Re: [RFC|Merged] Breadcrumb microdata

There is a new standard for microdata: http://schema.org/docs/gs.html

This RFC is Google-specific; the new standard is supported by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex.

Re: Avatar serverside resize

Why TF I need to turn on js in that website to see anything?!?! Browsing like it's 1995 is your prerogative...just like requiring people to not disable a basic browser function is my prerogative. Sorry, but if you want to view "that website", you'll need to enable javascript. I recently e...

Re: Avatar serverside resize

Here's what you need: http://forum.dion-designs.com/viewtopic ... 4&sp=13122

The procedure modifies the phpBB function that creates thumbnails to also resize uploaded avatars. You're more than welcome to use it.

Re: [RFC] stop distributing worthless CAPTCHAS in 3.1

Are you familiar with the online reservation service called OpenTable? Six years ago, they were sued on ADA grounds because a disabled individual was not able to register. It was settled out of court, and their registration page was completely rewritten. Was it a frivolous suit? Don't know, don't ca...

Re: [RFC] stop distributing worthless CAPTCHAS in 3.1

Just thought I would share this link... It's a different way of defeating bots (using games): http://areyouahuman.com If one's site is in the United States, use of this CAPTCHA requires a fallback registration option (Admin-approval, COPPA-style, whatever).

Re: "Subscribe" link is hard to find

An alternative: a tools menu, like in other boards: I do this on all my boards and call it "Page Options", because the menu contents will change depending on the page. You can also add "Delete Board Cookies" and all the "View Posts/Topics" links to the menu as well. Ta...

Re: Friends/Foes

The "friends" portion of this doesn't really do much of anything anyways as others have pointed out. That's because the friend "feature" was apparently implemented as an afterthought. Go to UCP Board Preferences, Global Settings. There are three options which would be perfect fo...

[RFC|Merged] Last topic title in forum list

Which is another reason why "Re: " should not be used as it adds 4 extra characters. Well, then get rid of it! ;) Find this code in includes/functions_display.php : $last_post_subject = $row['forum_last_post_subject']; $last_post_time = $user->format_date($row['forum_last_post_time']); $l...
