On most of my machines I've adblocked the "INTP Central" headline graphic because it's so big. We don't need it, and who else does?

agreed, i never noticed it to be too big, but now that you mention it, it could be a tad smaller

Ok, change of mind. It isn't necessary. The logo should go.

I still think it should be there. I like to click on it to get back to the main forum (I know I can click on the link right below it in the forum category, but its a habit now).

But it could be smaller I guess.

Not that it's huge. It just takes up screen space. Look at it. ;) I actually have one screen at 1600 x 1200, and the banner is adblocked on that machine.

mmm, I just talked with someone.. it'll be changing.. probably not right this second.. it'll probably shrink down to a more friendly height then there will be a menu to the right of it that will 'integrate' with the main site... I think..

details are sort of listed here:

Are you talking about the new top console? Kickass. What about putting the link to the pic uploader on ther too?

I like it a lot, actually. And that "Viva la INTPCentral" thing that lasted like a minute was decent, I guess...

Now, if the links worked, we'd be in business.

Cool. Does the .. oh good lord. The uploader lets people upload php files! Hah! That is REALLY REALLY NOT GOOD.

Anyways, where is the uploader thing anyways?

edit: links should be fixed

(and the viva la intpcentral was just me screwing around)

How about a 'who's online' link up there too? There's room for it at my current resolution, and it would save me having to scroll to the bottom of the main page or type it into the location bar. :)

I don't wanna get into duplicating forum functionality -- just providing navigation for the main site.

I'm lost... lol. You're all buncha crazies.

Hey... there are now issues with trying to log on... if you put your name and password in the quick login box, and hit enter, it takes you the "thanks for logging in, hold on a sec" screen... normal... but from there it goes to the login for the webmail.
Hmm.
If you hit back a few times, to the screen that had the quick login, you're now logged in... but it's still odd, and I think it's related.

That is insanely weird.

Alright, that was easy. vBulletin sucks.

(the include file for the menu was polluting the namespace .. vbulletin should protect against that)

I guess we'll tell ya more bugs as we find em.

Good show, though. Very useful, much needed, and I'm angry I didn't think of it first.

Hm, I've wanted the menu like that for quite a while. I just didn't have the motivation/access to do it until now.

garak, I didn't write the PHP, I wrote the perl ;)

I'll reconfigure PHP to set a php_admin_flag engine off for the specified directoy, just as I would with wiki upload, I thought that had been done... *sighs*.

Don't mess with stuff in my sub-folders please, it'll be moved as soon as I get around to it, plus I have some somewhat weirdly code there that is a work in progress.

Yeah I figured that out and harassed file cabinet instead ;)

I made the upload script check both mime type and file extension -- people were uploading .php files that had gif headers followed by <?php and then code, and they worked. (thankfully none of them did anything malicious beyond javascript popups, but they could have)

And I'd keep out of the perl for my own sake anyways : P
