<sup> and <sub> have been enabled. currently there is no markdown syntax for these, give me a few moments

probably never. maybe we could special-case johnvertisements though

<pulsate> is also available for purposes.

colour tags are now supported. all css colours are available, for foreground and background.

use <colour> for foreground colours. use<markcolour> for background colours.

it seems that if you delete all posts in a thread, then the thread doesn't appear on the listing page. how interesting

css/presentation todo:

• tidy up all the old grid things since we don't need them any more.
  • remove all obsolete or unused css from style.css and generally organise it a bit
• add "number of replies" field back to thread listing

(posting this here now because it's in my head but i have to go and do something else right now)

db todo:

• use rcte for forum parent breadcrumbs
• create views for most recent activity (per forum and for subforums), then simplify the big query for viewing a forum

this could occur. what tags would you like to see specifically? what kinds of animations?

and doesn't this count as an animation anyway

this is a test test

todo item: apionet integration and discord webhook support

ah yes

this is being sent from the lynx browser

<marquee> now works

wow!

A spectre is haunting Europe - the

once subforums exist all existing threads will be sent into one of the subforums. i haven't decided what kind of subforum that should be yet. deleting everything would be unfortunate, perhaps

sqlite is slightly annoying about what kinds of columns you are allowed to add to tables after already creating them. specifically i want to have the forum column on the threads table be NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 REFERENCES forums(id) but when adding columns with ALTER TABLE the default has to be NULL if the column includes a foreign key. it would therefore be slightly easier if i could delete all threads and create a new threads table.

however i can still just create a new threads table, with the column i want, and then copy all the existing rows into it, and that can all be done in pure sql so it will even still work with our exisitng migration thingy. so you're right this isn't even much of a big deal at all.

hmm there was something else involving moderators that i think would make this a bit more difficult but i have forgotten what that was about now. i'm sure i can figure out a way around it. and anyway, the worst case is that i have to manually run a python script on the server or something. there is only one deployed instance so this isn't that hard.

SO true

it is possible that the development of certain future apioforum features would be made easier if the database was wiped during certain updates, instead of performing complicated migrations to preserve everything. i would be interested to hear people's opinions for and against this, so that i can know whether people strongly want things on this site to not be deleted, or if they don't care that much.

it isn't guaranteed that wiping will ever be necessary, or preferable; i am just curious about how people feel about this, if it ever does become a thing that might be useful for us.

please deposit your opinions about this into this thread, where they will be ignored considered thoroughly.

i agree

so true

i didn't mention, but fenced code blocks are also enabled now

def bee():
    for i in range(12345):
        print("bee")

syntax highlighting isn't enabled, yet.

update: images are now enabled

actually i changed my mind. the apiology tag now exists.

i could allow the <img> tag i suppose. i might have to do some cssoids so it doesn't look terrible but i can't see any other reason not to do that.
