Forum Overview :: Site Comments :: Fucking with complete, sir. Response: included

[quote name="Bitter"]Hey, it's my wussy goddamn machine on my wussy goddamn DSL connection, and I will craft my Microsoft-like bloaty software if I wanna, so nyah! If I knew Javascript or some shit, I guess it would be possible to pull down pseudonyms and thread titles only if the user wanted to search on them, but I don't. Also good would be to pull titles/pseudonyms by forum when that's desired. I can achieve the same result, but not dynamically (at least not that I know): the user would have to go through many search pages. That's kind of a pain-in-the-ass, especially when I have to remember any parameters they've entered across several pages. Some of you guys do web stuff professionally, yes? Are there suggestions? Can PHP do this stuff? Anyhoo, I spent the last couple of hours making a couple of changes that should increase the love slightly. <ul> <li>Rejiggered the formatting of results. Better, I 'spose. <li>Now, when any results are retrieved, you are given the option of retrieving the entire thread where-in the results were returned. I figured that was probably the most desirable feature. <li>Oh, maybe a few sub-surfacey things, I forget. Code's a little nicer, anyway. </ul> <a href="http://66.93.162.103/perl/search.pl">Go</a> Coming at some point in the near future, maybe: formatting the text of the posts better. I haven't looked into this in detail, but I think <strong>pointy</strong> honors newlines and stuff, which I do not. Probably not more than five minutes of work (if that) once I feel enthused. What else might be interesting? I'm thinking about doing an "everything by this author" kinda deal: we need more ruthless netstalking and also the throwing of posts from the distant past into people's faces. Bitter. And really, otherwise I'm just serving peer-to-peer porn and running Folding@Home, so it's not like the box is busy.[/quote]
