Quote from tate:
So does the area where you write the text to post like to put random posts in there or something. When i clicked in this thread to read it popped up nates post two posts up from here.
I once had mine spout up random gibberish, but that was a few weeks ago, and nothing's happened since then.
just pushed out an update. you will need to reload every open tab to get automatic updates to start coming in again.
the most significant change this time will probably be invisible to users: i rewrote the entire events system to have better performance. hopefully we'll be in better shape for the sda marathon now. you may notice that your posts appear more quickly, especially during peak times (evenings in the us).
if you're a user of chat mode (to enable it, click the triangle next to the thread title in post view), you'll notice that it's been revamped by arkarian to be much more irc-like. this is, again, in preparation for the marathon and irc integration.
other changes:
- can now delete attachments before you've posted
- fixed a bug causing people to get removed from the viewing list when viewing the same thread in multiple browsers (thanks 072)
- fixed a bug causing post text to sometimes change into html after editing (thanks moooh, deign, arkarian)
- no longer reload the page when making a new thread - should stop people from accidentally making duplicate threads
- fixed a bug preventing subboards from being updated live when viewing their parent board
- fixed a bug preventing boards from being updated properly when users and all their posts are deleted by admins (thanks ryu)

just pushed out a minor update. there is one new feature: you can add #last on the end of the url to a thread (replacing what comes after the # if there's something already there), then go to that url to be taken to the last post in the thread. putting #unread there will take you to the first unread post or to the last post if there is no unread post. i imagine that this will be particularly useful in mainbar links. so for example if you always want to be taken to the first unread post in this thread, then put this link in your mainbar:
http://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/taiga_forum30_2.html#unread
bugs fixed:
- search no longer defaults to private threads only unless you're actually already in a private view
- the links in private board view for first unread message in private threads said /post/ instead of /private/
adding/removing people from existing pms and fixes for board view unread events should be in the next update.

just pushed out another update. as always, please reload once in all tabs to get the new features.
now you can add or remove people from private threads if you created the thread (have the first post). do this from private thread view (in the "invited" column). you can also remove yourself from any private thread, which is the same thing as deleting it for you, since you won't be able to see it any more after doing that. use with care.
fixes:
- index and board view should change when you load new posts, marking them as read (thanks nms)
- also brought back live viewing count updates in board view
- private thread title links no longer point to /post/

just pushed out another update. the attachment system has been rewritten to be faster and more friendly. in particular, there are now progress bars. remember to reload first to see all the changes. thanks.
the maximum attachment size is 100 meg. if you try to attach a file larger than this it will warn you immediately, so you don't need to check the size before you upload.
the other new feature this update only applies to admins, who can now ban both ip addresses and individual user accounts by clicking on the ip link on each post.
bugs fixed:
- problems attaching certain kinds of files with chrome (thanks 072)

you have likely already thought about it but is it at all possible to add a script that checks against a version hash or something and when needed auto updates the needed stuff so people wouldn't necessarily have to reload for new changes to take effect? although i could see something like that leaving some kind of security loop hole. it would be cool for updates and bug fixes to be as smooth and seamless as the rest of the forum :)

this doesn't have anything to do with me but i guess i don't see what's so hard about reloading. there's no other app on the entire web that i know of that does what you're describing. it could definitely be done but i don't really see the point.
ideally updates will become fewer and farther between so it will be less of a hassle for users.

i try very hard to make sure it's not actually necessary to reload. the reason i always say that is because it's annoying for me to have to say "reload" when people's browsers cache things they shouldn't be caching (usually .css files) and see things in an inconsistent state and assume it's supposed to be that way. so i figure if i make it this omnipresent thing then eventually people checking the update thread will internalize it and start to do it all the time which is really good for me from a support perspective since reloading fixes so many problems. having said that right now i'm using an experimental system to prevent the main javascript file loaded on every page from getting out of sync with the page from caching and it's working pretty well, so it's only a matter of time before i extend that to .css files and any other files i've found people's browsers to be caching past their expire times. i've thought a lot about writing a force reload but it's so invasive and so likely to be abused that i'm probably going to resist doing that forever. if they want the benefits of an update right now then they can reload manually.
