewhere in About, so everyone can easily come here and report bugs or just leave a comment.

I found a bug on your site. When you open any profile and then open another profile, when you try to update the profile information you are transferred to another profile. I recorded a video on which you can see this bug.

It's not really a bug - it's just how it works. When you click on "UPDATE PROFILE", you go to a page called checkitnow.aspx which (probably) requests an update to the last profile you visited (which is known due to cookies on your browser) and redirects you back to it.

When you load a profile it saves a browser cookie with that profile number.  That is the profile that loads after checkitnow runs.

In your video, take note of the last profile you loaded.

Also noticed that searching '#' just returns back to the homepage. Not sure if usernames as permitted to start with # on BitcoinTalk, but if they are, that may cause an issue.

[LoyceV]

Not sure if usernames as permitted to start with # on BitcoinTalk, but if they are, that may cause an issue.

Search on Bitcointalk shows many usernames with a #.

Yeah, so that's a bug then. Trying to put one of their usernames into BPIP won't work. You just get redirected to the homepage.

I already mentioned it here, there are other symbols that return weird results.

The worst is "?"
