Which, at least in those projects I work on, eventually leads to bugless, or NEARLY bugless code.

I admit you are right, but sometimes it's hard to decide what discretion to use to properly release a new version.  Perhaps you should note some bugs that you think should be taken care of.... if, that is, you think it is ever so buggy.

I really don't care how buggy or bug free 1.5.x is. I am using 1.4.1* and will for the time being. The major bug in 1.4.1 in my opinion is the cookies. All the rest are cosmetic or os related. And on my board I have fixed or forgot about most of them.

As far as knowing when to release a new version whoever is in charge should know that a week or less of testing just ain't gonna make it.  btw, glad you're taking your time with the bugfix.

Actually cookies are more broken in 1.5.0 then in 1.4.1 in my opinion.

I agree.  Now, to fix that.....

Well I would hope it is in 1.5.1. Although I just now found out that ever since 1.3 or earlier the code that sets the password after modifying the profile has been wrong.

So I would say cookies in general suck.

Sorry about the wrist. Bet it kinda makes it hard to type. Personally I try to stay away from any sport that has snow involved.

And thanks for the nice words about my site. And yes, it does make me more likely to make the mod.

It is realy hard to type, but i'll get use to it..

And don't make you feel more likely to make the mod just because I said nice things about your site. I just likt the combination of colours and how you modified your forum.

In my opinion: Why upgrade your board while your old board works fine and fast

In the world of technology, there are two schools of thought: The "If it Ain't Broke Don't Fix It" people and the "Need More Power!" people.

Bart and Dan seem to be of the first, whereas I most definitely fall into the second category.

There are more than two I'll use cars as an analogy. Some folks buy a new car every year. Others take theirs to the mechanic and keep it for a few years. Others like me, spend a lot of time adding improvements and even take the features from the new car, improve them and add them to their 'old' car.

There are also a lot of folks who don't want or need the 'more' power of the latest version.

There are also those who think they have to have to upgrade, just because it's the latest and greatest. That whole idea was perfected by Microsoft and others. It's one of the reasons a word processor takes 20mb of space on your hard drive. More features do not always equate to more power.

Two of my favorite examples, 'new' coke and anything that's 'new and improved'. 'new' coke needs no explanation. But my question is how can anything be new and improved? Isn't that an oxymoron, like military intelligence or jumbo shrimp?

I was joking.

to get back on topic, had an idea about the quotes. How about two quote buttons, one would quote the entire message, the other only quote the original? Is that clear and/or desired?

Look for these lines in post.php:

Code Select Expand

     $form_message = "[quote author=$mname link=board=$currentboard;threadid=$threadid;start=$start#$quotemsg date=$mdate]\n$form_message\n[/quote]";
Add before:

Code Select Expand

     $form_message = preg_replace("-\n*\[quote([^\\]]*)\]((.|\n)*?)\[/quote\]([\n]*)-", '', $form_message);
      $form_message = preg_replace("/\n*\[\/quote\]\n*/", '', $form_message);

There is not yet a way to turn it on and off but it is a begin i think. (old dan? )

[bart]

The code works, i tested it so thats great!

this should work. In display.php look for

Code Select Expand

      print "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=post;threadid=$viewnum;quote=$mid;title=" . URLencode($txt[116]) . ";start=$start\">" . $img[replyquote] . '</a>';

and add after

Code Select Expand

      print "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=post;threadid=$viewnum;quote=$mid;title=" . URLencode($txt[116]) . ";start=$start;quotetype=\"1\"\">" . $img[replyquote2] . '</a>';

Then in post.php change
global $sourcedir;
to
global $sourcedir, $quotetype;

then change

Code Select Expand

     $form_message = preg_replace("-\n*\[quote([^\\]]*)\]((.|\n)*?)\[/quote\]([\n]*)-", '', $form_message);
      $form_message = preg_replace("/\n*\[\/quote\]\n*/", '', $form_message);
to

Code Select Expand

     if ($quotetype == 1)
      {
        $form_message = preg_replace("-\n*\[quote([^\\]]*)\]((.|\n)*?)\[/quote\]([\n]*)-", '', $form_message);
        $form_message = preg_replace("/\n*\[\/quote\]\n*/", '', $form_message);      
      }

you will also have to add
$img['replyquote2']
to english.lng (translate to your language if you have to)
with the corresponding text (selective quote) and/or graphic. Said graphic you will have to make yourself. You really don't want me to do it

And that should do it. Keep in mind, none of this has been tested.

Think it will work, sorry can't test it, my host is now defenitly down (for ever!) So I'm searching for a new host

[Dude]

If you're looking for a good host I've been on Rochen Host for awhile now and haven't had any problems at all.

I'll try the code out myself, hopefully this weekend. I'm cutting some lead guitar tracks right now.
