Start listing ideas on what you would like to see on Dee-Nee 2.0, due out anytime this century. What features on other boards should we incorporate here. I'll start:
1) Embedding Videos (YouTube et al)
2) Ignore poster feature
What else? Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
A separate board for cutesy animal related threads. That shit is discussed more than RBI or MMA, and they have their own boards.
That thing in the girly man theme where huge pictures are handled by scroll bars, it'd be nice to have that feature while using non-queer themes.
Kool Aid in all the water fountains!
maybe enable sounds in a separate sound board, or lable threads that contain sound with a certain icon. although, that may rule out some people at work. but it may still be a good idea.
i'll have to try to think of more, but i'm sick right now, it's tough to ruminate on this at the moment.
Make is so that oversized pictures and incredibly long words don't have the potential to ruin threads by forcing you to scroll to read other people's posts.

Under Dee-Nee 2.0, your post won't be a problem.
Because I'll use the "ignore poster" feature against you.

Nice sleuthing nomaaa...
i'm a regular hardy boy
way to let him have it
We also need a box you can check to label a thread that you didn't start "NSFW."
That is a pretty neat idea, though I'm certainly not going to write it...
I've mentioned this idea before, which is probably why you don't want to bother with it.
:'(
Writing mods ain't for me, they would either be done by nightwulf or something out there already. It's a fabulous idea though, I think if it was written other folks would use it. Brush up on your PHP
before the bnat/darky revolution, i was going to suggest to somehow give out "pow"s (sorta like diggs in blogs) for people's posts by clicking a link or something
Because typing the letters p-o-w in between two colons is such an onerous task?

I like this ignore feature...I plan to use it during football season in the NFL thread. Total waste of space and my time with some of the dipshits who post verbatim thoughts from whatever website they need to go to get shit figured out or simply share their stupid observations...not you BDawk, but a few others, particularly a Chiefs fan and a Colts fan...and a cricket fan...
There's a cricket fan on here who reads NFL sites all day?
It's not me, and I doubt it's Lara.
I'd like some examples, please, as I want to shake this person's hand.
i want a dancing bear to deliver me donuts every morning. i want to be able to dance if i want to. and finally i want you to put an end to michael bay. can these be part of dee nee 2.0?
i am also wondering why i just got called a dipshit on the news board? so fucking annoying.
What if Gantry types in the code wrong by misplacing the decimal point, and we end up getting Dee-Nee 20. instead of Dee-Nee 2.0? And we just aren't ready for it, because this is 2009 and Dee-Nee 20.0 probably won't be around until after most of us are dead? That could be disastrous... with sexy consequences?

Can we get a lolcat board?

only if you can randomly post them in other boards and them not get moved. because the random lolcat is the best.
This brings up another real suggestion... could we ignore an entire board? Just have it not even show up for us?
I don't need to see P&R or MMA, and I certainly wouldn't need to see the lolcat board.
If that's not possible, maybe a way for users to create custom orders for the boards?
I don't know what kind of technological limitations we're looking at...
I'd like to have a board dedicated to pics and videos of Re-peat smearing shit on himself. Is that doable?
I've got a few hard drives worth of shit smearing related media... Gantry, how much space do we have available to make this happen?
We'll have twice the space of the current board, do take the current shit output & double it.
it would be rad if you could somehow add a photo through a webcam or something on a post a la facebook. they have the feature on there, but i would actually use it here (what i'm currently drinking thread, what's for dinner, cock gain since high school, etc.)

The ability to have threads read to us by computerized voices. I laughed so hard listening to this...
I missed yesterday's shitstorm and I feel a little left out...
When I go back to read the threads in question so much material has been deleted that it's kinda hard to get a handle on how shit went down.
Can we get rid of the option to delete a post/thread? If someone still feels the need to recant they could still do an edit and just delete all of the text, but there'd still at least be a placeholder to show that a post had in fact been made.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
If we could just ignore user this place would never have an issue.

With the whole shitstorm thing from the last few days, I found this to be comical.
Is this ignore feature really going to happen with this urban legend dee nee 2.0? I'm all for it.
How long has Dee-Nee 2.0 been in the works?
Depends what you mean by "in the works" - nightwulf and myself actually spent a decent amount of time on it, mostly updating the main site to use better CSS and be driven by perl instead of static HTML.
The biggest issue is that the software the is used to run the forum (SMF) has been beta testing version 2.0 for literally YEARS. It was close to being out a year ago minimum, but is still in beta status. We got tired of waiting and lost all our momentum.
I think embedding videos and an ignore feature (maybe one I force enable for certain people) would be hallmarks of forum version 2.

Can you convert an MVP 2005 .sav file (PC) to a .max file(PS2) for me?
If there ain't a free tool to do this already, then I'm worthless. Then again if there was one you would have found it by now - so I'm even more worthless...
i want more posts
If I had the time to do some research regarding SMF plugins, I'd do so, but if the forum software is old, that might be kind of difficult to find documentation on it. We shall see if I ever find some time to do this in the upcoming months...some of the features in this thread are cool.
Instead of digg up/down, you could give someone a pow or a nut punch or something. That'd be fantastic.
Of course, this would all be out of charity, considering I don't use the non-RBI part of this site as much (I can't keep up with you people when I'm at work).
But, don't get your hopes up, my time just decreased exponentially with the past few day's events.
a personal sticky button. that way the threads i really care about stay at the top.

read the syllabus
There was an tiny PC that is somewhat modern (6th i5 processor, 16GB of RAM) here not being used, so I have installed Windows Server 2022 as a Hyper-V host and setup a VM for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0. It boots, I can login and get on the interwebs.
So we have a computer and the base software ready for Dee-Nee 2.0 - things may actually happen before the end of the year. Of course upgrading and moving the existing sites and especially forums are 100x the work of what I did today, but we have a start.
Figure I would do a running tab yall don't care about,as it keeps me engaged and my goal is to do a little work every day (or maybe 5 days a week) so the whole task isn't so daunting.
Step 1 is to migrate my Chicago Punk Wiki (http://punkdatabase.com) as it'll be WAY easier than the forums and let me build the groundwork in getting the web and database servers running. Yesterday I got the actual wiki working on the current dee-nee server as it was down for fkn months, though it was a weird ssl certificate issue and it turns out I just fucked up a DNS record. 10 seconds of work fixed months of downtime, christ guy.
The plan is to migrate the wiki to the new hardware running the same outdated version of Mediawiki that it's currently running. It's outdated because the current server has a version of PHP that is too old for newer versions. Plus they recommend migrating to a new server running the same version, then upgrade after migration. So I was able to make a backup of the database and get it on the new server. Also downloaded the base mediwiki software so that forced me to install tar & wget - I did a minimal install of Linux on the new server. THE END for yesterday
Today's goal is just to get the web server (apache) running and displaying the default "welcome to apache" page from another computer. Should be easy but involves likely some tweaking and screwing with the firewall. If it's super quick, I'll do the same with getting the SQL server (mysql) running as well.

This is done, web and database server are running and the firewall lets them through. I was bit over-optimistic with the "every day" thing, should have known better.
Next goal is to get the database for my Chicago Punk Wiki off the current server and into the new server database. Starting that today, Friday a realistic goal to be done in case something comes up...

Chicagopunk database imported into the new server with the proper security for the db admin. Next step is to copy over the wiki files and XML schema, goal for that will remain Friday.
I want a soft serve machine.
Can 2.0 have one of those?
yes
Cool man. Cant wait for a twist cone.
Whoa whoa whoa, only one flavor - black licorice

That's based on the 2.1 version of SMF - it's a pretty big upgrade so maybe they'll have it. Can't say for sure though as I haven't used it yet. Forums will be the very last thing in the pipe so don't expect anytime soon.
Here's the basic order:
1) Chicago Punk Wiki
2) RBI Central
3) Any other random sites I have hosted here and forgot about (I know rbibaseball.com for sure)
4) Dee-Nee and RBI Wiki
5) Forums
The wild card is nightwulf's RBI editor, he'll likely have to update that himself if I move it. It was all written in perl IIRC and I would have zero idea how to make it work if we hit snags. The chances of just copying the files and having it work are about 0.000001%
The Chicago Punk Wiki is running on the new server, Booyah! It doesn't have an SSL cert yet and I can't seem to login though I have a feeling I don't have my login documented properly.

Is it though?
BIG NEWS
I got a MicroTik router from my brother today that he wasn't using, so I officially move our first site moved to the new server:
http://punkdatabase.com
I needed another router so it could run on a new IP address, it's all working. Next two sites are the RBI Wiki and RBI Central, hope to get one or both working before I head back to Ohio before New Years. yay
OK a slow work day has let me finish the transfer of the RBI wiki to the new server:
http://wiki.dee-nee.com/
No SSL cert yet, but not that it really needs one.
Quote from: Gantry on 12/26/22, 01:47:57 PM

Done
Took me hundreds of hours to make the site, but I was able to dee-nee.com working on new the server in about 10 minutes.
http://dee-nee.com is now live on Dee-Nee 2.0, tell your friends and stuff
Is there soft serve?
Yep, I got the PO approved and we now have black licorice soft serve!
WE DID IT GUYS
I just moved over all the RBI Central sites over as well. Not that anyone went to them...
The big one is nightwulf's site, I'm going to fuck with it now but I have a feeling it'll be quite the battle.
Guys and gals, it didn't work
Well, I made some progress with tweaking the web server configuration to run his scripts, but I'm at the point where there's errors in his programs themselves in the logs. At this point I'm not touching his code so it would be something he'll have to fix if he chooses to.
We'll punt this one as the old server isn't going anywhere for awhile.
So now we have three systems running left on the old server:
1) Nightwulf's RBI Editor - he'll have to fix
2) The forums (ugh)
3) rbibaseball.com - it's likely an easy transition but I have to contact the owner of that site and give him access and have him test.
I wanted twist cones, man.
For the forums, I guess the big question is do I simply migrate it to the new server on the current version of SMF or do I move it over and upgrade to SMF the 2.1 version. On paper it makes sense to move and upgrade but that likely is a bunch more work.
upgrade is prolly the best way to go, it hasn't been an issue and maybe never will but an additional benefit of upgrading besides the obvious is that vulnerabilities are addressed. That said I don't have to do any work so it's easy for me to say
That's the thing though - the version we currently run of SMF (2.0) is still supported and fixes vulnerabilities. I'm getting off the old server because of the out of date version of Red Hat Linux, apache web server, php language SMF uses, mysql database server etc. Those are the ticking time bomb security issues being fixed by the server migration, the forum software as of now is in the clear. You are right about upgrading SMF to 2.1 being the best way to go, all a matter of how much time it will take and pain tolerance for me.
Really everything has been easier than anticipated though, especially since I have forgotten most of my Linux/apache/mysql admin skillset. Maybe the forum will be more of the same
BREAKING - I am going to start a test migration of the forums tonight. I may have a test URL going in a day or two if I stick to it and don't run into any show stoppers.
How bout that soft serve machine?
That's Dee-Nee 2.1
Well it didn't work, something related to a fucking flash bbcode won't run on php 8.0 that is on the new server. So I have to install a mod on the current server to disable that thingy (it wouldn't install on the new) and copy all the files over again.
I'm going to try again tomorrow, as I prefer to make a backup of the current server before I install that mod just in case. So I'll shut down the server and back it up at 6am tomorrow, install the mod and if successful try all this again tomorrow night.
STAY TUNED
The mod to (hopefully) fix it on the new server installed find on the old - round2 about to begin after importing the mysql database, omg
Did you check the Johnson rod?
No dice, same error
OK I'm removing a bunch of REALLY old mods, some may not be compatible with the new version of PHP. Quite frankly it's easier to remove them and ask questions later - so if something isn't working let me know.

:thumbsup:
I'm starting to modify files on this here version as well, as that's less work for me when we do the final move. Post any weirdness in this thread.
Basically we did so much hand editing of the main forum files and installed so many old mods that some of the main forum files didn't get fully updated to the latest versions. Some of these updates were specifically to make the forums work with PHP 8.0 so anything that didn't get updated I have to manually copy and paste in from the latest version of the source code.
It'll be bumpy ladies and gentlemen, but we'll get through it.
Just found a comment in one of the files with the old/bad function in it. The comment said "Delete below on 9/2014 GZ"
whoops
OK backing up the forum files and we'll try round 3 - this works I'll setup a test URL for people to see if they can break it.
It was mostly working last time, things like editing profiles broke but I would see the topics and post. So we're getting there.
IT FUCKING WORKS
GZ? Who's GZ? They sound mysterious...
OK people go test it:

I can't hear the fart noises from Kane's gif. I thought that was going to be a new feature.
Hell, I scratched the screen and came back with a disappointed sniff..
Fuck it, I'm migrating it tomorrow. Forums may be down 5:30am-6:30am or so, after that it'll probably run like shit since it was barely tested.
Coulier and I did all we could.
OK I have everything prepped, nobody get up early besides me. Or go read a paper or something. ty

This is going better than I thought, probably should have done a few years earlier.

WHAT IS HAPPENING
I don't much care for this new layout.
CHANGE IT BACK NOW!!!!!

I had no idea they'd take the old theme away, doesn't look like someone made one for 2.1. If there's a theme you'd like here let me know and I'll install:
https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=themes
Assuming it's a 2.1 theme, 2.0 themes no longer work.
Can we replace Gantry with some sort of AI that doesn't fuck things up?
This is like New Coke.
It's just a hideous 20 year old theme you old fucks, get over it. New Coke is delicious!
Outside of Tempo's text only page (which isn't looking like I can fix, sorry buddy) - any other issues?
I'm on team #oldDeeNee. Gantry's attempt to drag us into the 2020s will be met with resistance and derision.
Not seeing aviators here
I love it. Cowards.
Quote from: Gerlost on 04/01/23, 03:35:36 PMNot seeing aviators here
For no posters?
Is anyone else not seeing them? I see all of them
I don't see them either.
I see them, but I'm on PC. It looks from Kane's screenshot like there's an actual mobile version of the page, and maybe that doesn't have aviators by default?
What the hell? The quotes under Kane's post are enormous!
Some googling says they removed avatars on mobile, I'll see if there's an option to restore or a different theme that does.
God speed
I know we all piss and moan, but its pretty awesome what Gantry does to keep this site going for its last remaining 12 members.
Does that make us Gantry's apostles?

You can highlight a piece of something and an option for "quote selected text" comes up, that is handy.

Gantry works for us apparently. He's our employee.
This is not necessarily a "problem", just a weird thing I noticed: Custom levels (BDawk's "Not Funny", Nacho's "Loaf of Brandis", etc.) show up above the aviator, while the default ones show up below the squares underneath it. Also, for some reason Nacho and Zorba's levels are boldfaced while BDawk and bonny's are not (the default ones are also not bold).
Definitely some issues/glitches with the default theme - I would like quotes (and quotes in signatures) to be smaller for sure. That said I don't really want to delve into theme customization at this point, basically don't care enough to take the time to learn as nothing is outrageously bad.
I linked the themes URL above so if anyone wants me to add another one, holler. That said SMF isn't as popular as it used to be so while there's definitely some different options, there aren't hundreds to choose from or anything. The 2.1 theme setup was from scratch, so old themes not being available sucks.
it's fine
Doesn't seem to be a way to actually attach files otherwise yeah, it's fine, it's more than fine.
Click reply (can't use quick reply)
Click on Attachments and other options
Click Add files or drag a file to that area
Once you do that you have to click the upload button, that's likely the step you missed.
Thank you, sir.
Sure thing, I definitely fucked it up at first - new upload button is weird but easy to get used to.
The best part about the forum upgrade is the proximity of the thread topic to the author name on the main page. Thus when I view the forum it reads "Sandwiches by Gantry" which I imagine is a new deli on Kings Island.
I just installed a mod that puts an "Add Files" button in the quick reply for attachments, testing it here.
Edit - removed attachment after testing
IT WORKS
Removed that SMF logo in the upper right.
If there are any other look and feel thingies you think should be adjusted, let me know. Editing the theme isn't as bad as I thought, so tweaks shouldn't be too hard.
So I really shouldn't do this during a "busy time" but I'm going to switch the IP this here website runs on. DNS TTL is only 5 minutes so things shouldn't be down long.
NEVER do this shit at home, it's really dumb.
Well it's working, but I broke my access from home. This AT&T router probably can't do hairpin NAT, fkn great
FAIL, back on the old IP
Testing new user registration - emails sending. CAPTCHA was fucked
No idea what was up with the Captcha, just showed the wrong letters. But now those 3 people a year who sign up should be able to!
I'm going to move the forums to a different IP again, this copy I have to move the VM file. So assume we'll be down 8:30-9, ty
OK we are back to running on my workstation at my house, that was unexpected but whatevs. Any issues let me know
Also, it's not going to be the same to announce downtime without Reds replying "no fucking way"
Someone post something, I see people online but always makes me nervous after making a change and no new posts since then. ty
Going to NYC on Wednesday this week through Sunday.
Going to Chicago with the whole family at the end of the month.

I'll be on KI, but I recommend the Malorts
Well, I won't be anywhere near Wheeling or Buffalo Grove or Lake Zurich or any of those ridiculous places.

Little known-fact: Malort can be found in the city. Just walk into any bar, order it, wait to respond to everyone around you to ask "you actually like that stuff?", enjoy. It's that simple!
Have to say, I like the new format and handy editing and adding attachments of the new setup. You can press Alt+S to post if you didn't know - now it works in places before when it didn't, like when you quick edit a post. Works everywhere I can see now
Dee-Nee 2.0 is the truth.

I just realized you can hit Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for underline etc from the quick reply and that stuff shows up instantly. Will be hard to change all those years of muscle memory manually typing out the brackets and what not to bold stuff.
Apparently at some point, I had my Skype info on here. I haven't used it in over ten years. I tried to delete it, but it kept resetting with my info. I changed it to a period, but now it shows up on my profile like some weirdo that still uses Skype in 2023. How can I delete it entirely?
I see it as blank, maybe there's something I'm not seeing as I'm an admin. Where are you seeing Skype info?
This is what I see. Previously I was seeing a Skype logo appear next to my posts but this seems to be gone now. As long as that's the case, I'm good.who uses skype or throws a shoe, honestly.PNG

Search function kinda sucks now
Quote from: Shooty on 04/28/23, 01:38:46 PMSearch function kinda sucks now
Agreed. It made me wanting to see Kenny G the second most embarrassing thing about the Kenny G conversation from a few days ago.
Don't disagree, using searches with double quotes may help the situation. I think we have to build up the search index again so it hopefully *should* get better over time. I could also be full of shit, but one of the things I had to do in the upgrade was purge the search database/index.
What about the Search for Search function?
GOOD QUESTION
Why am I having trouble uploading a picture. It only gets part may then no more progress. I tries on my laptop and phone. No worky.
Are you dragging the picture to the area and clicking upload on your laptop?
Figured it out. I wasn't hitting upload before I posted. An added step compared to Dee-Nee classic.

Anyone here still play RBI? Been following dee-nee for years. Just broke out the ol NES a few days ago and it's just like riding a bike !
Been far too long for me. Overdue.
Get your ass to Omaha! There's a big tournament on the 12th: https://www.facebook.com/events/994508511958378
This is where I very shamefully admit I have to miss it this year due to a family trip that couldn't be rescheduled, but it's an absolute blast with some great folks there (it's hosted by forum member TBT).
Other than the Omaha trip, I don't get a ton of RBI in but manage a few games with my son and an old college buddy every year.

I only see it once.
Yep, I think the new version of the embed package fixed a few of the glitches - the one above was to test x.com URLs over twitter ones .
Fixed just in time for twitter to go defunct
We can only hope.
I'll allow it

Just like the 1 tweet Dov....
Anyone else noticing sluggishness the last few days? Just had a post time out twice and I've noticed the "jump to" section being very slow to use.
Maybe it's my internet here but just seeing if anyone else has had issues with waiting for shit to load.
No loading issues here, unless you mean loading useful search results... :pissed:
Sometimes it partially hangs but recovers when clicking around but not today shrug
I'm going to try to tweak the search settings - full disclosure I don't know what I'm doing.
OK doing fulltext search, the index seems too small though. It timed out, maybe it stopped in the middle.
I did two searches and they were good, I'm guessing better but still shitty.
Posting tests, ignore

It has probably been 2-3 years and closer to a decade since I've played a competitive opponent.

I have some big news....
Dee-Nee.com and the forums will be moving to lovely Kelleys Island Ohio during the last week of March.
AT&T called me and said my non-fiber Internet connection is going away at the end of this month in Chicago. Since they don't have a fiber option for an easy transition and moving to Comcast business would be a total PITA, it's time to get it out of there and let that business line die.
At this point keeping it in Chicago doesn't make much sense anyway as I'm never there. I just got a static IP and have a nice speedy 500megabit connection there, plus I can physically be there if need be.
Since I have to physically move the server there expect a day of downtime. Don't worry, I'll give you at least 6-7 minutes of heads up.

If the server goes down between November and March, at least it's a short Cessna flight away.

UPDATE - I have to take the router to a UPS store on Thursday afternoon before leaving for Ohio, so the forums will be down after lunch on Thursday until some time Friday afternoon/evening. Make alternate plans for entertainment, ty
QuoteAT&T called me and said my non-fiber Internet connection is going away at the end of this month in Chicago
Wtf. Similarly, my cable provider e-mailed me and said my unencrypted ClearQAM TV is going away some time in April. But if I'd like to continue my "local only" TV, they're happy to sell me a box for each TV at $10/box/month.
I bought an antenna. Works fine for my needs. I feel old. But looking at my last bill somehow "local only" cable TV got to be $66/mo. Why tf was I paying that to watch CBS Mornings and Judge Judy reruns?
Judge Judy has a 24/7 Amazon channel btw
REMINDER - Forums are going down around 2pm for like 24 hours, gotta return that router today.
They should call it an OUTer because we're gonna be OUT of service!
Going down at 1:45 forum time
NINE FUCKING MINUTES
Back!
We did it!
:thumbsup:
Anyone noticing speed issues or things loading slower? I'm not sure if it's because I'm internal and access the forums via a different method. If things are pokey let me know...
Quote from: Gantry on 03/31/24, 10:58:39 PMaccess the forums via a different method
what is this wizardry!?
Not that exciting, I get to Dee-Nee by it's "inside" IP address and yall use its "outside" one. I suspect my router is causing the delay or the web server is slightly confused, though technologically it should be dead simple.
But every time I tested from the outside it appeared faster.
SO ANSWER THE QUESTION, ARE THINGS SLOWER THAN LAST WEEK?
If anything. it seems faster
The Internet connection is faster as is the server it runs on, so that makes sense.
