I want to kill the "discourse" YaBB. (Read 3379 times)

I want to kill the "discourse" YaBB.

With my bare hands. Repeatedly. "Why," you ask? Because I always check the "remember me" box, when I log in, but it does't. And because I click to reply to some post, and it makes me log in, and it forgets what I was trying to do, and puts me back on the front page of the forum, and I have to re-navigate to the post, and click the same stupid "reply" button. YaBB is written by IDIOTS WHO HATE THEIR USERS. There, I said it.

If you guys fork YaBB and put your fork on GitHub, I'll try to fix the things that bother me and send a pull request. Or you could ditch YaBB for google groups, yahoo groups, plain old usenet + GMane...

Any plan to upgrade to 2.3.1 This 1.4 version looks a bit old. Are there compatibility issue Lack of time Support of history

Personally, I am starting to be used to the wrinkles of this forum...

The most annoying thing is the lack of shortcuts for YaBBCode. I started to write a Greasemonkey to add Mark It Up! to the textareas... I should finish it someday and make it public.

Note I don't have the problem of Jonathan: most of the time, it remembers me. Since I refresh the main page before doing anything else, if I see all forums marked as read, I remember to log in... An annoyance is that you can't refresh the page after login (it sees that as another attempt to log in!), I have to remember to click on Discourse link first.

Reply #4 - Mar 15^th, 2009, 6:27pm To answer the question, it's been a combination of "time" with not realizing the older YaBB software was functioning so poorly. We're almost ready to move the discourse over to YaBB 2+, oh so close.

Actually, I kind of agree, although if the copy for discourse is more flexible, it can take your own color settings:
Quote:

/**
* setup() is called at start
*/
void setup()
{
  // size() must be the first call
  size(400, 400);
  smooth();
  color c = #BAB100;
  background(c);
  int fr = 24;
  String fn = "Foo.png";
  frameRate(fr);
  img = loadImage(fn);
}

And I don't know if GeSHi is available for YaBB... Unlikely: it is made for phpBB and it is written in PHP while YaBB is written in Perl!

Geshi is very simple to use within PHP. I have no idea how YABB works. It's true, it doesn't seems easy to use PHP within PERL.

Here is an implementation: http://anar.ch/examples/CYCLE22GridModulo.htm
For example, keywords used by our library points directly into the javadoc.

Someone else was asking this: http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/num_1221019140.html
