• Added a paragraph to the Registration Agreement so as I don't have to keep 'splaining to new members why their posts don't show up right off the bat:

Quote:

NOTE: As an anti-spam feature, your first three posts will be submitted for moderation, and will not be visible to the other members until approved. Non-spammers will be approved at our earliest opportunity (and spammers will be permanently banned). After three posts have been approved, you may post freely. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this protects our forum.

• Added new BBCode: "wrapimg" - makes your text "wrap" around an image.

Self-explanatory: select a link to an image and apply the BBCode.

Code:

[wrapimg]http://www.politijab.com/phpBB3/styles/prosilver_se/imageset/site_logo.gif[/wrapimg] (followed by the text of your choice)

It sometimes seems as though the “anti-birther” community is just as obsessed as the people it keeps an eye on. On Politijab.com, there’s an entire forum devoted to Taitz, complete with topics such as “Orly’s Facebook Page” and “How Long Until Orly’s Breakdown?” At YesToDemocracy.com, bloggers provide regular updates on the latest birther activities, with some choice digs at the “nitrous-huffing,” “cavity creep” that is Orly Taitz.

“It’s just fascinating,” says Bob Haggard, a frequent poster on Politijab’s Orly Taitz forum. “She runs around the country doing things that amount to absolutely nothing. She tells her followers that she ‘files’ all sorts of documents, but she never files anything. She drops stuff off.”

Patrick McKinnion of Yes to Democracy puts it a different way: “There’s a certain amount of fascination with unbridled insanity, and that’s what you’re seeing with the birthers: a level of hatred that borders, if not absolutely pole-vaults, into insanity.”

• added "mm" BBCode for embedding videos from Media Matters

When you watch a Media Matters video, there's a little tab at the bottom right that says "embed". If you click on it, you get a popup with some code.

Example:

<object width="320" height="260"><param name="movie" value="http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/mediaplayer316.swf"></param><param name="flashvars" value="config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg?flv=http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/video/2009/07/22/msnbc-20090722-pigmentation.flv"></param><embed src="http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/mediaplayer316.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg?flv=http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/video/2009/07/22/msnbc-20090722-pigmentation.flv" width="320" height="260"></embed></object>

The key URL is in bold, blue font. Strip the rest of that HTML crap away, leaving ONLY the link that ends in ".flv" and wrap it with "mm" BBCode tags:

Code:

[mm]http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/video/2009/07/22/msnbc-20090722-pigmentation.flv[/mm]

Enjoy the smilies... but do not abuse the smilies... or you will lose the smilies...

(There are numbers lower than five.....) :twisted:

• Removed the link to list and ranking of top phpBB3 forums.

• At the request of a member, added a timestamp to every page of the forum (bottom of the page, just above the phpBB credits). The timestamp reflects the time on YOUR computer that you accessed the page.

For the time being, I have removed images from being used in signatures at the end of posts. Thousands of posts ending in the same three or four pictures is not a wise use of the site's resources. My apologies to those who utilized them to this point. Avatars will have to suffice for now. Thank you.

New feature: A list of "similar topics" at the bottom of threads.

NOTE: So far, this only works if your board style is "prosilver". I'll try to add it to the other styles later.

Foggy · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2011 7:33 am

New feature: Ability to ignore topics.

To ignore a topic using the Prosilver board style, click the link at the bottom of the thread:

To ignore a topic using the subsilver2 board style, click the link at the top of the thread:

To ignore a topic using the Prosilver Special Edition style or Serenity Purple style, temporarily switch to one of the other two styles, ignore the thread, and then switch back to the style you like.

To remove the topic from your ignore list (IN CASE YOU CHANGE YOUR COTTON PICKIN' MIND):
1. Go to User Control Panel --> Usergroups --> Manage groups
2. Select the topic [check box on the right] and click "Remove marked ignore topics".

Added a new "yawning" smiley.

Foggy · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:23 pm

Well, dang.

Removed the new MOD, "Ignore topic". It messed up "view_unread" and the author of the mod didn't know how to fix.

Left the smiley for yawning, though.

Foggy · **Posted:** Sat Jan 28, 2012 5:26 pm

Added ballantine's blog, Natural Born Citizenship Research, to the links at the bottom of every page on the forum.
Changed the link to R.C. Radio Blog to comport with R.C.'s new blog site.
Changed "Our blogs" to be three rows of links instead of two (fits better).

New modification, "Page Titles". Now the page title is the thread title. Helpful for people who used tabbed browsing or multiple windows.

Foggy · **Posted:** Wed Mar 14, 2012 5:33 pm

New modification: image resizer (images larger than 640 x 480 px will be ruthlessly and automatically chopped to bits and shrunken in the machinery, but the viewer can click on the shrunken version to see it full size)

Here's a big pickle. Click on it to see it become a really big pickle:

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
