Usually, I am all in for new features and I am not particularly against spoiler tags either, my point is, if we are ever going to have new features here, let the more important ones be implemented first, for which there is an actual need.

Like...? Because I don't see new features quite often. Tongue

Most of the good features requested can't or won't be implemented in this current forum software (e.g 2FA).

Here are a few I could name from the top of my mind:

New additional ranks.
Badges for top 5-10 reporters.
Pretty much most of the stuff from this thread.

To be honest, flash is dangerous. I can create an .swf file, upload it on my web hosting and then post it in here. And yeah, it can do lot's of things with the cookies bitcointalk.org stores. So I would suggest to admins, to remove it.

Even without those things, I'm actually surprised how this forum stays secure with the dinosaur forum software.

Thank you for good laugh, you could also argue cash notes with old age coins, which I find to this day on treasure hunt days.

Dinosaur forum software but material used looks quite solid Tongue

You will have to ask NLNico that question. I just found his post but I don't know where he got all the BBCodes from.

Maybe his post is based on the source that nc50lc shared in his post below.

You mean ancient? Yeah it's too old but not unsecured. Not many things changed in php's and mysql's security since SMF 2006-2009 software.

Yup, dinosaur is also another way to express it Cheesy

Really? A simple Google search revealed loads of remote exploits on it. More than half a decade, surely alot of things have changed since then.

If you look down in the page you will see what programming languages the site uses. It says mysql, php, css, html.

Yeah html and css have changed too much in the last decade but I wouldn't say it for mysql and php.

That marquee is an ancient piece of tech. And I can see why embedding Flash isn't a good idea since it's pretty vulnerable and unsupported.

considering how .. err.. offensive some images are to some people a spoiler would be nice.

after all many here read with family and kids present.

please note i personally dont care about so called offensive images but it severely limits when i can read the forum depending on the people present.

If you're referring to embedded NSFW images, then that's not a problem since they are already banned here. Only links to NSFW content is allowed.

10. No embedded NSFW images anywhere. NSFW content must be marked accordingly.

errr have you not seen some images that were not marked accordingly?

perhaps its better now.. if so i withdraw my comment.

If the images benefit and compliment the thread I don't see why they would need to be hidden. I would like to see them without having to click on 4-5 buttons while reading the thread.
A better suggestion would be not to use too large images or too many. And even better then that would be to make it impossible to quote a previously posted image when a user replies to a post. It's so unnecessary.

and no im not some prude or one to censor things. just give warning please.

EDIT: there is a width setting in img tags, that will tame the huge images. IF people learn to use it.

I came across the above post accidentally and I remembered this thread of yours about spoiler tags. Thought it might be useful to mention it.

It might be a bit off-topic. This doesn't help with pictures but it is one type of spoiler tags that can be used, at least with text. I didn't know about this before so all credits go to NLNico.

I could easily see it being used by people to organize their big threads. It has this name but isn't used only for spoilers/hiding text. I see it in pretty much all major forums I frequent.

Instead of walls of text, you have a small introduction along with several blocks of collapsed "spoiler" areas/divs. You then click in the one you want, which gets un-collapsed, and you read it. Way better than a page long essay.

Also, can't see this being hard to implement. A simple css with a custom bb tag (to the html) would do it.

Usually, I am all in for new features and I am not particularly against spoiler tags either, my point is, if we are ever going to have new features here, let the more important ones be implemented first, for which there is an actual need. Spoiler tags can be added whenever, because like you said, they are comparatively more easier to implement.
