- had this on the old server, will need to look into JEEP's code for it and see how well it translates. Would like to add a way to enable it by thread owner, not user.

Priority: low.

Mr. Flay wrote:Correct. It's still high on my list to get mods their own rights to delete player posts, but haven't had time to find the right combination of variables. They locked phpBB3 down in some interesting ways...

• Format of PMs is wonky

  - I know, I know, technical terms. I can see it's not formatting correctly and I even know why, but I haven't tested the fix yet.

  Estimated completion: 6/22.
  Done.
  
• scumchat

  - need to put the link back up for it, soon! Undecided about where exactly, yet... taking suggestions.
  Done.
  
• Game Moderators being unable to unlock their own threads, or edit once locked

  - we know what's causing this and are working on a workaround. Go to http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... =1&t=14321 in the meantime if you're unable to unlock your game.

  Estimated completion: 6/17 at the latest.
  Done.
• Read in Isolation mod

  - I haven't ported it over yet, but I have at least two examples to work from.

  Estimated completion: 6/18.
  Done; does have an idiosyncrasy when there's just one post.
  
• wiki images

  - mith has fixed the permissions on the upload folder.
  Done.
  
• BCC PMs

  - The new 'Add' button on PMs works great, except it copies the names in public.

  Not so great for role PMs

  ! Use 'Add BCC' instead. I'll look into changing it, but I suspect it will be easier to just learn the new interface.
  Added a disclaimer.
  
• Open Game Forum

  - pretty easy actually, we did it on the test forum. Low priority compared to some of the current problems/bugs, though.
  Done.
  
• Watched Topics

  - WT were a homebrew mod by JEEP so they didn't convert over into Subscriptions/Bookmarks. I'll check with mith about getting them ported into Bookmarks, but can't promise anything. Use 'View Your Posts' to find most of them and Subscribe/Bookmark them.
  
  
• In a similar vein, the regular reply screen should be made less confusing (Submit | Preview | Save Draft)
  Done.
  
• -->

  somewhere

  there's a bad interaction between comment tags that leads to a trailing tag showing up on the Quick Reply box. It doesn't happen on every page, however... may be because of an oddly-compiledBBcode.
  I believe I found this problem and fixed it...
  
• Post Numbers

  - I haven't ported it over yet, but I have at least two examples to work from.
  Done.
  
• Game Moderators being unable to edit locked threads/player posts in their games
  Done.
  
• Topic-Mod

  - Game Moderators should only be able to edit posts in their own threads, not forum-wide. Just requires a bit of fiddling with permissions.
  Done.
  
• class="first"> -->

  - Some users (Opera-only?) are getting this before posts. Check and see if there's any mismatched comment code.
  I believe I found this problem and fixed it...
  
• Truncated posts
  - We underestimated how big our biggest posts were; some posts over 100,000 bytes got truncated.
  All data is still available!
  mith is working on a copy scheme.
  Fix in progress.
  
  
• [] links

  - reimplement the profile button for personal wiki pages!
  Done; may want to add it to the profile page at some point.
  
• Birthday/Scumday
  - just need to look at JEEP's old code, should be an easy implementation.[/strike] Done, thanks to Kison for the scumday code fix.
  
• scumchat link
  - the redirect from index.php doesn't work right now; the fix is coded but not implemented yet.
  Estimated completion: 12/23
  
  
• mafSepia, mafTigers
  - Sepia is implemented. Tigers needs a new artist/coder, as the other person had to drop the task due to time constraints. Some people have also asked for a mobile theme that is high-visibility, low-image-use.
  Priority for Tigers and Mobile: medium-low; sciGreen and others; negligible


• Gender and other custom profile fields
  - The data's reimported, but icons aren't implemented yet. Would like to have a way to 'forbid' the use of the tg icon if it becomes problematic.
  Estimated completion: unknown; may not redo it. Priority: low.
  
  
• Preview on Hover

  - JEEP's old mod shouldn't be that hard to transfer over, but it might take me a while to get to it.
  Done, though only for first post, not last post.
  
• Game tags
  - Chess is done, though I'm looking into removing the 'piece icons' from the moves list. are still dicey, and Go/etc isn't even on my radar...
  Priority: low-medium.
  
  
• Quick Reply needs some tweaking
  - already forced it to display by default and swapped Preview for Full Editor. A "Quote Selected" button would be nice; should also re-add the "Subscribe to this topic?" checkbox. Found a mod that does most of this. Also need an option for people to disable
  Estimated completion: 1/15
  
  
• Prod Interface
  - It should be possible to give game moderators a summary of when everyone last posted in the game, and an easy way to prod them. There's an offsite script that does this at present, but integrating it with the forum should be more efficient. This will benefit from a way to designate players as 'alive' or 'dead'.
  Priority: medium; knowledge: lacking.
  
  
• View Entire Thread
  - had this on the old server, disabled it due to server load. Might be able to restore it, for Printer-Friendly View at least.
  Priority: low
  
  
• Search PMs
  - http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/pm_search/ will probably work, but may need some bug-checking.
  Priority: low
  
  
• View All Players' Posts
  - on the old board a 'bug' allowed all the View in Iso posts to show up on a single page. Some people want this again... may instead bump it to 100 posts/page when viewing in ISO.
  Priority: low
  
  
• Global Announcements
  - something seems to be acting up about the 'view latest unread' when it comes to GA threads. Have to dig in the code to find out what might be causing it, though...
  Priority: low
  
  
• View First Post on every page
  - had this on the old server, will need to look into JEEP's code for it and see how well it translates. Would like to add a way to enable it by thread owner, not user.
  Priority: low.
  
  
• Multiquote
  - I'm not sure exactly how people want this implemented, but it exists now for the last 25 posts in a thread - just look at the Topic Review under the posting editor. Other sites use a 'sticky' QuickReply box, or checkboxes and then quoting all checked posts (will lead to walls).
  Priority: low
  
  
• BBCode Documentation
  - At some point we should edit http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/faq.php?mode=bbcode to show our new/custom bbcodes. I'd prefer to upgrade the FAQ Manager first.

Mr. Flay wrote:Thank Kison!

I've got a fix in the works for post numbers not showing up in topic review under the reply editor, but it won't upload for some reason...

Worked the following evening... let me know if it broke anything.
