* Fix a bug where explicit GIF videos weren't blurring when the user
wanted them to be blurred.
* Make some improvements to the forums:
* Polls will now remember the Expires setting while you are previewing
and revising your original post.
* Add 14 day and 30 day Expire options for polls.
* Add disclaimer warnings above the Photo Attachment field when the
current forum or thread isn't marked for Explicit content.
* Move the forum box colors into dedicated styles that are easier to
override for the new theme colors.
* Updated the themes so forums and comment thread background cards now
match your chosen style.
* Add yellow and orange theme variants.
* On Forums and photo comment threads: display the poster's username
below their display name, if their username differs. If they do not
have a distinct display name, a small @ appears in front of their
display name instead.
* On Quote & Reply, wrap the @mention with a Markdown hyperlink to the
specific comment ID.
Make some adjustments to blocking behavior regarding the forums:
* Pre-existing bug: on a forum's home page (threads list), if a thread was
created by a blocked user, the thread still appeared with the user's name and
picture visible. Now: their picture and name will be "[unavailable]" but the
thread title/message and link to the thread will remain. Note: in the thread
view itself, posts by the blocked user will be missing as normal.
* Make some tweaks to allow forum moderators (and owners of user-owned forums)
able to see messages from blocked users on their forum:
* In threads: a blocked user's picture and name are "[unavailable]" but the
content of their message is still shown, and can be deleted by moderators.
Misc fixes:
* Private photos: when viewing your granted/grantee lists, hide users whose
accounts are inactive or who are blocked.
* CertifiedSince: in case a user was manually certified but their cert photo
status is not correct, return their user CreatedAt time instead.
* The bottoms of threads have moderator buttons now, to easily Pin or
Unpin the thread (for Owners + Admins) or to Lock/Unlock the thread
(all moderators).
* The "Newest" tab of the forum is updated with new filter options.
* Which forums: All, Official, Community, My List
* Show: By threads, All posts
* The option for "Which forums" is saved in the user's preferences and set as
their default on future visits, similar to the Site Gallery "Whose photos"
option.
* So users can subscribe to their favorite forums and always get their latest
posts easily while filtering out the rest.
* Forum Moderators
* Add the ability to add and remove moderators for your forum.
* Users are notified when they are added as a moderator.
* Moderators can opt themselves out by unfollowing the forum.
* ForumMembership: add unique constraint on user_id,forum_id.
* Add "Browse" tab to the forums to view them all.
* Text search
* Show all, official, community, or "My List" forums.
* Add a Follow/Unfollow button into the header bar of forums to add it to
"My List"
* On the Categories page, a special "My List" category appears at the top
if the user follows categories, with their follows in alphabetical order.
* On the Categories & Browse pages: forums you follow will have a green
bookmark icon by their name.
Permissions:
* The forum owner is able to Delete comments by others, but not Edit.
Notes:
* Currently a max limit of 100 follow forums (no pagination yet).
* Dark theme fixes to brighten notification colors on mobile
* Add change log buttons around various pages to easily look into the history
of an object in the database:
* User profile page ('about user' and user table history links)
* User friends page
* User/Site gallery page (history of all (user) photos)
* Admin insights page (comments, threads, and blocklist history)
* Admin certification page (history of a user's cert photos)
* Comment history buttons on forums and photos
* Add endpoint /go/comment?id= that finds the right page that a comment
can be seen on for the current user and redirects there.
* Resolves issues with link discrepancies in comment notifications, if
the recipient sees different page numbers depending on blocklist
status.
* Supports copyable permalinks to any comment on the site reliably.
* Add the PollVotes table and associated logic.
* Multiple choice polls supported.
* Expiring and non-expiring polls.
* Icons and badges on the forum pages to show posts with polls
* Bugfix: non-explicit users getting SQL errors on Newest Posts page.
Got initial Poll table and UI started:
* Polls can be attached to any NEW forum post (can't edit poll details
after creation)
* Max 100 options (theoretically unlimited), expiration time.
* UI: shows radio button list on posts having a poll, no submit handler
yet created.
* Add support to upload a picture to forum posts and replies, in forums that
have the PermitPhotos setting enabled.
* New DB table: CommentPhoto holds the association between a photo and a
forum ID. Photos can be uploaded at preview time (before a CommentID is
available) and get associated to the CommentID on save.
* Cron endpoint /v1/comment-photos/remove-orphaned can clean up orphaned
photos without a CommentID older than 24 hours.
* Add "Photo Boards" as a default forum category for new boards.
* Enhance user experience replying to a forum thread. An inline reply textarea
is added to page footers, "Quote" buttons on posts will quote the markdown
source and focus the reply textarea, and "Reply" buttons will put an
"@ mention" and focus the reply textarea. Users with scripts disabled will
still be sent to the regular reply page as before.
* Improve all pagers by adding a "QueryPlus" template function that merges the
page number with other current query parameters.
* Fix private profile picture avatars not displaying in your Notifications for
profile pics you're allowed to see.
* Users who set their Profile Picture to "friends only" or "private" can have
their avatar be private all over the website to users who are not their
friends or not granted access.
* Users who are not your friends see a yellow placeholder avatar, and users
not granted access to a private Profile Pic sees a purple avatar.
* Admin users see these same placeholder avatars most places too (on search,
forums, comments, etc.) if the user did not friend or grant the admin. But
admins ALWAYS see it on their Profile Page directly, for ability to moderate.
* Fix marking Notifications as read: clicking the link in an unread notification
now will wait on the ajax request to finish before allowing the redirect.
* Update the FAQ
* Add a "Newest" tab to the Forums landing page to order ALL forum posts
(comments) by most recent, paginated.
* Add a "Views" cooldown in Redis: viewing the same post multiple times
within 1 hour doesn't ++ the view count with every page load, per user
per thread ID.
* Update the paginators to handle unlimited numbers of pages: shows max
7 page buttons with your current page towards the middle.
* General ability to jump to the "last page" of anything: use a negative
page size like ?page=-1 and it acts like the last page.
* Add "Like" buttons to comments and forum posts.
* Make "private" profiles more private (logged-in users see only their profile
pic, display name, and can friend request or message, if they are not approved
friends of the private user)
* Add "logged-out view" visibility setting to profiles: to share a link to your
page on other sites. Opt-in setting - default is login required to view your
public profile page.
* CSRF cookie fix.
* Updated FAQ & Privacy pages.
* Add ability to (un)subscribe from comment threads on Forums and Photos.
* Creating a forum post, replying to a post or adding a comment to a photo
automatically subscribes you to be notified when somebody else adds a
comment to the thing later.
* At the top of each comment thread is a link to disable or re-enable your
subscription. You can join a subscription without even needing to comment.
If you click to disable notifications, they stay disabled even if you
add another comment later.
* Add permalink URL for photos to view their comment threads.
* Commenters can Edit or Delete their own comments.
* Photo owners can Delete any comment on it.
* Update Privacy Policy
Finish implementing the basic forum features:
* Pinned threads (admin or board owner only)
* Edit Thread settings when you edit the top-most comment.
* NoReply threads remove all the reply buttons.
* Explicit forums and threads are filtered out unless opted-in (admins
always see them).
* Count the unique members who participated in each forum.
* Get the most recently updated thread to show on forum list page.
* Contact/Report page: handle receiving a comment ID to report on.
Implement Likes & Notifications
* Like buttons added to Photos and Profile Pages. Implemented via simple
vanilla JS (likes.js) to make ajax requests to back-end to like/unlike.
* Notifications: for your photo or profile being liked. If you unlike,
the existing notifications about the like are revoked.
* The notifications appear as an alert number in the nav bar and are read
on the User Dashboard. Click to mark a notification as "read" or click
the "mark all as read" button.
Update DeleteUser to scrub likes, notifications, threads, and comments.
Adds initial code for basically functional forums:
* Forums landing page shows hard-coded list of Categories along with any
forums in the DB that use those categories.
* Admin: Create, Edit forums and view forums you own or have admin rights
to modify.
* Landing page forums list shows the title/description and dynamic count of
number of Topics and total number of Posts in each forum. TODO: distinct
count of Users who posted in each forum.
* Board Index page shows list of Threads (posts) with a Replies count and
Views count on each thread.
* Thread view is basically an array of Comments. Users can post, edit and
delete (their own) comments. Deleting the first comment removes the
entire Thread - the thread points to a first Comment to provide its body.
* Reply and Quote-Reply options working.
