Maybe not have it that the session id appears in the URL every now and then for enhances security? It seems to happen always when it re-logs with cookies.

I wondered about this for a bit... Then I discovered that it actually works this way. Well, what do you know.

Of course, this is like from page 16... So quite a while ago.

Suggestion: Have SAX use WebSockets to communicate whenever possible, falling back to the existing continuous polling. This would stop constant requests from hitting the server and allow messages to get pushed to clients, not sent on poll (lowering bandwidth and latency). Keep the existing method for unsupported browsers or if WebSockets error out.

I understand that this is just a suggestion/idea and know that there would be work on web and server-side to support this, just seems like a better idea than a polling method.

Suggestions for cemete.ch:
1) improve the cipher selection for the HTTPS version.
My specially configured Firefox (no RC4, only PFS ciphers - that's a feature of the SSLeuth extension) refuses to talk to the server, unless I temporarily enable the bad ciphers, for the "no common ciphers" reason.
2) redirect to the HTTPS version of Cemetech, in case the HTTPS version of cemete.ch doesn't already do that.

Granted, cemete.ch is far from being the only site with poor cipher parameters (see https://www.trustworthyinternet.org/ssl-pulse/ and weep - and that's only the most used sites on the Internet, don't dare mentioning many companies' core pieces of corporate infrastructure where business critical information is being exchanged).

And don't forget that cemetech still has posts that partly-break when using HTTPS-only resources (which I have mentions numerous times, YouTube tags don't use https and therefore fail to load).

And obligatory SSL report for Cemetech.

I think I have an update for the website. Especially for the TI-BASIC forum, there are many Code Routines etc. It is very hard to search one. Is it possible to make a kind of dropdown menu or whatever?

The thing with that is there's no backend in place for this. Also, how would we sort the topics in the drop down? Also, who do we place the burden of sorting on? The topic creators, admins? Topic Creators may not identify their topic appropriately (and topics may not be complete, and this wouldn't really fit in a "Here's how to do..." dropdown) and Admins aren't exactly itching for more work, we've got jobs and lives we'd prefer to live than go through new (and old?) TI-BASIC topics and sort them.

How would we list the topics?
• BASIC
• Hyrbid BASIC
• ...

or

• List to String
• Player Movement
• Save to AppVar
• ...

The most scalable answer I have is that I recommend you increase your google-fu skill. Also, break your problem into parts. If you need to create a script that moves a character around a room when a button is pressed then first tackle movement. When left is pressed go left until X-Min = 0. Then, work on the distance. Go left for 5 pixels. Then, work on object collision. If path is clear, go left 5 pixels. Before you know it you'll have a working script to move a character around. Break things up into smaller blocks rather than tackling all of something at once. Of course, first search for a similar topic and see if it helps you otherwise create a topic and we'll gladly help you through all of the steps you require.

When using the Code display with BBCode, when a quotation mark is used, make it so that the green part ends at a hard return or a Sto arrow.
Eg.:
Code:


If we want multi-line comments, we could use /* ... */, or start each line with " or //

There's also the problem with '.

When you capture a screenshot in jsTIfied, it would be nice if the keypresses could be displayed. I've no idea how to, but I'm sure it will be possible.

Can the permalink icons be cemete.ch/p instead of the long/regular URL?

When using Cemetech from my phone in portrait mode, the layout moves the sidebar below the whole page. So far, so good but it says "SAX disabled due to small screen size" although the my phone's screen width is bigger than the width of the sidebar shown at the PC.
I think this should be removed, pop out SAX is as big as the chatbox on every regular page then .

I bet teachers would like that a lot. I'll consider how that could be done.
I'd rather they not be, since that's not their most permanent form.
Especially considering the fact that SAX is actually running, even though it's hidden, I'm perfectly fine with this.

You could add a counter to count every topic's views. Every view should be valid only one week, then it gets subtracted back, resulting in an score for every page. The top, let's say 5 topics, can be displayed at the homepage, in an own element called something like "Most popular". This would make people, especially newcomers, see what important is happening right now, and due to the "One week only" rule it will always be up-to-date. To prevent something like Bug Reports topics to show up, you could add a check for sticky and/or announcement topics to exclude them.

I know color in IRC is disallowed (for style conflicts with client styles, I presume) but I would like to propose adding color to the Posts and Topics? Such as when someone posts in a topic that line could be red or something in IRC; Mostly to break up the monotony with saxjax replaying chat and posts.

One idea I had was to add line numbers to code blocks. This would make it easier to describe where you believe certain things are happening, aside from comments.

So I read somewhere on another forum topic about there being a sprite sheet for the website that makes it lightweight overall
So if it's a picture sprite sheet, we could have it so that we make custom themes and have our own spritesheets (much like skins in Minecraft)

We do use a picture sprite sheet and including the header, these are the only images in the Cemetech 6.5 Theme. It'd be very easy for someone to write a script for Stylish or another style enhancing plugin for their browser that replaces the CSS. I did something similar when we released the updated theme but not as drastic.

It could be possible, considering the uniformity of the menu bars, to maybe create a set of sprites representing all of the borders on the website.

In the upper navigation and tool boxes, there is the time displayed.
Could you make it display US time instead of local? As it is sometimes useful to know the US time, but wether you are on a PC or on a mobile or on whatever, a device able to show Cemetech will be able to show local time even better than Cemetech does (It seems to be summer time, as it is by one hour off right now...).

This is rather a small issue, and it is probably just me, but I always seem to press the logout link in mobile rather than the goto new posts. Or maybe I should just learn how to zoom
