Thu, 07 Nov 2024 09:16:32 -0800 Andy from private IP /all Survey: what additional features would you like to see on here? I have everything working pretty well, but I always like to improve things. What would you like to have in the way of JDU features? I can think of a few things that might be cool: 1. Facebook-style post reactions for guests so that lurkers can have some interaction with users, even if it's just giving a thumbs-up or a heart. This would be helpful because users could get a sense of whether people appreciate their comments. 2. View counts and statistics that better reflect the actual readership of the site, which is about 2,000 people. This would let people see which posts are popular with lurkers. We already have DM's, search, a private Thunderdome for registered users, topics, tags, URL parsing, and others. I'm very happy with the backend software, which I wrote from scratch. I have this running half-joke, which is that I am the greatest lawyer-programmer in the world. It's true. #Programming #Technology Thu, 07 Nov 2024 11:54:22 -0800 zerosugar from private IP /all this is a hard call. maybe allow pics to be added just on thunderdome alone. its possible it could be flooded with nudes or obscene stuff, but its private anyway and can always be deleted. iirc pics are not allowed on autoadmit. i do not use autoadmit, but saw some posts there and no pics. another option would be voice tags, but that may be harder. Thu, 07 Nov 2024 13:02:37 -0800 Andy from private IP /all All right, I started with a reaction button. That was some intense programming. Thu, 07 Nov 2024 13:19:49 -0800 Andy from private IP /all I think I fixed this so that replying doesn't erase the reactions. Thu, 07 Nov 2024 13:20:32 -0800 Andy from private IP /all That was hard. Lol. Thu, 07 Nov 2024 16:30:27 -0800 marlon from private IP /all no more porno pics, it got so ugly Thu, 07 Nov 2024 17:00:12 -0800 Andy from private IP /all @marlonTest I specifically recall one photo of two naked people with what looked like chili smeared over their genital areas. Then I realized it wasn't chili. Barf. Thu, 07 Nov 2024 18:02:03 -0800 marlon from private IP /all those were bad days, JDU was dead anyhow, nothing like the golden days Fri, 08 Nov 2024 07:08:15 -0800 Andy from private IP /all You know what else would be cool? If you could tag threads to follow and get a page of only followed threads. That way, you can pick and choose what posts you want to see the most of. Or maybe when you react to a post, you see those threads at the top. I did do a test run of a mouseover preview that shows you who is active in any particular thread. That was super cool and you can still turn it on manually, but it puts a lot of load on the server because it has to process a request every time your cursor moves on the screen. This platform is an ongoing evolution of my custom bulletin board software, Mosaicโข, and it's shaping up well. I was encouraged to spend more time on it by learning from the logs that there are about 2,000 active readers instead of 50. Fri, 08 Nov 2024 18:26:31 -0800 whiteguyinchina from private IP /all You should offer a recall or delete feature for posts. Fri, 08 Nov 2024 18:27:32 -0800 whiteguyinchina from private IP /all No pics. It will degrade into porn. One bad apple will ruin the bunch. Sat, 09 Nov 2024 03:07:37 -0800 Andy from private IP /all I'm working on the reactions feature this morning. It's going to be tough to have reactions to individual replies, which are not stored in a fashion that makes it easy for me. But I think I can manage that with an addition to the reply feature that adds a unique ID for each reply. If I have a unique ID, I can add it to the reactions in the .meta file and track reactions for each reply. @whiteguyinchinaTest I can probably do a recall feature, but that would only be if there are no replies to a post. Meanwhile, folks would have to tag or email me to remove individual posts. Sat, 09 Nov 2024 03:28:25 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #14014998 to /posts/all/1730999792-137.txt I'm working on the reactions feature. Added a unique ID to each reply, which will enable per-reply reactions. Sat, 09 Nov 2024 04:27:04 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #19282660 to /posts/all/1730999792-137.txt This should work.

This is a lot better than reacting to whole posts, which I will enable in the index. Sat, 09 Nov 2024 05:13:53 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #19841499 ๐ก P.S. The reactions are only going to be available for replies posted after I enabled that feature. Sorry. Mon, 11 Nov 2024 08:14:51 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #15332798 I'm still working on the reaction feature. Something happened with the CSS code where the buttons are not always aligned. Lol. I also need to match the reactions up with the reply ID numbers so that you see the reactions in the correct place on the page instead of all at the bottom. Wed, 13 Nov 2024 08:54:23 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #11158703 Still working on the reaction feature. Because I support IPv6 on all my websites, the reaction list is unreasonably long when folks are not logged in. Will be improving the interface in the near future, as I find the time. Thu, 23 Jan 2025 18:23:56 -0800 Exnite from private IP Reply #14233640 1) Ability to edit and delete posts 2) Better line sourcing which appears almost random (harder to read) 3) Ability to move posts around the site itself 4) Delete the avatars 5) Bring back Admin and T.I.

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 07:18:54 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #16687397 @ExniteTest Some of these are not possible, but #1 is for sure, I just haven't done it yet. Editing will require a few additions that are somewhat complicated to implement, and might require me to do a little additional practice with the Linux command line tools that I use to construct the pages on here. I just haven't had a block of time lately to do it. #2 is adjustable with the word wrap slider at the upper right of the screen. You can control how wide the display is to optimize for your device. Otherwise, it's pretty tough to target line breaking for each possible device. #3 would be easy, I will make sure people have the ability to transfer their posts from/to Thunderdome without emailing me to do it manually. #4 I'm torn, because I kind of like these A.I.-generated avatars. It lets folks have a visual instead of just keeping track of names. I'll post a poll in the main forum calling for votes on that. #5 I have no idea even who the original Admin was, as he has made it difficult to determine who ran the old domain that he still owns. T.I. and I are connected on LinkedIn and he has told me he doesn't want to participate directly because he is afraid of being harassed by one particular poster who I don't want to name. Fri, 24 Jan 2025 07:23:03 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #12184643 I just realized I can easily have a setting for displaying or not displaying avatars. I'll add that ASAP so you can decide for yourselves whether you want to see avatars. Sat, 25 Jan 2025 11:22:48 -0800 Exnite from private IP Reply #18055022 ๐คฃ ๐ฎ ๐คฃ Add: posting pictures. Wilyโs former habitat needs to be shared with all. Mon, 10 Feb 2025 17:46:26 -0800 phosita from private IP Reply #13566921 ๐ (0x00) dark mode; (0x01) I'll cast a vote *against* editing of a Poast. Zeroth item is simply for calmer reading. First item explanation is as follows. Let's say you write a Poast titled "I sure love mayonnaise!" and explain why it is your favorite condiment. Then let's say another user replies "I wholeheartedly agree." Now let's imagine you retain an ability to edit your Poast title and contents; and that you use this ability to change your Poast title to say "I wholeheartedly love Stalin" and set forth in your poast the reasons why. Well. As soon as the ink's dry on your edit it now appears that the other user - who concurred in the judgment about mayo - thinks Stalin is cool. Which, in my opinion, is not something that you want, admin-sahib. I would guardedly say it's okay to allow Poasts to be edited provided that neither of two conditions are TRUE: first, some timeout (few minutes max) has passed; and second, that some reply to the post has been committed. Mon, 10 Feb 2025 19:26:20 -0800 whiteguyinchina from private IP Reply #19173184 Can we have a delete post feature, such as where shithead deleted entire threads of answers? Tue, 11 Feb 2025 06:59:03 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #11090165 Over the last year, I've thought a lot about potential editing and deleting of posts. It would only be possible when no one has replied to the post, because as @phositaTest indicated, it's possible to completely change the meaning of someone's reply by editing the title or the contents of a post. Deleting doesn't seem fair when sometimes people put a lot of effort into their replies. So I'm going to have to decline those requests, except where posts have zero replies. Let me figure out the implementation :) Tue, 11 Feb 2025 06:59:59 -0800 Andy from private IP Reply #17797048 @phositaTest I can do a dark mode with no problem. Let me work on the stylesheet and the setting for that over the next week or two. I've got a lot going on, so it might take a little longer than necessary. Tue, 11 Feb 2025 07:48:18 -0800 phosita from private IP Reply #11465023 w00t, dark mode. Thanks! Tue, 11 Feb 2025 15:49:26 -0800 zerosugar from private IP Reply #12588619 i wonder who TI was harassed by or who he is afraid of. surely, its not me although its possible he would claim that. i always suspected ti was admin. the most fights were between the poster i won't name and bizzy. they sort of were heavily influenced by the manosphere and dating gurus and wanted to compete with one another over who could score the most women in latin america. then, many people trolled that guy coco. he was some lawyer in california i think. of course,there were a few problematic posters who outed people who did not want to be outed. my mistake was letting slm know my first name when he was supposed to come to chicago. in since my first name is not spelled in the more generic way that its commonly spelled by americans and especially hispanics in the usa, i am pretty easy to find even by a first name.Replies require login.
