Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [5500+ BTC]

[live627]

Sharing is caring, they say.

So what if its that old do they not update the forum software anymore?

[live627]

Oh, they have updates, alright. 2.0 a year ago, and 2.1 is in alpha.

[zero3112]

well it says Powered by SMF 1.1.16 | SMF © 2006-2009, Simple Machines so it must be old then.

I've read through this forum, theymos you have a lot of good offers to consider. I look forward to an enhanced BTCtalk. You mentioned you have a budget of 920 BTC. I'm just curious where this comes from-not trying to be nosy btw. I'm just saying because the reason I love this site so much is its user-user with no intermediary (BitMit) taking a percentage of transactions. Is all of that 920 BTC donated? If so thats incredible. Give me an address and I'll donate if thats the case!

Please see the Donate link at the top of the page.

I'm not sure if you have looked at this path, but a previous forums site I am on had been running SMF as well and was taken down by an exploit in its coding (can't remember what version they were running) but they upgraded there forums software to IP Board, and so far have not had an issue with it. Mind you what they use it for is probably not as high maintenance as required by BCT. but this could be an alt solution

bitcointalk is also targeted at a group of people who are more likely than average to be interested in coding & hacking.

eg. even with exact same forum software, and same number of members, grandmasknittingtalk.org would probably be less likely to get hacked.

Not the post new reply link, if that was what you were thinking, as you said "bigger text". I meant the image that opens unread replies on a thread.
Pagination and clicking that image are the biggest difficulties, at least for me, and I use a tablet. I can only imagine how much pinching to zoom people will have to do on a smartphone lol

I:
- Replaced with larger "[new]" text.
- Increased the size of page links.
- Removed the top page numbers from section pages because they took up a lot of space.

Better?

Does anyone know what it is that's forcing pages like "recent unread topics" to be a certain minimum width?

One feature request for the new forum that is critical for me: The ability to post/reply via email.
E.g. is the Google Groups interface.

I hate logging into the forum constantly to do these stuff.

(Dunno if this has been discussed or not)

Some 2013 technologies first, then, maybe, some NNTP-like stuff.

Don't know, i can resize it without any problem.

3600 BTC is still  the offer? I want...

Hi theymos, two quick questions about your huge, exciting project.

1)

Security
...
No user group should be able to run arbitrary code...

Would you allow a Super-admin (one single person) with "full privileges", combined with "No user group (including any other admins) should be able to run arbitrary code" ?

2) If you accept a detailed bid that includes an impressive, partially finished demo site, then is a BTC down payment of ~25 to 33% possible, to provide income while the project is finished?

Thank you.

[theymos]

I'd definitely prefer that it be impossible to run arbitrary code from the Web interface.

2) If you accept a detailed bid that includes an impressive, partially finished demo site, then is a BTC down payment of ~25 to 33% possible, to provide income while the project is finished?

If the code is available, I could pay by milestone. 25% seems like too much.

By arbitrary code, you mean eval(), right?

[theymos]

By arbitrary code, you mean eval(), right?

Yes. With SMF, administrators can run arbitrary code by modifying the themes, which are executed via eval().

[Bit_Happy]

Yes. With SMF, administrators can run arbitrary code by modifying the themes, which are executed via eval().

Can the Super-admin (the site owner who logged in securely over ssl) have web-based access to (for example) ./inc/plugins/example_mod.php to change code that is *not* executed via eval()  ?

[live627]

That would imply the file being world writable (0666) which is insecure.

2theymos:

Look at this stuff https://www.pgpru.com/razrabotki/dvizhok/files?get=openspace-0.8.25a.tar.bz2

There are little Russian language,
https://www.pgpru.com/razrabotki/dvizhok

I can provide you with translate.
It is php, pretty secure, etc.

You may donate some amount of bitcoins to author and to me 1CJukXJVbsCpwm9i7Ez1gXtsjh6QmBjFGB too.

No.
