There's a security flaw in 0.9, so you should probably upgrade anyway.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thrive to spite them
I skipped a bunch in this thread but I was wondering what the status of the user filter was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's in debugging, askye.

Has DCistas been moved to the b.org server?

Hey. New board.
I have a suggestion.
Would it be possible to set things up so that the threadsuck pages default to opening links in a new window?
Reasoning: I can't count the number of times that I've been catching up in a thread with a several-hundred post threadsuck, gotten halfway down and read about a Cool Website of Awesomeness (tm) with link included. I click, absentmindedly, read the CWoA, and then hit my back button, only to get greeted with the "This page relied on POSTDATA. Would you like to resubmit it?" I sigh, choose "Yes," wait a minute, hurt the b.org servers a bit for no obvious reason, and scroll down trying to find where I stopped reading. It's... annoying.
Now, I could simply middle-click the links and close the new tab when I'm done. I know this. And, usually, I'll do that the SECOND link I check out. But I still had to go through it once because I'm stupid.
But if links opened by default in a new window...
This may annoy more people than it helps. Just a thought.

I've had that thought, too, Nova. I'd find it really helpful, but I don't know enough about coding to know if it'd be a pain to implement.

What is even happening?
I wish all our links added the functionality that the target="_blank" coding does when you make an t a href tag. The Bronze Beta does this. All links open up a new page. If you include the target="_blank" coding in your t a href there though, your link doesn't link.

I like the idea that the threadsuck has them, but I'm reluctant to do that for every link.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I open a new tab (but not window) for links, so that functionality in general links would subtract functionality for me.
I have no opinion on the threadsuck issue.

Hey. New board.
If you middle-click a link designed to open in a new window, it will still open in a new tab rather than a new window. So if it was implemented, opening links in a new tab would work exactly the same.
