This thread is about features, bugs, upgrades etc

I had one user on Sickipedia complain the snow was really annoying. It automatically starts in December and ends on the 12th day of Christmas but if it gets on your moobs I've now added an option on the titlebar to turn it off - with a cookie to save the setting.

Still ironing out a lot of the code. I have just added a feature that makes your upvotes and downvotes glow when you're signed in so you can see at a glance what you have voted on. It's still buggy and I'm busy for a couple of days now so I better not try to fix it as the site will most likely start going 'INTERNAL SERVER ERROR' and not working so I'll finish that at a quiet time.

If you need to report anything broken; please email supergalley@hotmail.com if the messaging or forum isn't working. Apologies; because I've been changing code and restarting the server; it can cause issues with being signed in. As soon as I get it all working right I will leave it alone. Obviously I only had a couple of days to get the site built from scratch when I found out Sickipedia was closing so I just did the best that I can do. It should be a lightning fast site as it's written in Python/Flask to just do exactly what it does - so none of the laggy Wordpress bloating.

Today I added... medals! There's three medals (Gold, Silver, Bronze) and three spaces - Today, This Week and All Time.

I have rewritten the cookie policy to hopefully persist user logins past the session so we don't have to sign in again every time we come back to the browser. Do let me know if you experience any issues and I'll do my best to sort them out.

We now have 'Likes' reactions for Joke comments and Forum comments. Let me know if you like them or if you'd like an option to not see them in your login.

Would be useful . . . Word search, category search. I'd just like to comment on how slick your site is on uploads, graphics file instantaneous as opposed to Sicki site's prevarication / fails.

Thankyou! It's just literally written in barebones code with Python/Flask as the lightweight engine so there's extremely low bloat. I've also wired it so images are cropped to a sensible size and quality as I noticed there was images in the region of megabytes being uploaded at the beginning. Now all images are 24kb-445kb but generally 200kb ish so they load really quick. You can already list all jokes in a category by having (Last 24h, This Week, This Month, All Time) selected and click on the category name button. I'm just working on the Search page right now. Apologies for the delay, I will add a glow to the Forum button where there's unread threads as you don't notice them at the moment. Standby...

Try it now. Hopefully all working. I've updated the Forum code so it notifies the user if there's any threads or comments they have not yet read.

Just added a new 'Clips' section. Upload any clip up to 60 seconds long and it gets compressed into MP4 by ffmpeg for best universal compatibility. Will have to see if the server can cope with video. Should be fine as long as there's not loads of users all watching at the same time. Enjoy 😉

Thanks for adding the clips section, I don't seem to be able to upload anything bigger than 2MB though. My internet connection is pretty slow if that impacts it.

No problem. I've bumped it up to 50mb max. It may take a little while and look like it's hung after pressing Submit. I've worked in some .gif magic now so they should be working 🖖🏻

I'm not sure file size is the issue, it spends about 20 seconds trying to upload it then says "Internal Server Error" so maybe it times out? Also check the last gif I uploaded it, got weirdly corrupted.

OK, I have completely redesigned the meme and clip upload features. How it works now: 1. When submitted, the image or video clip is uploaded to a new TUS-D server which allows resume and supports very slow transfers that would otherwise make the main website server go 'BAD GATEWAY' 2. After completion and CRC check the TUS-D server notifies the processor server it has an image or clip ready. This server then compresses larger images/videos to a reasonable filesize 3. The processor server then sends the processed image/clip to the main website server to be added under the correct username This should in theory be extremely robust but please do let me know if anything doesn't work correctly.

I've made the 'Last 24h','This Week','This Month','All Time' combo-box sticky during the current session. The logic on this combo-box is to check if there is less than 10 jokes 'today' and if so to change to 'This Week'. It also does that down to 'This Month' and 'All Time' so you should always have more than ten jokes/memes/clips to look at. I set it so that closing the browser and starting an new session goes back to the original auto-set state, otherwise it now remembers your choice and you can tell it's done this because it gets a green glow.

Why does 'Moderator' flash in red all the time? I can't click on it or anything.

It means you're a Moderator. It gives you access to Quarantine other users' jokes and give dodgy users a 24h ban. I made the five highest scoring users Moderators
