What is going on with all those one-liner newslink posts (tovarichpeter and others) that have a cloud of mostly unrelated and irrelevant keywords below them? Apart from being an annoyance, it will make searching site:patrick.net difficult.
If someone posts a bare http link, my site attempts to extract some text from that page.
It does not work very well, mostly.
The sensorship buck stops with Patrick.
How Snowflakey can people be?
"You cannot comment here because the post author has banned you."Worst haiku ever!
I cannot take credit for the "worst haiku ever". HEY YOU wrote that. But yeah, it crossed my mind that what looked like a new "poetry mode" formatting perhaps was repeated attempts at dropping 3 lines of haiku.
Enjoy your vacation @Patrick, but just wanted to bring up one thing that has been bothering me.
On or around 2017-03-31, Patnet succumbed to the "today" disease, which is when online commenting system start to follow the fad that posts should be labelled "today 3:29pm" rather than "Jun 13, 3:29pm", or even better, "2017-06-13 15:29".
I often save my comments in a file, and since March 31, it seems that all of them are from "today", whenever that might have been. I don't know if you agree but I though I'd put it out there. There must be a setting for this somewhere.

If your posts aren't labelled 3:29 p.m. tomorrow, then you're an asshole!
I was going to displace the HTML I wrote in the post so as to cover the header produced by PatNet. Then you'd see one post header, not two. But PatNet had to filter out inline styling.
@Patrick, how about an "unfollow thread" feature that marks a thread unread by the user. Lots of time I read a thread, find it uninteresting and don't want to follow it, so I don't want the "new posts" icon to appear for it since that icon is most useful for continuing conversations that you are interested in.
Basically, let the user mark threads as unread like one does for email.
Thanks! Yes, some things are kinda abgefuckt, as they say in German, but that's the old php code.
The new version of the site is here:
Not yet finished, but very close. I hope that users who know Javascript will read the source and submit patches to make the site better:
end bold
At least another person is realizing just how much PHP sucks.
OK, up next, ignore feature.
The text inserted into the comment box reads "[username] says" where username is the name of the logged in user rather than the name of the user being quoted.
One more problem I'm having: since moving from php to node, certain characters are not displaying correctly. I don't understand why, since I am using <meta charset='utf-8' /> in the html just like before.
I've notice that when I've clicked on certain threads with the "new comment" link, the thread shows no new comments and the page is at the top of the thread. For example, the Funny Picture thread.
This means that if you post to a thread, you don't see your comments or anyone else's.
If it actually worked in Chrome on an android phone, that would be an improvement.
Patrick, it seems the Like:Dislike quotient is always one for one in the latest comments
@Patrick, there's a major bug or bugs with posting comments to some threads.
I've notice that when I've clicked on certain threads with the "new comment" link, the thread shows no new comments and the page is at the top of the thread. For example, the Funny Picture thread.
