We are approaching the end of Month 6. I am aiming to have a beta import of 8ch.net live for open testing by November 9th. This stable version will also mark Pre-Release Version 0.4.

This means that there should be equivalent tables for all data in the current Infinity database, and most (if not all) of 8chan's core system features should be present on Infinity Next. Many front-end features will still be missing, but we can add those over the course of November and December as we gain user feedback and continuously tweak the interface.

Infinity Next is unstable at the moment because of a huge number of change I've made this week to prepare for this import. This includes moving all public assets into the `static` directory, a change to the primary navigation that is completely unfinished, and a partial boardlist import. So, please bear with me. I realize that the site looks a bit trashed at the moment. I'm juggling a few updates at a time right now. I wanted to do the primary nav, then realized I had to get the board list done first, and then realized I was missing statistics, then realized I was also missing tags. When I tried to add the tags, I encountered issues with the collate which caused the scare that I would have to truncate the database, but my upgrade plan worked.

So this week, I got the site recording hourly statistics, I got the board tags working + an interface to support it. The primary navigation is ~30% complete, but the board list is more along 75% done. I'm working my way back up out of the rabbit hole now that the big nasty stuff is out of the way and by the end of next week the whole site should be much more cohesive and finished looking.

I've also received a fair number of duplicate questions since the last few months. Please read through this if you're curious about something.

What happens if funding drops?

Not much. I am not X amount of hours from starving, but if I go too far into the red I will be forced to pick up additional work to continue to support myself. If that happens, Infinity Next becomes a weekend project and not a job. Funding the project keeps my focus 100% on development.

Can we have X feature that I really want?

Can we? Yes. That's the entire point of the rewrite. I can do anything you want now because we have the infrastructure to support it.

Will we? Maybe. That's a later question, though. Most of these "can we have" features won't be considered until after Version 1.0.0, which is when 8chan will be running it live. I can't add feature requests on demand because there's so much for me to be doing. I will innovate where possible and where it's time-efficient, but most of the time I have to say "maybe later". If you're idea is really good, still feel free to suggest it. I keep a running tab of things I like.

Also, keep in mind that I will be importing pretty much every feature from 4chan X and 8chan X. If your question is "can we have this feature from 4chan X", assume the answer is yes.

What milestone are we on? Why isn't X milestone ticked off? Are we far behind?

The Milestone checklist became out of date pretty much after the second month. What I intended to do was develop the software in stages, with various levels of feature readiness, but that plan went out the window very quickly. What happened is I began to develop features that were front-facing first, so that people would have more to play with. This created a bit of an uneven slope, where post features and media embeds became a higher priority than some of the board owner and site admin features I wanted to build. That's why Infinity Dev features a really cool music and video player, but is still missing a lot of key features.

I'm very honest about the milestone keystone features. If something isn't checked, that means it is less than 100% done. This means that (taking for instance, Moderator Permissions), something can be 90% done with the only thing missing being a single interface, but I will still leave it unchecked. Some of the milestone keys are also broad, hard-to-define concepts like "Quality of Life" that can't truly be checked off.

At this stage in development, things seem very stable (in terms of finance, interest, and likelihood of the project seeing success) so if something's missing you shouldn't be concerned about it never being added or the project falling way behind. It's just an issue of priorities and having the ass-end of development catch up with everything else.

I am seething with rage that the new website looks somewhat different. What have you done?

If you don't like the design for whatever reason, look at these boards:

https://infinitydev.org/nunufag

https://infinitydev.org/kappa

A retro theme will be supplied on launch. This theme will be built by other people who want zero changes to the overall design.

The point is, it's not "retro", it's the default. Even people who bother to modify their board style barely even stray from it. You already need a miracle, forum migrations permanently kill their userbase virtually every time. What,you think no one will adopt your laughable design sense if you impose it on them from the start? You're absolutely correct.

uh no. they don't. I own a forum. We ran PHPBB for over a year. In 2014 we switched from that to XenForo and our population has gone up almost 1000% since then.

>What,you think no one will adopt your laughable design sense if you impose it on them from the start? You're absolutely correct. It will probably just become the mark of a retard newfag board owner.

Okay mate. Don't use 8chan after the migration. Nobody's forcing you to.

8chan can't survive without the software change. We are perpetually having problems. I've done my best with the design and am going to provide an alternative theme. If that's not good enough for you, you don't have to use it.

I couldn't use 8chan after the migration because it will be gone. You're going to pull the plug on it and hope people hang around for the substitute that barely resembles it. There are thousands of people on here right now who have been willing to put up with technical issues, but I guess that doesn't matter if each one can be replaced with 10 others. That's how much regard you have for the people here.

Can you actually explain what's wrong with next's theme?

When I open a thread on 8ch.net, The first page I see doesn't have anything from the thread, because the reply box take a huge amount of space. Next's layout is more efficient. Do you want the replybox to be draggable? That's front-end stuff, and it'll be probably worked on during the beta.

About the "OP crown", I personally have no problem with it. If during the beta everyone hate it, then it will be replaced. But for now, Josh can't know if you're representative of 8chan users's tastes in css.

Also you realise we are trading technical issues with solvable theming non-issues?

If we don't switch, eventually we won't be able to use 8chan at all since it's going down faster than the twin towers. It's already janky as fuck right now and that's even with a new feature freeze in order to avoid breaking more shit.

When I asked a buddy of mine to compare the code in next compared to the current code base, he took one look at the current code base and basically determined that the code was so shit it would be basically be impossible for Josh to do a worse job on the back end unless he was huffing spray paint.

Plus people who are saying the UI is shit ought to have reasons, I think it's ok personally anyways.

No, but we will have support for current version json in GET format. Legacy URLs will be enabled on 8chan so accessing /test/res/1.json will work, and will also indicate you want to use version 1 API, whereas /test/thread/1.json (the new URL) indicates you want version 2 API.

There was never a promise that we would not have Captchas. There is no way I would ever promise this because it is the only tool we have to diminish the amount of spam we get.

What was promised, and is currently being worked on, is a way too reduce the number of captchas you have to enter and reduce how annoying they are.

On the live (development) site, you are required to enter one captcha per hour or for every 10 posts. These numbers are going to be settings, so administrators (copypaste) can tweak it as required to achieve the best results.

Some other benefits of the new post forms include ...

- Knowing you will have to answer a captcha before you press post, even if it's a DNSBL captcha and not just a board one. (Done)

- Not losing file uploads (or anything else) if you have to answer a captcha. Once your files are uploaded, they remain on the server for a little bit waiting for you to complete your post. (Done)

- A responsive post form that hides or displays the captcha field depending on if it's required. (To-do)

There is no way to remove the need for captchas.

I'm sorry, there just isn't. There's a reason why every site in the entire world uses them. Bots fucking slam any site without a Turing test. That's just the world we live in.

4chan does several things to mitigate spam. They ban basically every public IP in the world (forces you to use domestic IP that your ISP keeps track of). They force everyone to use reCaptcha (ties to your G+ account so Google knows what forms you fill out). If you want to skip the other two requirements, you can buy a 4chan pass (stores credit information) and tie all your posts to 4chan Pass keys (they have to track the posts/pass relationship so that spammer passes can be deactivated).

8chan doesn't do this. We only need you to fill out one captcha every X posts or X hours. I can't get rid of that, but I can make life a little less shit.

I think nobody would have ever cared about the DNS captcha if it appeared in the reply box like a normal captcha, instead of a separate page behind an unexpected popup window.


cd57fa No.1527

Of course. That happens already. You get 1 captcha per x hours or x posts per IP. It inlines and doesn't disrupt your file uploads. It's peachy.

Copypaste is also really good at captcha work now. We'll want to keep tweaking fonts and colors in the captcha so that they are easier to answer and harder to break. The captcha system I've built is also open source and can be integrated into your own Laravel project, so we may get other developers improving that as well.

Why not allow BOs to set up temporary IP address blockades? Like only people with specific IPs who posted before a certain date are allowed to post for a temporary time. It would solve issues related to proxy shitposts and whatnot for at least a short while.

Yes, it does. Pretty straightforward that the less complicated and more human-readable a captcha is the less of a valid turing test it is. Attached is an example of a captcha from the new system. You can generate your own going here:

https://infinitydev.org/cp/captcha/

The length, number of flourishes, fonts, font size, colors, background color, and the character set are all customizable. We can even create different profiles and potentially let board owners decide which to use.

This also supports foreign languages. I intend on shipping a Kanji / Chinese captcha as well.

The new board list design you introduced is actually better. The only problem I have with it is that now I am unable to sort boards by post count. Board sorting seems to be fixed in sort by UID mode.

I tried to respond to the thread on infinitydev earlier but apparently I'm rangebanned over IPv6. Basically, the gist was this:

Autists will complain about every change, mayne. Just let hotwheels deal with it :^)

The only thing that's triggering my autism is that Elixir isn't being used to its full potential.

You have powerful preprocessors available at your disposal, and this will come in handy when you're managing several or more "base" stylesheets upstream.

Other than that, everything is just superficial. I think you should obviously be focusing more on parity than shitting about stylesheet choices and presentation of content. Even things like the favorite boards list is more important, and that shit is javascript that can be whipped up in five minutes. I think the kinks will be worked out in open beta, and if autists are really going to whine about the basic design choices just let Fred deal with it.

But of course, a great way of letting him, or any downstream deal with autism about stylesheets would be some preprocessor magic, using Elixir.

It looks great, just focus on parity right now. My 2c.

when will you standardize thread titles so images dont indent them to varying horizontal places. it should always be consistent, things like the hide button and other things shouldnt fucking move from thread to thread. It makes them useless when scrolling and hiding things you dont care about.

Hey Josh. Right now if OP has multiple images then you can't see them in catalog. Can you make it so that the images in catalog have arrows at both sides of the image so you can rotate between all the images of the OP?

You could also make it show all the images on mouse-over if there's a good way to show it instead of the previous method.

I just spend some time messing with Infinity Next, and there is a laundry list of things I want to point out. I would first like to say thanks for putting so much time and effort into the project, I want you to know that I nit-pick about everything because I really love 8chan and if this place died because the users left due to a bad layout decisions I think I'd probably rage quit the internet.

You talk a lot about how things have changed over the years, and therefore the site layout must change with the times, but I think you fail to understand exactly what has made the Chan layout so great to begin with, and why it doesn't need major changes. It's easy to assume that an old design was made by accident and the creators had no idea what they were doing, because it was Web 1.0 or whatever, but in fact it is abundantly clear they knew exactly what they were doing to create the best layout possible, and I'll show you why.

It's clear to me than when you started making Infinity Next, you decided that all posts need to be in the darker colored boxes. This created an immediate problem though. How do you tell apart an OP post from a reply when viewing a page? The original design knew that the best way to subconsciously distinguish between an OP and a reply is to have the OP text on top of the lighter colored site background, with the replies resting on top of the background inside individual darker colored boxes. Without ever needed to explain anything, people subconsciously understand the visual difference between an OP and a reply. In Infinity Next, you had to "solve" this problem by placing a distracting colored bar on top of the box that the OP is inside of. Instead of a subconscious understanding, you have have to consciously seek out which boxes have a colored bar on them to find an OP, and it overall looks terribly distracting.

For additional visual reinforcement on the original design, if the OP is short enough in length, then the first visible reply gets shifted to the right and tucked underneath the OP post, further indicating the difference between the two. If the text is too long, then this does not occur. Infinity Next does not appear to have this visual indicator.

Additionally, the Chan layout uses >> to signify a reply box. This was useful for demonstrating that quoting a post number via >> relates to the same symbol present at the left of each box. 8chan removed this from its design, and honestly I've come to like it that way. I suppose I would be neutral on whether or not the >> should stay or go.

Lastly, a simple, 1 pixel thick, horizontal line adds the final bit of visual reinforcement for where replies stop and a new OP begins. I really would not ditch this.

On 4chan and 8chan, a thread with too many replies to display on the front page will have many replies hidden, and are visible either by clicking a + sign or by clicking "Click to expand." This is an extremely useful feature for anyone browsing the front page that scrolls past something they might be interested in, but don't feel like opening the thread in a new tab because there are only 10-20 replies. Expanding it allows a quick read of all the replies before going futher down the page. Infinity Next does not have this feature, and instead has a faint, barely visible "Omitted" number displayed. Due to the OP box problem talked about earlier, the "Omitted" text look strangely out of place being outside the box, instead of nicely tucked into the OP like it normally is.

It doesn't generate a full-size thumbnail comparable to 8chan, but it looks like it is trying to, because it adds a strange blank space on the right side of the thumbnail, and stranger still when you click to expand the image, the blank space changes into a different color than what the box surrounding it is. Please fix this, I like 8chan's large thumbnails.

I notice that the "Anonymous - date - time - ID - post number" is rendered at a smaller size, instead of the same size as the post text like it normally is. I'm not crazy about this change, but I could probably live with it.

Will there be an option to not have colored IDs? I don't like the way it looks, but I understand others may find it useful, so I think there should be an option for those who like it and those who don't.

I like that the reply box is sort of stuck in place on the right hand side, though it has some really strange rendering behaviors that need sorting out. I don't understand what the point of the + sign is, as all it does is blank out the page I am on, and stick the box in the upper-left corner of the screen. Not really useful. If I click and drag the bottom left corner to expand the window size, and then click the X button to minimize the window, it shinks the red bar down to the default width, and leaves behind a darker colored box that isn't there if I didn't expand the window and clicked X. Very strange looking. See attachment.

I like that the text is wrapping to about 75% of my screen width on a large screen, I'm guessing you saw my old /operate/ thread requesting a feature for this on 8chan. Right now on 8chan I have it customized in CSS to 55%, so it would be nice if I could get this customization on Infinity as well, but I don't feel it's very critical right now.

I'm not crazy about the design for the multi-file uploads. I do like the idea of spoilering only select files if you like, but the visual design to demonstrate the option looks strange. The big check marks aren't pleasing either. Attached is a simple mockup based on the existing design that might work better.

To cut down on this wall of text, here is a quick list of other features I noticed are missing:

-No back-linking to show how many replies a post got.

-No hover preview of a quoted post to see that post before clicking the link to go to it.

-No clicking an ID to highlight each post in the thread that ID made.

-Formatting is all kinds of screwed up: Spoiler tag makes text bold. Italic tag does nothing. Bold tag does nothing. Underline tag makes text bold. Code tag does nothing. Strike-through tag is functional though. Red-text tag doesn't work, but there is some kind of alternative way to make giant red text.

-No hotkeys for any of the tag functions listed above.

-Also no tag wrap button available, which is a hugely useful function for people posting on a phone.

-The date doesn't mention the day of week, a minor but helpful feature.

There might be other things missing that I'm not aware of yet, but honestly I don't feel this is ready for prime time at all.

Oh, and one more thing, captcha for each post is a bad idea. Once per day I can live with though. Alternatively, if I can drop down some cash once per year to buy an 8chan pass that skips captcha, like like 4chan has, I will absolutely buy it.

Oh, and I also just realized there is no Anonymous (You) on Infinity Next, and I'm guessing there is also no >>postnumber (You), right?

Hope we get inlining this month and fast, that is the only feature that is still really needed to make posting and reading more comfortable.

Guess this all means the time to gain familiarization with the board management system is now.

Looks like someone else (re)created the 8ch board I help manage. Would have been nice to take it for a spin. Still, I created an appropriately trollish named test board to noodle around with.

Two questions:

After the switchover happens, who do we contact if we can't sign in to the board's management page?

Also, could we get the users the ability to edit their own posts? Presumably this would need to rely on a password field, as with thread deletion, etc.

copy.

maybe

I'd really like this too. Maybe allow post editing within 2 minutes of posting. Too often I submit the post and immediately realize something that's wrong or something that I'd want to add.

Hey Josh, faggot straight from /v/ here.

There's a bunch of guys complaining about the new look, and I'd say that the silent majority dislikes it. How about we stick to basics and make the regular look of the site similar to this one?

Ah shit, I can't read.

At least I got trips.

Why change everything? Give us the functionality and set up of the existing 8chan and then build up from there.

Also this captcha every post thing is arse holy fuck.

Same, came from /v/ as well and I can't say that I'm too fond of the new look. Although I heard there's going to be an option to get the old look back, is that true?

>>1785

And I agree about the captcha, it does nothing to stop spam and it's just an inconvenience.

This. I don't like it. It should look the same but not be broken, ideally. There should be minimal changes to the layout.

if you're looking for something like this, josh has frequently stated that he's not going to add it as the default because "it's bad design" or something, a bad way of separating content, I don't quite remember

tl;dr: <hr> triggers josh

try looking at http://infinitydev.org/kappa, that was all done with CSS

He can take his triggers and fuck off to tumblr then, this shit is being funded by the users, give us what we want.

I'm fine with a captcha once a day like we already have.

But if I'm understanding correctly the frequency is being upped a good deal.

That's really gay.

Your shitty software looks like garbage.

Thank you for nigh killing 8chan you fucking pedophile Null.

Thanks to you, I think the site is going to lose a lot of users who don't want to deal with the vomit inducing mess that Infinity Never is

captcha slows down people trying to shit up boards and stops people using spam scripts completely, it's a good thing.

That's my point!

Also you had no reason to lock the thread: it was on topic

and stop assuming you know who you're talking to!

What about cyclical threads, by the way?

>>1859

I think the main problem is in the way captchas are served right now. Most of the time you don't actually have to complete a captcha, but since you refreshed at a time when you did have to complete a captcha it's templated that way and you'll find yourself having to fill out a captcha every post unnecessarily.

Fuck off, retard.

Also is your kanban board public, Josh? I might try to make some proposals and pulls, and it might be helpful to other people as well if it were.

I still think we're keeping current policy, he's just testing out the captcha.

As far as my thoughts go, he needs to add horizontal lines to the index instead of the tab shit he has going on, plus the catalog right hand reply box has a LOT of wasted space. I don't think its enough to kill 8chan but I can see the issues with it.
