* 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.
* For admins, make it a specific opt-in filter for the Site Gallery to
show all pictures regardless of friendship or grant (for moderation
purposes). On this view, Like and Comment buttons are taken away.
Non-admins are not shown the option and the back-end ignores the
parameter for them.
* Fix user avatars on compose and admin actions page.
* 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 ability to unlock your private photos for others.
* Link to unlock is on another user's Photos page.
* You can also access your "Manage Private Photos" page in the User Menu
or Dashboard and add a user by username.
* See who you have granted access, and see users who have granted you
access to their private photos.
* Private photos of users who unlocked them for you may appear on the Site
Gallery if the photo allows.
* Add new filters to the Site Gallery: you can choose to filter by Explicit,
limit to a specific Visibility, and order by Newest or Oldest. Non-explicit
users do not get a filter to see explicit content - they must opt-in in
their settings.
* Bugfix: Site Gallery was not correctly filtering Explicit photos away from
users who did not opt-in for explicit!
* 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
* On Forums landing page, show who was the most recent commenter on each
board's most recently updated post.
* Show photo count on Profile Pages on the "Photos" tab.
* Revise the mobile and tablet top nav bar:
* Always show small badge icons linking to the Site Gallery & Forum
* Always show Friends & Messages badges. If no new notifications, they
display as grey instead of yellow w/ a number.
* Put icons next to most nav bar items, especially the User Menu
* Tighten the sprawling page layouts in the Forums to be more compact
for mobile screens.
* Fix bug where some pages scrolled horizontally on mobile: the root cause
was divs with class="content p-2", needs minimum p-3 (but p-4 is used) to
provide enough padding to overcome column margins which were pushing the
page too wide on mobile.
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.
* Friends: can now see your sent requests awaiting approval too.
* Site Gallery: you may see Friends-only photos on the Gallery if you are
friends with the owner and the pic is opted-in for the Gallery.
* Site Gallery: show color coded visibility icons in card headers.
* Improve appearance of Upload Photo page.
* Update FAQ
* iPad in landscape mode was "desktop" size so got the full nav bar but
the "More" drop-down was unusable. Add work-arounds for large touch
devices to make the nav bar functional.
* "Click" on the "More" button will pin it open so that the drop-down
doesn't rely solely on mouseover events. Clicking off the open
drop-down or clicking again on "More" toggles it hidden.
* The logged-in user menu now drops its menu on hover like "More" did.
* The logged-in user menu adds "TouchStart" events: touching the menu
button toggles its drop-down to appear, canceling the link to "/me"
that clicking the menu button does on desktops. Clicking off the open
drop-down closes it.
* Add notification indicators for "mobile" devices which only showed the
brand and hamburger menu by default. Next to the hamburger button will
be badges for number of friend requests or messages, with icons. Click
the badge to go to the relevant page, or it hints that there are
notifications in the drop-down.
* Add setting to mark profile as "private"
* If a profile is private you can't see their profile page or user photo
gallery unless you are friends (or admin)
* The Site Gallery never shows pictures from private profiles.
* Add HTML5 drag/drop upload support for photo gallery.
* Suppress SQL logging except in debug mode.
* Clean up extra logs.
* Add photo upload quotas.
* Non-certified users can upload few photos; certified users more
* Fix foreign key issues around deleting user profile photos for psql
* Add the Contact page where users can contact the site admins for feedback or
to report a problematic user, photo or message.
* Reports go into the admin Feedback table.
* Admin nav bar indicates number of unread feedbacks.
* Add "Report" button to profile pages, photo cards, and the top of Direct
Message threads.
Misc changes:
* Send emails out asynchronously for more responsive page loads.
Implement block lists. They work like friend lists but are unidirectional,
but take effect in both directions (blocker and blockee can not see one
another on the site -- except admin users can always see all users).
* Profile page says 404
* User gallery says 404
* User search page filters out blocked users
* Compose endpoint blocks sending messages to blocked users (except admin)
* Site Gallery filters photos by blocked (and uncertified) users
* Inbox page hides chat list for blocked users (can still read the chat
history if you have a link to the old thread)
* Add impersonate feature
* Add ban/unban user feature
* Add promote/demote admin status feature
* Add admin user deletion feature
* Admin ability to see other status certification pics
* Nav bar indicator of pending admin actions such as cert pics
needing approval
* Admin ability to search cert pics for specific user
* Add "forgot password" workflow.
* Add ability to change user email address (confirmation link sent)
* Add ability to change user's password.
* Add rate limiter to deter brute force login attempts.
* Add user deep delete functionality (delete account).
* Ping user LastLoginAt every 8 hours for long-lived session cookies.
* Add age filters to user search page.
* Add sort options to user search (last login, created, username/name)
* Add "Site Gallery" page showing all public+gallery member photos.
* Add "Certification Required" decorator for gallery and other main pages.
* Add the Certification Photo workflow:
* Users have a checklist on their dashboard to upload a profile pic
and post a certification selfie (two requirements)
* Admins notified by email when a new certification pic comes in.
* Admin can reject (w/ comment) or approve the pic.
* Users can re-upload or delete their pic at the cost of losing
certification status if they make any such changes.
* Users are emailed when their photo is either approved or rejected.
* User Preferences: can now save the explicit pref to your account.
* Explicit photos on user pages and site gallery are hidden if the
current user hasn't opted-in (user can always see their own explicit
photos regardless of the setting)
* If a user is viewing a member gallery and explicit pics are hidden, a
count of the number of explicit pics is shown to inform the user that
more DO exist, they just don't see them. The site gallery does not do
this and simply hides explicit photos.
* Add the user photo gallery for profile pages. Paginated, grid or full (blog
style) view options. In grid view clicking a photo opens a large modal to
see it; full view already shows large photos.
* Edit page: can also re-crop and set an existing pic to be your profile pic.
* Delete page: remove photos from the DB and hard drive.
* Photos are cleaned up from disk when not needed, e.g. during a re-crop the
old cropped photo is removed before the new one replaces it.
* Fixed bug with cropping pictures.
