[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

Looks good. This should make a wide variety of tasks much easier. :slight_smile:

(for example, if I go to my “My Posts” page and do a content search for “avatars”, it shows me every post I made where I embedded a different avatar inside the post)

What? >:-# Someone was DOSing BLF?!

Pitchforks and torches time.

Nope, network level attack.

What kind of depraved raccoon human being would pretend to be Mr. Admin and post this? :innocent:

Ha, you beat me to it!

Update: 23-FEB-2016:

- User “Location” field restored

Thanks for all the work sb! <3 BLF

can SB compare iP addresses to determine the prankster?

I certainly hope not! :-o

OK, I just implemented another feature on a trial basis: For years I’ve been wanting to be able to search posts within a thread. I think I worked up a solution, as long as it doesn’t slam the server too hard. To try it out, hit the Search Within Thread tab.

I’ve wanted that very badly many times. I don’t need it today, but I’m sure I’ll need it soon.

Superb new feature!! thank you very VERY Much SB ;)

SB,

I stayed away from this thread for a few days as I know you have an insane backlog of “little things” to resolve. Great progress in the last few days!

Excruciatingly well done!

Provided you have evolved beyond the need for sleep all BLF glitches should be resolved in 28 days, 06 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. :beer:

Confidentially, he has advised us that it will be finished by midnight tonight (US Eastern time & date) ;)

When you’re on a roll, it’s hard to stop.

Thank you sb!!

sb56637, thanks for all the work you put into this. Having just opened my forum to the public I know at a small level how much work is involved. Took me building my forum using 3 different forum apps before I found one that worked. Then having to go through and lock everything down and close all the security gaps (fingers crossed). Then…finding a nice level of registration that keeps bots and spam out while allowing real registrations in. Still working on that one. And I still have hardly any ‘real’ members…lol…most are fake accounts generated by me to at least get some content in there. Most of my threads are just me talking to myself. Got in a couple of arguments too.

Anyway, thanks for all the time, work, and $ invested so we can blow all our time, work, and $ on this hobby.

:smiley: I know how that goes!

sb, you put up with a heckuva lot around here, and we appreciate what you do. :)

I don't know how much BLF sponsors pay for advertising, but I hope it's a lot! :cash:
