Various Slashdot Fixes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dear-god-I-hope-so dept.

I think the login problems are fixed. It was a stupid mistake (the user account field for time zones was 3 charachters long, so anyone who selected a time zone with a 4 char abbreviation-- like say, cadt, wouldn't be able to login. Yeah, I'm an idiot). I think the cookie problems are resolved now too. I implemented changes to the Comment Limit function: the comments will display nifty little links to pages each containing the next "Comment Limit" # of comments in the top level. Several folks suggested that- I guess it was about time I got off my lazy duff and implemented it. A few bugs still left in nested mode, hopefully I'll sort that out before Futurama. Lastly, Hemos got like 500 or so happy birthday emails. You guys rock. I fear his vengence.

  1. Source Code? by CmdrTaco · · Score: 2

    When its ready. Its nowhere near usable to anyone else. Everything is hardcoded to me. When I finish this round of feature adding ( a few more weeks probably) I'll tar up a ball and let people smash it around. In the meantime, live with the 0.2 piece-of-crap we've got online now.

    Pants are still optional, but recommended for you.
  2. CT's self-defamation by dzawitz · · Score: 2

    Hmm. Let me get this straight...so the owner and creator of a kickass linux/other stuff website makes some major improvements to his code, and he screws up one little character thing in his user files and that makes him an "idiot?"

    Hell, I screw up semicolons all the time. That must make me the biggest fuckin retard on earth :)

    Seriously, Rob, there's nothing wrong with debugging your new additions to the application :) Give yourself some credit for kicking ass.

    Open Source remember?
    Release the code Rob!

  4. comment switch by prijks · · Score: 2

    well, a change was made a while back so that the lowest score possible was a -1. sometime before this i set my lowest comment thingy to be -10... after today's changes, i found this had set itself to 0. censorship conspiracy? prolly not... but kinda annoying since i almost missed the "me first" post on this thread...

    also, i saw a post earlier today with a score of -4

    a feature i'd like to see on /. btw would be configurable colors for bg, text, links and the (currently) green bars... i'm a big fan of black backgrounds... much easier on my poor eyes...

  5. Themes? by pnkfelix · · Score: 2

    So Rob. when are you going to make Slashdot
    Themeable?

    I'm just dying to throw the Metal L&F on
    this puppy.
