To-do List

[Bob Schroeck]

I'm creating this thread so I don't forget things I need to do for the boards.  Feel free to suggest things I should add.

---

• Upgrade forum software
  
• Install queued-up plug-ins.
  
• Figure out how to change the "start date" for the forums.
  
• Complete restoring as many "Guest" postings to their original posters' names as is reasonably possible.
  
• Fix forum stats panel.
  
• Find CSS controlling SanFelix page buttons and fix contrast.
  
• Find and delete spammer threads that were locked and hidden and forgotten on original boards.
  
• Restore recovered images from old board where possible.
  
• Restore mod privileges to those who had them on the old board and still want/need them here.
  
• Investigate thing where replying twice to a thread in rapid succession results in the second reply appended to the first.
  
• Change the font color on thread paging buttons again -- and note where it is against future need.
  
• Apply found fix for video embed breakage.
  
• Investigate CAPTCHA problem reported by Ebony (on both password reset and "Contact us" feature)
  
• Change the encoding of the message column in mybb_post to utf8mb4. (Attempted, got server error; may not try again.)
  
• Recreate top-of-forums "headlines" for chapter byte counts 'n' stuff
  
• Figure out and fix markup weirdness on file attachments to posts.
  • Figure out how to make announcements theme-sensitive.
• Find out how to display subject lines on individual posts.  They're in the db, why aren't they on the pages?
  • Refine style/positioning of subject lines.
    
  • Make conditional if blank or simple "Re:topic". (Is that even possible?)
    
  • Port changes to other themes once I'm satisfied.
• Figure out how to hack the statistics table so messages are tallied by their original date-of-posting instead of the date they got added to the new forums.
  • Write SQL to extract dates from posts and threads to generate new historical records for stats table; also need code to clean up entries made by import in August '17.
    
  • Import original registration data from scrape info and apply to users' records.
• Create double-wide green-n-white logo, possibly with a nice image.  Create counterparts for other themes.
  
• Fix the Simple theme (or have creator fix it) per user complaints.
  
• Fix inline moderation issues with themes other than the default.
  
• Find solution for nonfunctional multiquote.
  
• Fix internal links to threads and posts.
  
• Fix time offset on posts from Yuku/Crapatalk.
  
• Create a document listing the location and specifics of all manual customizations made to board layout/styling.
  
• HTTPS/SSL
  
• Implement table markup plug-in
