I don't have dreamhost access or anything, but I have a similar rotating function running on my personal server. I think if you logged in to the dreamhost account via SSH and did

crontab -l; echo "0 4 * * * find /home/buff_org/buffistas.org/phoenix/www.buffistas.org/logs -mtime +3 -exec rm {} ;" | crontab

then that would set it up. However, that does assume that the log gets regularly written out to separate files; it won't delete old lines. It deletes files older than 3 days every day at 4am.

P.S. I have a feature request for the new board that we enable markdown, at least for bold and italics. The quick-edits are awesome but markdown is becoming second nature for me and is better for inline formatting...

I will add the cron job this evening.

I can't add a cron job, because I get the following error:

[ps189917]$ crontab -l

crontabs/buff_org/: fopen: Permission denied

[ps189917]$ crontab

/var/spool/cron/: mkstemp: Permission denied

Maybe it's something we need to do through the web console?

Hmm. Some googling makes it seem like you should be able to do it on commandline, but there is a web interface as well.

I've had thoughts about markdown support. Probably would be a post-release thing though.

I'll have a new beta board up before too long. A few more details to work out.

beta.buffistas.me is the location of the new beta board. You can just register now, no more invite codes.

There are lots and lots of missing features right now.

Just tried to register:

The change you wanted was rejected.

Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.
