Yep, for the first time in a century the site has been updated.  Thanks to the new "openish" code and the new bug tracker we've fixed lots of outstanding bugs that have been plaguing the site for ages. The were no features in this release, it was purely to tidy up some rough edges and to get used to having the site in version control. HOWEVER...! Since the BBCode parser has been completely replaced with a much faster and much more extendible one, we do have a new feature - source code highlighting! It's one that has been long overdue as being needed. Simply define your language as the option in your code tags and you're away! PHP code: Python code: import sys class testing: def method(self): print "hello", "world" hiya = testing() hiya.method() DIV code: PROGRAM divprg; BEGIN look_its_div(); exit("lol", 0); END PROCESS look_its_div() BEGIN LOOP FRAME; END END The code highlighter is courtesy of GeSHi, we have support for every language listed on the site, just try it out.  There is currently no Fenix, but there is DIV (see above) so feel free to get the GeSHi code and make a new syntax definition based on this one. Thanks to Frimkron, Rince, Htbaa, Woody, Ecko and everyone else to helped push us to carry on with the site. Now it's your time!! (lmbo) Use the bug tracker to submit any feature requests or other bugs. [Edited on March 17, 2008 by Fiona] ____________ laffo |

Good job coders. And I like the new highlighting feature. Could the highlighting colors be made skin dependent? I don't know whether this was changed recently, but all new topics show to have "1 reply" when they have zero replies, it's pretty odd. Also I was wondering about issue 22 in the bug tracker ("Login cookie domain is hardcoded and when developing, the domain must be changed in the code to log in and out."), should the fix for this mean you can login on http://www.bs.ruilhandel.net? Because you can't. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

The one reply thing is by design. Basically the entire post counting stuff was broken totally, so we fixed it - It's just that we forgot to change the wording of the topic list. The cookie domain is set to .booleansoup.com, this means that you can log into http://booleansoup.com and your cookie will still be valid at http://www.booleansoup.com This was not the case previously. The GeSHi highlighting colours are embedded into the individual syntax files, so we can't really make them skin-independent. [edit] Sorry dead wrong about the reply numbers, it does work as expected, the fix just meant that the current numbers were a bit wrong, but do you see the button in the message board admin that says "Recount Posts - DO NOT TOUCH" well this is exactly the situation that it's for. I recounted the posts, everything is hunky dory. [Edited on February 5, 2008 by Fiona] ____________ laffo |

Regarding the Geshi colours, what I'll do is make the code boxes on all themes have a more white-ish background.

They are all single quote escape issues, it's probably easy to overlook while testing. They're in the bug tracker already, but I was just wondering how these problems were newly created. It's a bit sad because most actual comments have single quotes in them. Maybe it was the switch to PHP 5?

We made some changes to how magic quotes is dealt with, it will be that, it's possibly not the only problem relating to single quotes. Rest assured that the site is now doing as it should have done from the start, but there have been a couple of repercussions. That is, small isolated problems which once gone will never show up again.
