  @Jaloopa Yeah, there are some fun bits in it (nazi zombies!) and it certainly has some value as the basis for a lot of things that crops up in popular culture here and there, and therefore as an "historical" work. But as a pure literature work, it's way past its sell-by date.

  @Maciejasjmj Have you tried not being a miserable cunt and how that would affect my funniness? Sometimes I can be in a bad mood and find some stuff funny that I would do in a good mood and vice versa. Anyway I finally trolled @Rhywden I really didn't know the music video thing would get to him. The funniest thing is that if you want to ignore it you have to do exactly nothing.

  Ensure JQueryUI is loaded. by boomzillawtf · Pull Request #2 · NedFodder/nodebb-plugin-tdwtf-articles The ACP interface wasn't working because NodeBB (now?) requires the plugin's code to ensure that JQueryUI is loaded via a call to app.loadJQueryUI(). Fixes Issue #1 Of course, I forgot to mention the issue number.

  $("h2[component='topic/header'] > a").each(function(idx, el) { var lastReadArr = $(el).attr('href').split('/'); var lastRead = lastReadArr[lastReadArr.length - 1]; var total = $(el).closest("li").children("div:eq(2)").children("span").attr("title"); var delta = total - lastRead; if (delta != 0) { $(el).append("<span style='background-color:#bbbbbb'>" + delta + "</span>"); } }); Haven't figured out how to make it trigger on infinniscroll, and that append should probably check whether a span was added there already, but the general concept seems possible client-side.

So far, the update script has only run once. But if the Docker container gets restarted before the next update, it'll be 503-ing until it finishes that script.

  @ben_lubar said in Forum guidelines: @anotherusername said in Forum guidelines: One of those oneboxes; the other does not. Guess which. As the Markdown spec says: The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements — e.g. <div>, <table>, <pre>, <p>, etc. — must be separated from surrounding content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the block should not be indented with tabs or spaces. Markdown is smart enough not to add extra (unwanted) <p> tags around HTML block-level tags. Just because it's stupid, doesn't make it right. ... Wait....

  @TDWTF-NodeBB-Development @izzion said in Mafia IX - The Fifth Circle: OOC: dammit, I'm totally going to offer a bounty if someone can implement "filter posts in a thread by user" - it's so much harder to catch up when you've half-read the thread at work and are now composing responses I hereby offer a box of Thin Mints (or a similar mutually acceptable option) as bounty for implementation of a filter posts by user option. My thinking is either: it would work similarly to the DiscoUserCard feature - either some sort of pop up on the user avatar that gives you options to filter or interact with their profile or add a  action icon underneath the user avatar.
