Screwing around with the forum software by unknownfile at 3:09 PM EDT on August 31, 2007
This is moved over from the security thread where discussion was going to go offtopic.

Anyways, I am adding new stuff to the forum software. Currently working additions include:

- SHA-1 password protection
- RSS feed (very primitive)

Stuff I'm working on includes:

- Quote button (currently unusable)
- Preferences for users (not sure whether to put it in the database or in a cookie)

For that rss feed, add this URL to get the most recently updated threads.

Suggest stuff here and I might try coding it.

Oh, yes! I have been wanting a RSS feed. Thanks.

RSS feed is updated now, there are some issues in some RSS clients (Thunderbird is one of them), but it's working goodly.

Some stuff:

Old threads that get bumped will not be acknowledged by the RSS feed. The thing was set to get posts from the 10 newest threads, now it gets it from 25.

I also added ?viewsource which does exactly what it says. Now it is no longer needed to keep a php5s file on the server.

The reply buttons currently don't really do anything of use so I'll work on them.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the forum software no longer displays the "Added" message until further notice.

Also, test

Test version 2

Just to let you know, when Sage reads that a new post is made, it marks that the feed has been updated, but it does not show which feeds are new. I am no RSS expert, so I have no idea why this is.
New Stuff by PokeParadox at 9:35 AM EDT on September 1, 2007
I must admit I'm liking the new features. I may even switch to using this forum on one of my sites, due to the addition of RSS.

UF's RSS link doesn't get liked by my aggregator though :S

I'd like a "news mode" facility, so you can have a thread that you can include on a main page...

Might not be so useful to everyone though and I'm not so sure it's along the lines of what yu were expecting in terms of feature requests...

I think you could just write a PHP include(or just a snippet of code for a page), with the showthread number as the variable. As long as the database details are the same for both the forum and the thread reader, it could be used without any changes to the forum coding itself.

I am adding some features that allow for customization of how pages are viewed, so that means more than 20 posts can be viewed per each page. Stay tuned for updates.
