>>9702 >I'll consider raising it a little bit but I'm going to experiment first to see if there's a good threshold. I admit I picked 8MB arbitrarily just because thats what old 8ch had. Thanks for considering it Acid.
>>9702 Would you consider some of the posts in the Orange Box thread for future updates? We're still not on feature parity with 8chan prime.
>>9702 >>9671 Answer me plz.
>>9705 Its being replaced with an upgrade. Try https://8chan.redchannit.xyz

There are soyjaks plotting another raid on 8moe. https://soyjak.party/soy/thread/8655330.html Heads up.
>>9707 Did they get tricked by LCP again?
>>9698 I was just coming here to complain about the lack of proper error message. I kept getting some generic message and tried a bunch of different things that didn't work until the only thing left was trying to debug the issue and then I saw the actual reason in the developer tools. It can't be that hard to get the proper message to the user. >>9702 > I'll consider raising it a little bit That would be welcomed too. I used to encode a lot of stuff to upload to threads so having more space is always nice.
Acidman, could you possibly raise the global maximum reply limit from 500 to 600 before a thread gets anchored?
I'm just here to add my voice to the many that already request the NSFW boards be removed from the top bar and front page until the user clicks on wanting to see NSFW content.
Why does 8chan keep asking me to accept some terms of agreement after a while?
>>9713 It's a bug. They've fixed it before but I don't know why the problem occasionally relapses. I've been getting it too.
Is the Tor file limit still ~8MB or has it been lowered? Because it keeps catching me at lower thresholds. Anywhere from mid 7.xx MB on. Or maybe it's another issue. It's impossible to know because the Tor file thing doesn't have a unique error message.
Could be the difference between MB and MiB.
>>9718 >>9719 I could figure that if it were like a 7.98 MB post or something but it's been blocking me at way lower thresholds. like one post I was trying to make yesterday came to 7.84 MB and it absolutely would not go through. I'm pretty sure I've had problems with it going through even at lower post sizes although I don't now remember those exact post sizes.
Hello, I've just created an account so that I can host a backup of my board here, which I have in another location. But I don't have permission yet. If the Staff wants, I can post the link here so that they can analyze the enclosure I have in case it helps to resolve whether I can or not. I assure you that there is no harm in my content, it's just a backup since the chans in my country, specifically the one where I host my original board, is unstable, and I recognize that it may not even last long.
>>9724 Hi, what software does your chan use (lynxchan, vichan, JSchan, tinyboard, Meguca, etc)? The admins of this site have a tool that makes it easy to migrate boards from other sites that run Vichan or Lynxchan. >I can post the link here so that they can analyze the enclosure I have in case it helps to resolve whether I can or not Please do. This will help the admins determine if it is possible to automatically migrate your board content.
>>9724 Please shoot me an email at Codexx (at) cock (dot) li and I will work with you on the migration. Edit to capcode. Still haven't received an e-mail from you.

>>9726 Not migrateanon, but inspired by the APNG thread picking up steam on >>>/v/1031284 is there any way the frontend or backend could be modified so APNG playback could start in the browser automatically without the restrictions of a 220 x 220 px and 25kb size limit? I really think that adopting modern web and compression standards like AVIF, JXL, and the new jpegli encoder will not only help cut down on bandwidth usage dramatically without sacrificing quality but also enable a rich media content experience that will attract a wider user base. I'm very much a benchmark and optimization guy so I want the site to have the best operation. I can shoot you an e-mail if you would like.
>>9729 The APNG thing is an oversight that's been known for some time, but APNGs are exceedingly rare so it wasn't high priority enough to fix. Basically, if you are below certain thresholds then no thumbnail is generated and the raw image can be used as its own thumbnail. Ironically enough, to make all APNGs have animated thumbnails I think would require fixing the oversight, since it means detecting and treating APNGs differently from regular PNGs and having an encoding pipeline to resize them without breaking them. >AVIF and JPEGXL support This is on my radar and I would like to push forward with it. I was actually expecting to be able to enable them a few months ago, but we ran into a memory leak issue with ImageMagick which delayed the whole thing. But I do think the delegates are in place once that issue is resolved.

whats the general wait time for e-mail confirmation?
>>9733 E-mails from the backend often get hard blocked by spam filters (not sent to spam, just outright deleted). If they do not arrive in the first 30 minutes, please send an e-mail to codexx (at) cock (dot) li from the e-mail attached to your account, and please include your username on the site (case-sensitive) so we can manually verify.

The site is taking a bit of a beating today. Don't know if its bad actors or election traffic craziness or some combination of the two. We're on it though, and mitigating it. Frontends, backends, network relays, almost everything has suffered some kind of "hiccup" over the past 18 hours, so its hard to think its coincidence, and its not the kind of "load cascade failure" that you'd get just from traffic spikes.

<mark and whoever runs the twitter are out there campaigning to further restrict the legal free speech of the site by throwing acid under the bus for not banning /zoo/ <while the site already has a soy "uhm the lolis are all 18+ ok" disclaimer which capitulates to those who don't know the difference between 2D (based) and 3D (cringe) <And >>9686 the site complies with DMCA from fucking INDIA

What are the rules of posting non-pornographic images from a random person's instagram/facebook on a porn board in a pornographic context?
>>9744 Also +18, so it's not a hebe situation
Are these spammers? The owner of /loli/ has returned...
>>9744 >>9745 Fine. Just keep in mind that they can DMCA request the files. There's also revenge porn laws in the US and that you could run afoul of. But without someone complaining there's no way for us to know there's a problem with them.
What is the board flag limit?
>>9750 I think it's 128 or 256. Most boards should not hit it.

>>9751 >I think it's 128 or 256. pics related are confusing because it's in the same spot as the banner limit but says "length" >Most boards should not hit it. Pre-existing boards with a culture centered around user-made flags definitely need it higher
>>9752 What do you think is a reasonable limit for such a board?
